What makes it different from others?

Brilliant and touching

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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

This one right out of the gate is quite dark. I liked that a darker tone was set which ends up making sense for the story later on. I had looked up the cast prior to watching it and it made me question if these actors can handle these roles. I think for the most-part the answer is yes. Bruce Greenwood does a fine job as Batman without trying to sound like Kevin Conroy or overly macho. Neil Patrick Harris I wish had a bit more to do and part of me wonders if it might have been better if he swapped roles and played Red Hood instead of Nightwing. It's probably because of Doctor Horrible but I think he would have brought a bit more to the role than Jensen Ackles. John DiMaggio does okay as the Joker although I did find him slipping into Mark Hamill's Joker here and there especially when he was laughing.The story I quite liked and without spoiling anything is enjoyable despite not surprising me much. It had a consistent tone and the contrast of violence and the parallels of the Red Hood to the Joker made for a satisfying conclusion.

It was quite a show while watching this movie because it approached some of less unknown characters that haven't been shown in the acted movies. Story follows number of characters such as Red Hood, Black Mask and Joker on their way to deal with new situations that are happening in Gotham. First Joker was very nicely shown with his madness, brutality when he beat Robin with crowbar and his provocative actions with Batman. There was a lot of action between Red Hood and Batman as on number of occasions he kept chasing him and after finally learning his real identity he tried to made him understand what is he fighting for. This is one of the better parts of DC comics and it was greatly told. Story is nicely developed and also characters are shown in their greatness. 3.5/4

Batman Under the Red Hood is a awesome movie and I can not under stand why it have not been put in the big screen ,because it has it all : action, mystery ,good characters ,excellent voice work and an amazing ending with for those who have already seen the flick or read the comic a Death in the Family and Red Hood ,you for what I am talking. The reason why DC does not try to put them on the big screen is ,in my point of view , because their first try to the The Mask of the Phantasm in 1993 flop and so the stop trying.This is cowardly for a lack of a better word.Anywat let's go to the main story, Batman is trying to find out what and who is a new vigilante in Gotham ,who calls himself the Red Hood and he uses more extreme measures in order to stop crime. Put in the story the Joker and some great secondary characters like, Nightwing, Back Mask and Ras Al Guhl and you have a roller coaster of a movie ,which fan and casual movie buffs can enjoy alike. I had fun seen it and the fact that the voice cast is not the usual ( Kevin Conroy for Batman and Mark Hamill for the Joker for example ) makes me respect the final product even more.It is said that the best hero stories are those ,which he or she faces his or her greatest adversary both in physical and mental field and we see that here. The relationship between the Cape Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime is one of the most historic hero-villain arks so when the producers decide to show it ,they have to respect and be faithful to their mythology and not use it as just a marketing scheme in order to increase sells. Yes ,it may seem a lot ,and it is ,but when you deal with some of the most famous characters in the whole of fiction you should do that things, if you want your work to be loved and Under the Red Hood fits this criteria close to excellent.In conclusion is good ,entertainmenting ,faithfull to its source material and everything from the designs to the characters' voices show that this is not a one night stand but a serious project. So go buy or rend it and watch it ,if you love the character of the Dark Knight ,like me, then you will love this flick also.
