It's not a 10 like so many robo-reviews would lead you to believe.
No movie is a 10, not even Goodfellas (and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Goodfellas). I would watch Goodfellas over and over again, but it's still not a 10.
My rating 5 or 6. (well made, marginally entertaining)
Marketing; I had to see this movie alone since the marketing machine behind the movie ('this movie might insight violence in the streets') - good job at keeping the wife away.
Jacqueline Phoenis; I liked him better in Clay Pigeons, but he did a good job here (not Oscar worthy, but a good job). His dancing was cool/weird too - just not cool/weird enough to watch again. Oh, so the movie was a decent character study, sort of like a family drama. I'm nod sure of the 'era' 30's, 70's (it had a bid of both, after all Bruce Wayne was still a child in this one). Still not sure what to make of it.
DON'T believe the hype. Would I ever watch this movie movie again: short answer, NO; long answer NO. Was it terrible no, was it watchable, as a family drama: barely.
I recommended this to my friend, he's into family dramas.

I tried, I really tried to watch this show. I purchased the entire series (thankfully at a substantial discount), but I was unable to watch more than 15 minutes of the show.
Oh, the 1 star rating is only because I COULDN'T continue to watch. (As others have mentioned, it is probably a BRILLIANT show), BUT.....
It was EXTREMELY disappointing to me because it seemed that the show was very well written (at least the first 15 minutes was), BUT, as mentioned by others I couldn't continue to watch due to the UNNECESSARY INCESSANT use of shaky cam. I started to feel nauseous at the 15-minute mark. I'm generally not queasy, but this was too much for me. I thought it would have stopped after about 5 minutes, but alas, my hopes were dashed (and apparently, according to other reviewers, it NEVER ends)
I think there should be a behind-the-scenes show about what the hell was going on with the people holding the cameras. Were they disabled, drunk, highly medicated, or challenged in some other way. I'm really, really interested, and it would be way-too-cool if it were discovered that they were some sort of mentally challenged group who managed to film so many episodes. I really want to know, it seems at least that they didn't let the viewing angles go to ground as I have done on so many late Saturday nights in my attempts to film something.
The fact that this group of filmmakers completed so many episodes of an apparently well written show should compel some producers to offer them more projects with the caveat that they include TRIPODS or other camera MOUNTS in their budget to really harness their perspective on the subject matter.
HUGELY DISSAPPOINTED (but hoping for the behind-the-scenes series)
Someone suggested the use of Dramamine to prevent motion sickness prior to viewing this series. I'm not big on medication, but if I ever do run out of everything else in the world to watch, I might consider it.
