User Reviews

Best superhero movie I've seen since The Dark Knight Returns.

Finally, after two grueling years... another superhero movie done RIGHT. Who'd have thought that animators would be carrying the torch instead of live-action-movie-makers. For my money, AOA is miles better than the schlock that the movie industry is busy feeding the public lately. Jay Oliva is quickly becoming one of my very fave directors.

This has excellent action, but you know what the best part is? It's HILARIOUS. You'd think Joss Whedon had some input - the dialogues are hugely funny. I laughed maybe 20 times or so, I mean, this is HELLA funny. Only unlike a Joss Whedon movie like The Avengers, Assault on Arkham is brutally violent, and generally adult-content. This has multiple stabbings, serial-killer crime scenes, sex - the woiks. Ah, it was so nice to watch something like this. Really, it's a relief. After repeated disappointments - and an undying love for the superhero genre

• this was a treat indeed.

Never played the game, Assault on Arkham, I mean. Just thought I should mention that. If there was some source material from there that was referenced here - I'm oblivious to it.

Not as perfect as The Dark Knight Returns, mind you - but still a wonderful picture. Yahtzee!
