Nice effects though.

hyped garbage

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Under the red hood is an excellent make. Everything is on point and the story line is amazing.

Everything was done right in this movie. The characters fit perfectly to the plot. No Batwoman romance, that usually ruins most of the other movies. In this one we see the real Batman as most fans want to see him. The atmosphere is dark and original. The animation and voice acting is also great. I actually would love to see this as a movie with real actors, but I don't think it could come close to this masterpiece.Although it's only 75min you get a deeper and better story than on many 160min movies. There are no boring parts or unnecessary scenes. The ending is also perfect and not as simple as good hero defeating evil bad guy. Under the Red Hood is definitely my favorite Batman movie next to Assault on Arkham. I'd give more stars if it was possible.

Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm, Batman: Return of the Joker, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, The Dark Knight Returns Part1, Part2 and then Batman: Under The Red Hood. This movie should definitely been made into the big screen starring Ben Affleck as Batman and Jensen Ackles i never watched Supernatural but my god this guy killed it as Jason Todd and the ending it was so sad and deep down he has a point don't kill Two-Face or Penguin or Black Mask but my god the Joker put Barbara into a wheelchair and he killed Jason Todd what more does Batman really want him to do in order to kill him? i mean common the reason why Tim Burton's Batman and Snyder's Batman went out of their moral code is because those 2 people had a vision what if Batman killed someone? and he does and that's amazing once in a while Batman should kill. Now i never read the comic i know the story but i never got to read it however i read Battle for the Cawl where Bruce is supposed to be dead and Jason is even more insane he dresses up as Batman and he has 2 guns and he shoots whatever gets in his way and in that comic where Tim Drake the 3rd Robin if i remember correctly almost killed by him and that was shocking to me while i read it the only problem i had with the film is that i need more blood which Killing Joke will have since it's R-Rated and when the chase started with the car and the Batwing the effects looked a little bit weird not bad just weird. In the end Under the Red Hood brings a classic story to life, with amazing performances by a very good cast, great action but also drama. I give it a 10 out of 10.

Brandon Vietti directed the 2010, direct-to-video DC Comics animated feature "Batman: Under the Red Hood," and it is by far one of the best - if not the best - DC Comics animated features that DC has put out over the last decade.The first DC Comics animated movie to really make an impression on me was "Green Lantern: First Flight" (2009), and later "Wonder Woman" (2009); as an aside, the latter film, along with the live-action TV show from the 1970s that starred Lynda Carter, converted me into a fan of the first female superhero of any historical significance.Getting back to "Batman: Under the Red Hood," the film, at the time of its release, was just the latest adaptation of the DC Comics superhero created by Bob Kane. Its masterfully written script by Judd Winick re-uses a central plot element from a key "Batman" comic book story from the 1950s ("Detective Comics #168"), as well as borrowing some elements from the 1988 one-shot graphic novel story "Batman: The Killing Joke" by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland; as another aside, "Batman: The Killing Joke" is my favorite "Batman" comic book story of all time."Batman: Under the Red Hood" opens with an action sequence that should strike comic book fans as shockingly familiar: the death of Jason Todd (Jensen Ackles), the second Robin, at the hands of The Joker (John DiMaggio). Batman (Bruce Greenwood) is too late to save his young protégé, and five years later the Dark Knight has continued his lone crusade against crime in Gotham City. He is reluctantly aided in his adventures sometimes by Dick Grayson (Neil Patrick Harris), the first Robin, who is now Nightwing.A mysterious vigilante called the Red Hood soon shows up on the scene, and begins flexing his muscle as he kills criminals left & right at will while apparently trying to establish his own criminal empire. The Red Hood becomes a thorn in the side of resident crime boss Black Mask (Wade Williams), who soon breaks The Joker out of Arkham Asylum in a bid to murder the Red Hood. Batman and Nightwing soon get in on the action, too, but Batman quickly realizes that the Red Hood has a shocking connection to his past. And shockingly enough, The Joker is a wild card figure in all this superhero-vs.-vigilante chaos."Batman: Under the Red Hood" was a surprisingly good and gripping animated superhero film. The film's shocking opening sequence will certainly jolt unwary viewers out of any cynicism they may have had going into this picture, and will definitely prove to them that anything can happen in this brisk, 75-minute superhero thriller. Just because this film is rated "PG-13," that does not automatically mean that it's suitable for children. There is some decidedly course language here, as well as some pretty disturbing sights and sounds that should drive home the point that this is exactly how a "Batman" should be told - in any format.I guess that if there is any real fault to be had with "Batman: Under the Red Hood," it's that the true identity of the Red Hood becomes obvious a little too early in the picture. To me, I was thinking that this connection should have come a little bit later. But it's easy to dismiss since after that point, the movie really picks up and doesn't really stop until its shocking conclusion.This is one DC animated film you definitely do not want to miss.P.S.: I've often praised what DC Comics has been able to do with their animated features like this one and their TV shows, like the live-action "Arrow" and "Batman: The Animated Series" from the early 1990s. I honestly don't think they stand much of a chance trying to recreate the DC Universe on the big screen - like what Marvel Comics is doing with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). I think that DC Comics should try their hand at smaller-scale projects, since that is the one area that Marvel has not really tapped into.10/10
