- Very brilliant
I must say I certainly did enjoy this Batman animated film as much as I enjoyed Mask of the Phantasm. Like the usual Batman the Animated Series, it has emotion, thrills, drama and action/adventure. This time Batman and Robin are up against the cold-hearted Mr.Freeze.

The story goes as Mr.Freeze who is desperately trying to save his wife Nora who is fatally ill. He heads to Gotham City to search for a cure with his assistance Gregory Belson, a top-level Cryogeneiticist at the Wayne Company. They figure out that to save Nora, they need an organ donor similar to her blood type which is uncommon. Unfortunately they find out that Babara Gordon alias Batgirl matches her type. They kidnap Batgirl and take her to their hideout.

Batman and Robin search for clues to lead them to Mr.Freeze and to resuce Babara Gordon before they kill her for the operation. This won't be too easy as Mr.Freeze is one of Batman's most deadliest foes.

This is probably one of the few greatest direct-to-DVD films. The animation and music in this film is spectacular.The animation this time included Computer Generated Images (CGI) for most of the vehicle scenes. Most of the time it was evident that the footage had become CGI and not traditional animation, but it was worth it. The Batwing sequence was amazing and was better than the Batwing sequences in Batman and Batman Forever. As for the rest of the animation, it was not up to par at first, but the costumed characters (Batman, Robin, Freeze) were extremely well done in the second half of the film.

Even for an hour long film, this is well worth the cash to purchase and add to your collection. If you haven't already seen it, rent it or buy it today. You will not be sorry.

- Literally cool Batman animated feature
The only complaint I have with this movie is it's too short and it also needs more action. A superb animated feature nonetheless.

- The least of all of the Batman animated features.
I haven't seen this one in a very long time and now I reminded myself why. This felt more like a really long episode than a movie. The story was pretty good but the plot was very simple. It focused too much on cat & mouse between Freeze and Barbara Gordon. There wasn't enough Batman. And Robin was focused on too much. That's really bad since Robin isn't that interesting of a character to begin with. They do a real good job on Mr. Freeze's character as usual. He is a very easy villian to feel for simply because he didn't choose his fate. He also can be very ruthless when he has to be.

They digitized the animation a bit at some times. Even though I'm not a fan of that. It didn't feel out of place to me and I have no complaints about the animation or music score.

This isn't a bad Batman movie to me just average. But it's nothing when compared to Mask of the Phantasm or Return of the Joker. I even like Mystery of the Batwoman a whole lot more concerning action. I feel this movie is more for completion sake.

- Just what I was looking for
I bought this fort my cousin. She's so hard to shop for. Her husband told me to buy this movie so I did. She loves it.

- Pretty Good
Not amazing, and the animation style is rather different from the other Batman: The Animated Series stuff, but the plot is rather consistent and it's a pretty good story. I liked it.
