The Frankenstein Syndrome/ Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Group of scientist's decide to use illegal stem-cell research to bring back the dead, only for a few of there experiments to go horribly wrong.

That has to be the shortest plot I've said yet. Wow.


This film wasn't all that bad, just wasn't that great. Acting was fairly decent, just not good, the effects were "ok". The plot was actually good though, putting a new twist on a very old classic. I give, The Frankenstein Syndrome. 5/10.




Dr. Jekyll is a well known doctor, after going over sea's to an island, he takes a plant sample with him to use on himself to experiment with, after it goes wrong, he becomes two people, the other being, Mr. Hyde. When murders start happening he starts having flash backs and learns that he is the one responsible, and is working around the clock to isolate the compound and create a cure before he does more murders. 

Another old classic putting a new spin on things, Acting was actually fairly good, with only a few weird moments. The plot was very well done, with actors you might know. I found that this was actually a made for TV film, which explained why some of the transitions were like TV. I watched both films on demand. 
 I give, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 6/10

Batman: Under the Red Hood

Batman is on the run to, Robin when the Joker has him tied up and beaten, and has pulled the timer to the bombs, Batman fails to make it in time, causing, Robin to die. Few months pass, Batman still doing his crime fighting, when a new enemy appears, calling himself, Red Hood. Red Hood is trying to take over all the crime in Gotham City, which seemed to work. Batman's first sidekick, Nightwing comes to help aid Batman when Amazo tries to kill him, only to learn that, Amazo was sent to, Red Hood. After learning of Red Hoods true self, Red Hood gets in a fight counting on Batman coming. Batman confronts Red Hood, but being Red Hood, he escapes and captures the Joker, forcing Batman to make a choice, him, or the Joker.


This was a pretty entertaining animated film. This is really the first animated Batman film I've seen, I have watched the animated series when I was younger, but that was it.

Voice acting was pretty good as well. Bruce Greenwood provided the voice of, Batman and played it pretty good. Jensen Ackles played, Red Hood, who also was pretty good. Others were, John DiMaggio as the Joker, Neil Patrick Harris as, Nightwing.

Animation was I guess standard looking, but, pretty good looking. This was alittle dark, seemed there was a lot of, blood and violence for an animated film, but made it good, and darker.

The few twists and turns that were in it made it entertaining to watch. Only thing I wished was better was, a longer run time. Was only 1hr 15mins. Which isn't bad, but I could see it being, 1hr 45mins, having more story and, what ever they wanted to put in it. But, not bad.

I give, Batman: Under the Red Hood. 7/10

 *edit* I won't be adding two more animated film reviews, only the 3 live action films. 

Batman and Robin

Mr. Freeze and his thugs have frozen a jewelry store in the hopes of find a really big diamond. Batman and Robin storm in and stir it up, only to for Robin to get frozen and have, Mr. Freeze and his thugs escape with the diamond. Not long later, Alfred has a niece, Barbara Wilson. Who came over to free Alfred from being a butler. Only to find that Alfred has a rare disease and he's slowly dieing. Dr. Pamela Isley was working in her lab, when she walked into a room that she wasn't meant to go in, and saw something she shouldn't of. After, Dr. Jason Woodrue talks to Pamela he just, kills her, cause he doesn't want the secret getting out. Just a day or so later, all the chemicals that were dumped on Pamela turned her into, Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy and, Bane become a team to take down, Batman and Robin, only to team up with, Mr. Freeze. Alfred leaves behind a disc for his Brothers eyes only, but, Barbara being nosey hacks into the disc and learns of who Batman and Robin is, and very soon later, she becomes, Batgirl. She proves that she knows how to fight, and now, Batman, Robin and Batgirl all team up to take down, Mr.Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane. While trying to convince Mr. Freeze to help him in finding the cure to save, Alfred.


This was the 2nd worse Batman film, of all time. The soundtrack wasn't that bad, but, The only song I liked was the very intro song, which was the same for the last one to, more of a failed soundtrack. For some reason, like the last film, the thugs looked that they needed to rave, glow in the dark paints, and black light effects make the thugs look like crap.

The story wasn't all that bad ( no it was). But, we did get to see, Bane, which was just, outrageous if you ask me, and he for some reason could only say a few words. My favorite to watch on screen was, Poison Ivy played by, Uma Thurman who played it pretty good, and kinda, demented, in a hot way. Arnold Schwarzenegger played, Mr. Freeze and well, it could of been worse, but it could of been alot better.

Chris O'Donnell comes back to reprise his role as, Robin, and a new custom. Robin's custom is really the only cool one. Sadly, George Clooney decides to try to be Batman, and well, just fails.

Again like the previous film, the effects are way over the top, and made Gotham City out to be this HUGE city, that only looks unreal. I think they could of easily of found a better director with this film, and the previous one.

I give, Batman and Robin. 3/10
