The Death of Batman (2003)
Watch at your own peril
The Death of Batman
As I am not a fan of Batman I guess it made it easier for me to watch so maybe I can give a more neutral perspective. If I were a fan then this would be insulting, I would hate to see a movie where one of my favourite movie characters gets his balls tasered, gets raped and forced to take heroin.
The extra's performed far better than Trip Hope, who would be better named Trip Hopeless. His performance was terrible, he said his lines like a child soap actor and his facial expressions were wrong. Christopher Stapleton's performance however, was decent; he did well with what was obviously a bad script.
During the scene in which the thief finds the taser, it was badly shot but also he did not need to voice his thoughts, just seeing him pick up the taser and take the stuff would have been enough. It just made the movie seem ever more cheesy.
The fight scene was acted out well by Stapleton, the contrast between both actors experience shows greatly, but it was ruined by the taser scene. Who gets tasered yet can still move their arms and legs? You would instantly fall to the ground. Obviously the director had no knowledge or this, or he chose to ignore it.
Throughout the movie there are cheesy lines, bad acting from Trip Hope and the cameraman just could not keep still. At the scene where the thief shoots himself, for some reason his corpse has a smile on its face and the effects
well there were no effects, just a gunshot.
The only reason it doesn't get one star is because of Christoper Stapleton's decent performance.
