So, basically all I've been doing this week is waiting for this DVD. I get home from school...run out to the mailbox and....(drumroll)... IT'S EMPTY! In my head I'm cursing the postal office for taking it from me, then I go inside and on the kitchen table...(louder drumroll) LAYS THE GEM! I rip open the package...or at least try! Damn greencapt, you seal those m'fers good! So I use scissors and get the thing out, run downstairs and pop it in de DVD playa. It starts up, and my eyes are locked to the screen.
The movie shoots right into action, and pretty much stays that way throughout. It rarely slows down except for when Freeze shares sad moments with his wife (which I love) and when Poison Ivy does some stupid crap (which regardless how good the edit is I hate...
)The opening is great and I love that it's faster than the original...at least it seemed faster anyways.
This movie seemed so much darker than the original, or maybe it's just my copy of the original. A copied VHS version that was copied off of another VHS... SO I never really even had a good copy of this before. Well that VHS is getting thrown out the window and in it's place will sit this nice edit.
In this film, Freeze is a badass, Batman isn't a dumbass, and Robin is just a sidekick...like he's supposed to be.
Although I enjoyed this alot I must say I still have those uncontrollable gripes that just come with this film.
-I still hate the score, except for the Freeze/Wife theme. Greencapt has no control over this though.
-Uma Thurman's piss poor acting. Once again out of of Greencapt's control.
-I still hate the Wayne Diamond Auction. The scene sucks...period. I don't see why they didn't just have Bruce and Dick monitoring for freezes attack from atop the building or just waiting then gearing up. It would've reduced the cheese, but I guess Shumacher wanted cheese.
Overall...
My Grade for the Film Now: C... had it had more unASSish material to put in it would've seemed more complete to me...but I knew that it was going to be short and sweet.
Grade of Greencapt's skills: A+ you go DAWG!
