'Son of Batman' Movie Review

You can read my review of the film here.



                                                






Pros


- Solid action sequences peppered throughout the film

- Manages to make Damian more sympathetic and fleshed out when he easily could have been a detriment to the viewer

- Using Deathstroke as a main antagonist worked really well, as his feud with (admittedly a different) Robin made a nice nod to the cartoon and his status as rival/heir to Ra's made sense while doing something different with the character.



Cons

- Not enough Nightwing

- Voice acting and script are clunky early on, though thankfully, this gets better as the movie goes forward

- Your mileage may vary on the ninja man-bats.  Yes, that did happen in the comics and if you like the goofier comic stuff, it won't bother you.  If you like your Batman grounded in reality, this could be a deal-breaker for you.



Overall

Due to the fact that this centered on Damian and the aforementioned early faults with voice acting and script, I was skeptical about this one.  It did, however, manage to win me over.  There's plenty of action and each sequence is impressive in its own right.
