Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of 'The Dark Knight' Audience Reviews

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
belezaemferro I never liked Batman, but this documentary awakened me, I never thought that Batman had a story so well prepared, with principles and moral and psychological grounds, there is nothing "pseudo" there, people need to be motivated somehow, even that your goal seems the most insane possible, never thought batman was so great emotional detail. Always looked for Batman as a character ridiculous clothes, never I saw no possibility of message, the film Bale left me curious to investigate whether everything was plausible or so was another good archetype of hero only built for the movie, but finds that Batman created, deployed a so his philosophy of life and how he lives, wrong or too radicalized or not, if you notice both the documentary Batman in 1985 as the History Channel this you will notice that in the end they all want to affirm: he used a Personal Drama to improve as a person as he thinks Feels.Uma that any person can make a difference, then this documentary, batman gained a new fan.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews Whilst I don't necessarily see how this belongs on the History Channel, I gotta say that I enjoyed this. It's a documentary, and the subject of it is what goes on in the head of Batman, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, his villains. This has clips of both of the new films, panels/covers(the highly dynamic and effective way they're used works impeccably well), but consists mainly of interviews, particularly with experts, educated people(and at least one of them, in addition to almost invariably being articulate and presenting his points well, is quite clearly a fan, and, I would say it's possible that he's not even embarrassed by it), as well as Nolan and Bale. This goes beyond the movies that the latter two have been involved in(and, in general, isn't really limited to the silver screen versions), as far as the "rogue's gallery" goes, meaning, they go over foes not seen in the theatrical releases since Burton's entries, and the first of Schumacher's(I think the entire world is trying to forget he did more than one). I personally found it all immensely engaging and interesting, and I suspect that there is a great chance that others who care for delving into the mind(in all its intricacy) and perhaps also the well-known and long-lasting character and symbol would agree. This is a rather thorough and credible psychological examination. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to watch such. 8/10
guringo I never thought I'd critique a TV show, but... having a bunch of paperback quacks, a forensic consultant and a rabbi for crying out loud (author of 'Wisdom of the Batcave' - I kid you not - and the forthcoming 'Popeye; the Spinoza of Spinach') all parading their 2-bit pseudo-psycho-evaluation, while doing their best to circumvent that irksome little fact that we're talking about a friggin' 1939 comic book superhero, resurrected every so often as a movie character for nothing more than Hollywood payola (aarrgghhh!!)..So yeah, it had me seething at the hifalutin posturing, the psycho-babble ranting and the conceited effort to pass this off as something more than an Access Hollywood reject.Shame on the History Channel for hosting such an asinine, superfluous, steaming pile of.. bio-spoofing-mockumentary. Clearly a sign of the end of times.Nice imagery tho'...-G
