Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
undeaddt Maybe I will go a bit to far, but this movie, for me, is even better than it's predecessor. Yes, in the first movie Jack Nicholson's Joker is outstanding, his role is beyond great, he is the icon of the movie, but still, nothing is darker than this sequel. Here we have more than one main bad guy, we have The Penguin, The Catwoman and also Shrek, the businessman. The Penguin played by Danny DeVito is something else, it is beyond good, it is something that can never be replayed. The costume work done both for The Penguin and The Catwoman is pure art. What can I say about the Catwoman played by Michelle Pfeifer ? The best female semi anti-hero ever played on the movie screens ? She does everything in this movie with a feeling of crazyness, power and emotion, all three at the same time. There is nothing do discuss about Michael Keaton as Batman, he has already proven himself in the first movie, altho he is even better and a more complete character in this sequel. Also the city is once again beautiful, dark, gothic, cold and full with criminals, one of the most beautiful aspects of the movie. 8/10
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Batman Returns (1992)' is worse than its predecessor solely for its lack of Jack Nicholson's 'Joker', who was perhaps the only part of the first flick that provided any actual interest or entertainment. His presence is keenly missed as the replacement villain simply spews saliva and waxes lyrical about his penguin parentage and other misfortune, a weirdly wishy-washy waste of an iconic villain who's usually dapper exterior would've fit much better with the 'running for major' plot he's placed into here. It's also actually this film that starts to take the nose-dive into camp curiosity, something furthered exponentially by its neon-infused follow-up 'Batman Forever', as there are just too many oddly out-of-touch elements to cohesively gel with the originally Gothic yet relatively grounded take that this universe prided itself on, elements not just limited to the bile-brewing buzzard as you'd expect. The piece is still just as dull as before, but sadly also lacks the interesting punch of its clown prince of crime. 5/10
morganstephens512 I say that this film probably had the best depictions of death out of all the Batman movies, especially with all of catgirls deaths and the guy trying to take over the city. DeVito does a excellent job playing the penguin and he is probably the best villain in the series. However the dialogue is beyond painful and the performance from Keaton while great in the first film was not really all that good at all in the second one and honestly felt like he did not care at all. The action and effects also do not hold up at all. That being said, compared to its two sequels, this was a masterpiece of all cinema.
Minahzur Rahman During the 90s, this was my favourite Batman film. Not only because the film was very good, but also it included the Penguin who is one of my favourite Batman villains, and obviously one of the most popular Batman villains in the Batman franchise. I know it's the sequel to Batman, but when I was a child, I thought it was the first of the Batman movies, but obviously I was wrong. Batman – we all know is a superhero, and this is a superhero movie, but you have to admit just how dark this movie actually was, and that's what makes this film unique (along with Batman) compared to any other Batman film. Penguin and Catwoman were awesome as villains – the outfits for those characters was amazing. Danny DeVito was perfect as Penguin, and did a splendid role at that too. If there are any future Batman films then I hope they never introduce the Penguin again because it will never topple the Penguin of this Batman. I hope this film stays unique for what it already is. Like I said earlier, the film is dark, probably more dark than Batman, and if you're into dark superhero films then look no further than Batman Returns – really!! On a side-note, if there was a third movie (with Tim Burton being the director of course) for sure, it would've been a great trilogy, and actually better than the Dark Knight trilogy. A third movie would've actually went well even if it may not have been good as Batman or Batman Returns. The villain I probably would've wanted to see there was the "Riddler".
