![]() The original material is respected (to a degree), and the characters are deep instead of just campy. Tim Burton corrected all of that by giving us a dark, sinister and Gothic world with rich production design and a great score by Danny Elfman (who has made a career out of recycling the same old generic cues in nearly every movie he has scored). Up until this point the Batman series from the 1960s is how the vast majority of the audience regarded the Batman character and universe. The marketing team at Warner succeeded in immersing the public consciousness with the big-screen coming of the Dark Knight. This "grown up" rating gave it an alluring mystique as was always the case with such movies to my hungry, impressionable mind. Batman had a 12-rating in the UK, and was upped to 15 for video. My lot of movies that summer was restricted to Ghostbusters II and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, both of which I saw in Florida. I remember being in a car, driving up Lothian Road in Edinburgh and seeing a long line of people queuing at the box office of the Cannon Cinema (as it was then) and being jealous that I wasn't old enough to see it. People were queueing up around the block for hours (the literal meaning of a blockbuster). If you were around in summer 1989 then you'll remember that Batmania was EV-ER-Y-WHERE! You couldn't look anywhere without seeing the Bat Logo in some incarnation.

My rating of the 2021 "Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One" from director Chris Palmer lands on a mere three out of ten stars. This was by no means a memorable or impressive foray into the streets of Gotham, much less a particularly outstanding animated Batman movie. And it was predictable to the point where you could drift off for a short sleep, wake up and still be up to speed with the events. While the art style and the animation in "Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One" was pretty good, the animated movie was lacking majorly in terms of a properly written storyline and script, so it felt like a very shallow experience sitting through this one. ![]() ![]() Essentially then "Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One" was just one massive brawl with very little in terms of a proper storyline. I am not overly keen on superheroes, but still as I hadn't already seen this 2021 animated movie and had the chance, and my son wanting to see it, of course I sat down to watch it.Īnd "Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One" turned out to be just another generic run-of-the-mill animated Batman movies, where the Caped Crusader takes on one villain after another.
