GoodI like the movie although the movie is 95% based on Gordon and how he discovered Batman and became so notable within the GCPD.Score: 3/5
More like Gordon: Year OneBut if you are tired of all the adaptations of Batman's origin, especially now that we've seen it twice on the big screen in less than 10 years... this is the definitive adaptation of his origin. If you are interested in that, here it is. It's faithful to the book... the only thing... the voice actors seem like they all took a sedative before recording..Score: 4/5
Accurate, But AwfulWhile this movie seemed to be accurate to the graphic novel Batman: Year One, I must confess - I hated it. Just like the comic, I hated the storyline. What is it with people writing characters to be unethical? Gordon having an affair with a business partner? Come on! What's up with that? Besides that, Batman was pathetic in this film. Nothing felt awesome about him in this one. Very unsympathetic characterization. It was awful..Score: 1/5

It feels like todays realityGreat movie i cant wait for the next one. i really like the realness to this one . the only thing i wish they would do is keep the original batman actors voice. i feel what dc is trying to do ,but somethings are better left the same. i think many of you will like the fights scenes because, in real life theres only so many people batman can fight . like he might take on two three maybe four cops ,but in reality more than that is just too much. he even gets shot and everything.just watch the movie so you can see what im talking about . love it another masterpiece by dc.Score: 5/5

Batman: Year One"Batman: Year One" is the first Batman graphic novel I read. This story has always had a special place in my collection because it made me love Batman. The graphic novel is raw and gritty. It blatantly shows the decrepit city of Gotham and the corrupt politicians and mobsters running it. I feel like this animated movie stayed true to the book the best it could without becoming a rated "R" feature. I love the book and I love the movie. It brought to life the story I have read over and over..Score: 5/5
Not bad, but not what it could've been...The animation is gorgeous and dark. You learn a lot about the characters and appreciate their back stories. Obviously a lot of work was put into this piece. However, it wasn't terribly climatic and it left me feeling a little empty after watching it. Not bad at all, but not what it could've been..Score: 4/5
Boring, lifeless adaptation...Don't get me wrong I usually love the work of Bruce Timm, I loved the graphic novel version of this, and I love Batman…but this was just boring. I paid $4.99 to watch this on Apple TV and I feel like I got ripped off, I almost just turned it off before it was over. I can't figure out why…it just wasn't good..Score: 2/5

Carbon CopyThis latest DC animated film installment doesn't disappoint for fans of Batman: Year One. Every scene is lifted straight from the comic book, put into motion, and given a resonating sound. Its visual style envokes the tone of the source material and injects its own unique vibe that compliments the inspiring art from the comic book. The standout voice talent would definitely go to Bryan Cranston as the righteous Lt. James Gordon. Fans of Batman The Animated Series will miss the voice acting of Kevin Conroy. However, Benjamin Mackenzie, I found to be interesting in this part as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The youth in his voice serves to remind the audience that this is Batman/Bruce Wayne in his youth. Mackenzie's scenes as Bruce Wayne were good, because he sounded pretencious, lacking any depth. This is a good thing when portraying Bruce Wayne. Though, as Batman, Mackenzie fails to bring the graveness in his voice that Kevin Conroy made famous. Overall, the voice acting was good but lacked an organic quality; the acting seemed too wooden. Mackenzie was especially wooden in his performance. As much as I liked the comic books moody and dark imagery, this animated version of the story brings it to life. Though, I think more could have been done to make this movie "pop". The action scenes in this feature were very well done, adding a new dimension to the scenes from the comic book. In fact, the animation style in general works really well with this story. You can tell that a lot of thought was put into the look of the movie. The direction is very good, but tends to fall short in pacing. Some scenes, in my opinion, should have been paced slower; the movie seems rushed in parts. This movie, just as the comic book depicts, is just as much about Batman as it is about Jim Gordon. As it should be. Batman could not operate without Jim Gordon and Jim Gordon could not clean up the police department without Batman. Their relationship is symbiotic and rooted in a place of genuine caring for their fellow man. They are both willing to make great sacrifices in their lives to build a better tomorrow. Despite their flaws, they both recognize the good in eachother and respects the other's sense of duty and morality. Most viewers who have enjoyed DC's animated movies will find this a satisfying adaptation. Batman Year One will inevitably be compared to Batman: Under The Red Hood. Under The Red Hood is the better film, but Year One is undoubtedly a film you shouldn't miss if you're a Batman fan..Score: 4/5
For true comic fansI loved this adaption, it is exact;y like year one comic line ( I still have the 4 books sealed in bags). This movie is a must watch for true comic Batman fans, and it will open up the story better for others. Cant wait till year 2 comes out.. hopefully.Score: 5/5
Read the comic insteadI had high hopes for this film adaptation. They were all dashed upon seeing the first 10 minutes. Go ready the comic. I don't know what the creators of the animation were thinking, but it ain't at all like the comic! Come on dudes. What are they paying you the big bucks for???.Score: 2/5
