How do you make a movie with some of the best scenes with music you have heard and not be a musical? This is how. I was intrigued from beginning to end. The flow and vibe was something I haven't seen in some time. Michael B Jordan was brilliant. There was a clear distinction between the characters he played. The look, the dialogue, the music all hit just right and I have a feeling I will be wearing this movie out once I get it. Already downloaded the soundtrack and hope they expand it. I won't spoil anything but the authenticity of the time period feels so genuine and real. Don't hesitate and go see this. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I can't stand the whole "let's make our villain sympathetic" play that most shows/ movies do. This was a great character development of a ruthless, narcissistic, psychotic villain. By the end you realize he is insane. Brought a huge modern take on a very popular Batman nemesis. Let's face it, as the modern world has evolved, Penguin seemed like niche character of absurd villains. This series brought him back to be a contender to Batman. Also shows how he was able to get so many to follow him. Colin Ferrell killed it in his performance and I can't wait to see what he does in the future. Not shrugging off the other cast and characters. They were mesmerizing as well.

Not sure why it is given such negative reviews for the story. The story is what we been waiting for. Retelling it in a modern era is always a plus in my opinion. Really liked it. All the characters were really well done and the actors made you believe those characters. I think a lot of people assumed it was a modern telling. The setting is of the books timeframe. I just got an amazing UHD tv and it looks amazing. The director really played the shadows and colors well. I'm hoping to see more of this series be made. I recommend watching the original first. That way it will give you some perspective and get to know the characters first.
