I like a lot of what was done with this film.
The silent film direction seemed to be used
to good effect, the simplified, but effective
depictions of the characters made for
pleasant surprises almost throughout, and in
general the execution felt solid. The reason I'm giving this a 3 though,
instead of a 4 for a good effort, is that I
was also pretty confused throughout. After
reading a couple reviews, I'm starting to get
that the point seems to have been a daydream
of becoming batman, but the ending left me
feeling just as confused as I had been the
rest of the film. Perhaps it's just because
I've never had that dream personally - which
is odd since I'm such a huge fan - but while
watching, I just didn't get it. Maybe you
could've added something in to make it a
little more clear what had just taken place -
or then again, maybe the audience you created
this for doesn't include me. In any case, it
held my interest and I'm glad you shared your
work, particularly for those who did get it.
