Damian, Alfred and Nightwings "cameo +" were enjoyable and well written. Batman/Bruce was also well written but animated poorly and I just don't like Jason O'Mara's hayfever throat Bat-voice.

I must say that this is the first DC animated film that I would tell folks they can take or leave. Also a word of caution this one is not at all kid friendly as there is a ton of overt bloodshed and a bit of brutality to boot.

I will throw out a spoiler as it really ruined the film for me and starts in the opening scene and plays throughout but...

Spoiler
why the heck is the League of Assassins solely armed with swords and arrows throughout? I understand the opening scene they were practicing when attacked but no armaments for Ra's. Really? Catapults and an arrow gatling gun? Wtf? NOt to mention that when they do go on missions later in the film they still only carry swords?!?!?!
oh wow. didn't realize this was out yet. ill have to pick it up. but that was a nice overview review MM. but ill probably get it anyway. usually i like things that others do not. i have all the other BM animated films. i might like i if its bloody and brutal.

and for the spoiler..
Spoiler
maybe its because they think the swords and medieval weapons are more honorable? or more tactical? just an idea. but at least thats how i would look at it.

Enemy - 3.5/5

A man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie.

An interesting surreal thriller from the director of Prisoners. Great performance from Jake Gyllenhaal playing two parts with subtlety. Mysterious and thought provoking, worth checking out if you're into thrillers like that.

amazing spiderman 2: saw a preview last night. good 7 / 10. First 3/4 of the movie: 8/10 with the last 1/4th being more a 6 / 10.

Special effects were incredible (worth seeing in the theaters and in 3D for this)! Jamie Foxx was really good.

Felt like they tried to throw in too much in the last 1/4th. Story really should have been about Electro with a preview of the Goblin.

Big moment in the movie wasn't allowed to resonate with the viewer as they rushed to the next part of the movie. This was the big miss for me.
