Paul Sidhu's acting is worse than something you'd see in a high school play. Aside from the low budget direction, this movie looks like it could be a fun B movie action ride, but Paul Sidhu pulls you out of any kind of fun you have with his stiff line delivery and terrible on-screen awareness.

Batman: Year One
(2011 Video)
A sin to call this a Batman movie
14 October 2011
I signed up to IMDb to review this movie because I felt this strongly about it. This was no Batman movie. This was a collection of horrible plot lines and mish moshed writing sullying the Batman universe.
This should have been called Commission Gordon Year One. The movie barely even touches on Bruce Wayne/Batman. It ignores any kind of origins of the character and instead covers Commissioner Gordon's meteoric rise from a rookie cop to the Commissioner of Gotham police in 1 year.
Gordon isn't the worst character, but no one really wants to see a movie about him. The movie also creates beyond stupid plots for Gordon that only hurt how the character is viewed by fans. Gordon is an upstanding cop that someone like Batman trusts because of his integrity, honesty, etc.
SPOILER: This movie decides to have Gordon have an affair with a fellow cop... while his wife (who they decided to name Barbara) is pregnant.
Naming his wife Barbara is even more insulting, as if real fans wouldn't know that Barbara is supposed to be his daughter, and not his pregnant wife.
This movie is a waste of time. It does nothing but insult true fans of Batman, and is a serious black eye for WB Animation. I can't believe this story got green-lighted.

The Last Templar

NBC, you've given us crap once again...
28 January 2009
I don't know where to start... the first 2 parts have been a serious disappointment and I almost shudder at having to sit through another 2 horrendous parts to finish the story.
The first 10 minutes should have been a sign to simply turn it off. When I saw Mira Sorvino's character inexplicably take a large walking stick and jump on a horse to go after bad guys and then joust him with it, I should've known it was another one of NBC's horrible attempt to create worthwhile programming. I couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous it was. The even tried to go as far as comparing her to Indiana Jones as a joke... what an insult to Indy...
The dialogue sounds like it was written by a 2nd grader, and the acting is worse than a high school play...
Stop wasting our time with this crap, NBC... maybe you wouldn't have to keep pumping this stupid stuff out if you didn't cancel good shows like Journeyman or My Own Worst Enemy. All you have left is Heroes, and that can't compete with 24 or House... NBC's golden years died with the ending of Friends and Seinfeld. Don't bother to watch it for anything other than the news.
