I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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

This is a spoiler free review, so you don't have to worry xD. Batman is like one of the best superheroes in the DC universe, and this movie just proves the point!. This movie is very interesting without any unnecessary scenes/plot. Story is superb and well- written. The action scenes doesn't fail the expectations of Batman fans and the casual viewers themselves. Is it boring? NO! Violence and stuffs like that? YES! A lot of violence actually, and gore and stuff..I still haven't watched the second part yet, but I will write a review once I have seen the movie.Overall - It is a good movie, You can gladly spend 1 hour and 15 minutes of your life to watch this. Again, the only thing bugging me is the violence and It's PG-13.. So I'd give a solid 9.5 on 10...Hope this review helped, please check out my other reviews !!!! :)

1. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Hollywood picked this story for a major live action release. Message received.2. Lots of talk about the best Batman voice. Weller nailed it. Oscar worthy and yes Virginia they do give Oscars for voice actors.3. Omigawd. Whatta script. Seen this 2-parter three times, each time I find new social commentary in the dialog. After the Joker segment you think to yourself, this can't get any better. And then you get the "schoolboy" segment. And it does.4. I am running out of adjectives. If you have not seen it already, see it now.5. Finally a note for the IMDb archive. Hollywood loves to do films about getting old. Hundreds at least. Comedies, dramas, everything in-between. I believe that over the years to come, this gem will be recognized as the greatest film about getting old ever done. They took the iconic characters that an entire generation grew up with and then imagined what things would be like at the end of life's run. Watch it with that in mind and you will see things you did not see first time around.

What can I say about this film that hasn't already been said? So often, great comics are adapted for the big or even small screen and random things are changed for whatever reason but not in this case. This film is like a love letter to the original comics it is based off of. And don't even get me started on the soundtrack, it is amazing. Part 2 gets most of the glory because of the Joker, and the Superman fight but this movie is just as good if you ask me. I literally have no complaints about this movie. This is in fact the only 10 out of 10 I've given on IMDb so far. And guess what? I'm going to review Part 2 right after this and that will be my second 10 out of 10. Part 1 and 2 need to be watched back to back.

It's definitely one of the best Batman features I've watched in a while (not a big fan of Christopher Nolan's "Gotham's Jesus"). It's a different Batman, faithful to the character tailored by Frank Miller. This Batman is old, angry and not a bit soft. He knows what he needs to do and he does it.The animation is dynamic and nicely drawn (not in the anime- influenced style of Flashpoint: Paradox). This is exactly how comic book adaptations should be made.Sad thing is, best DC adaptations come in direct-to-video format. Recently I tried watching Flash and Arrow, huge letdowns, if you ask me. But "The Dark Knigh Returns" is the real deal. It isn't fake, it has the spirit and the atmosphere.Now I'm off to my Batcave to watch the second part.
