ALL BATMAN MOVIES REVIEW PART 1 (english)

MOVIE CRITIC:
Ossu!!
Today I'll review 3 Batman Films,this is the 1st part of 3,next part'll be Batman & Robin + Batman Begins,I'll finish off with Batman 66 + The Dark Knight,well here it goes!!


Batman
Director:Tim Burton
Cast:Michael Keaton,Jack Nicholson,Kim Bassinger
Release Date:1989
Gross Renevue: $411,348,924
Available on:DVD

INFO:
The First of the modern Batman films has Batman fighting his nemesis;The

Joker,who previously killed his parents

CRITIQUE:
Well this was the first dark Batman film,a BIG departure from the campy

style of the 60s which is very welcomed.
In the directing chair we have Dark-Goth revisionist Tim Burton,and

Michael Keaton as Batman,this combination was just amazing.
Jack Nicholson plays The Joker,and It's great the 2nd best Joker ever.It's

so funny and demented that you'll feel sorry for laughing .
The script is good,the Hero-Villain relationship is the best developed of all

time.It goes like this: The joker killed Batman's parents.
If that doesn't make him his enemy ,then nothing will.
The Music by Danny Elfman is just GREAT.
My only complain about this movie is Kim Bassinger's character;Vicky

Vale,I think it's little bland and boring.
Overall a Pretty Damn Good Movie

PROS:
-Kickass Music
-Great Acting
-Great Script

CONS:
-Kim Bassinger

I give it: 9 Joker Dollars



Batman Returns
Director:Tim Burton
Cast:Michael Keaton,Danny De Vito,Michelle Pffeifer
Release Date:1992
Gross Renevue: $266,831,698
Available on:DVD

INFO:
Batman has to fight against The Penguin & Catwoman on Christmas

CRITIQUE:
The highly anticipated sequel to Batman,the interesting thing is that WB

gave FULL power to Burton which results in a much darker,violent and

stylish film than the previous one,but this turned out to be a two-edged

sword,why?? lets see why:
Well for starters,The Penguin's origins are somewhat different,in this movie

he is a deformed kid who joins a circus,it's OK but I prefer my

classy,nightclub-owning Penguin from the comics.
Catwoman also makes an appearance,she's ok,but a little overacted.
And we have a new villain called Max Shreck,played by Christopher

Walken ,he's kinda like Lex Luthor;a Corrupt Millionaire who only wants

power.
What I felt what made this movie WORSE than the previous one is that

Batman's marginalized in favor of the villains ,I didn't like that,the Good

thing is that this movie has a lot of action and A LOT of ass-kicking.
But there are 2 scenes that to me have always been out of context:
-When Catwoman becomes Catwoman
-When The penguin bites that poor guy's nose off.
Even after all that bashing you'd probably think I hate this movie but NO,I

like and I recommend it.


PROS:
-Lots Of action
-Stylish Dark Atmosphere

CONS:
-Those 2 scenes...ughh
-Batman's downplayed

I Give It: 8 Nose-bites


Batman Forever
Director:Joel Schumacher
Cast:Val Kilmer,Tommy Lee Jones,Jim Carrey
Release Date:1995
Gross Renevue: $336,531,112
Available on:DVD
INFO:
Batman has to fight Two-face and The Riddler,and also has to fight with

the idea of having a sidekick

CRITIQUE:
New Batman ,New Director,I already explained this in my Batman Actors

review,and I wont repeat so,lets get down to business.
I HATE this movie,In fact I saw it at the theatre OPENING day,I was excited

to see my 2nd fave villain (Two-face) on the silver screen but uhhh... It

turned out to be crap,the character's bland,boring and sucky.
The actor that steals the show is Jim Carrey as the Riddler,for the record I

have to say I'm his fan ,but in this movie he's just awful.
Chris O Donnell makes his 1st Batman appearance as Robin,he throws a

bad attitude at everything,Isn't Robin supposed to be helpful?? well this

Robin is as helpful as an ice cube on winter,HE SUCKS.
Nicole Kidman's also added in,but her acting is balls,not much to say.
It's Definitely a step-back and a return to the campy style of the 60s

series,but it doesn't go as far as it's sequel,Bad BAD movie

PROS:
-Jim Carrey's great in "Liar-Liar" and "Truman Show"

CONS:

-Nicole Kidman
-Kilmer's Batman sucks
-Robin Sucks
-Campy

I Give It: 3 Gay Movie Directors

Well that's it for today,next part should be out this week :D

Bye-Bye!!
