Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)
One of DC's worst blunders.
This movie is awful. As a stand alone movie, it's weak and ineffective. As an adaptation, it's a travesty.
What should be a deep, poignant movie that reflects on the nature of good and evil, why we become what we become, whether free will exists and other fascinating themes, becomes a lame action movie full of fan service, bad writing, bad characterization and terrible pacing.
This movie is doomed by a complete misunderstanding of what made the comic great, a bad writer and total lack of respect for its characters (especially Barbara Gordon).
Everything great about the comic was done poorly or taken out. And all the additions are awful.
A fan of the comic will hate it and a newcomer will just wonder why the hell the comic is considered a masterpiece, if this is the story people raved about for 30 years.
Animation is decent and voice acting is good, so I gave it a 4/10 out of respect for those things.
But this one of the worst things ever produced by DC.
Rick and Morty (2013)
Simply put, one of the best TV shows ever made.
Here we have an absolute rarity: a TV show with no bad episodes. Even the weaker episodes are still a solid 7.
The show manages to balance comedy, drama, social commentary, harshness and tenderness in a way that few shows manage to. It is also refreshing to watch a show that manages to write episodes that can stand alone but still add up to a bigger picture if you're attentive.
I am not the kind of person who usually binge watches shows, but I watched season one in the course of an afternoon and season two in two days.
If you haven't seen it, watch it. You won't regret it.
