Batman travels to feudal Japan where he fights the Joker who became a feudal lord. If you're thinking, "Cool, surely that means there'll be Japanese castles turning into giant robots and Robin befriending a cute talking monkey," then boy is this is the movie for you.
I gotta admit, this didn't turn out to be anything like what I had imagined. I thought we'd get an Elseworlds set in feudal Japan, but instead what we got is an insane anime-style nonsensical action sequence in the style of mid-'80s Japanese animation. Ten-year-old me would have dug this immensely. Adult me had to struggle through some of the nonsense, but overall it was enjoyable for the hot mess it was.
Turns out the accused witch was really a witch... What a middling ending.
A disappointment after two strong episodes.
Overall, the weakest season of "Black Mirror" so far. "USS Callister" is awesome and "Hang the DJ" has its moments, but the rest is pretty forgettable. The last episode, "Black Museum," is just downright mean-spirited.
I know Black Mirror is all about grim futurism, but goddamn, that episode went hard at it. Too hard, in my opinion: instead of making us think about the perils and moral implications of technology, this episode was a weird horror vengeance porn with some really dark behavior that would never for one second be considered a good idea in the real world.
I mean, episodes like "White Christmas" had their existential horror, absolutely; but this just felt mean-spirited.
"USS Callister" was amazing and "Hang the DJ" was cute, but the rest of this season has been very disappointing.
I love the entire series, but this episode was just spectacular. I love this show.
Lovely episode. I wasn't sure about it throughout, but the ending redeemed it all.
Second season-four dud in a row for me. The story was clichéd and could have been told without the SF tech.
Familiar story that didn't need scifi to be told. The ending was dumb, unsatisfying and over the top.
