I meant on here, and probably should be disliked for better reasons honestly, such as not being that comic accurate and not being the 'definitive Batman' that people should know. And I know 89 and Returns were acclaimed for their time, but that acclaim doesn't really hold up now, compared to say, the acclaim of Christopher Reeve's Superman movies which are still really beloved (not counting how mixed people are on MOS and how it could make them appreciate Reeve more, since I feel it is unfair) but I don't think that wholly applies to Burton's films; to an extent yes. I was born around the time of Returns but I saw it and 89 and thought they were good, I appreciate them more now that I'm older of course, same with Reeve's films.ill respectfully disagree. TDK Trilogy is universally loved worldwide, far more people love it, than dislike it. we are talking close to 90/10%. A few freaks boardies or people on other internet boards just tend to keep posting over and over they dont like it are in the vast minority, especially with TDKRises. That movie was a HUGE SUCCESS critically and financially. There is a little bit of misconception on Freaks about this mainly because same people who dislike it, as i said, keep posting their dislike about it. Its also known in the mainstream that TDK Trilogy is probably considered the best Trilogy only behind Star Wars. I mean Star Wars is bigger than anything probably thats ever been made in the history of cinema. So to be #2 behind Star Wars is a HUGE deal!!
the first 2 Burton films were universally loved at the time. 89 & Returns got a lot of critical acclaim at the time and were financial successes, but Forever got mixed reviews but it did well at the box office. Then slowly the rest just got worse. its also 25 years ago, how many people on here werent even born then to know that those 2 films were really big at the time.
@ Pixelpiper: I will highly agree, Burton has a weird track record. I think for the most part, the consensus on pre-Nolan Batman films is that the films sort of steadily declined, though with Returns I don't think it's as noticeable. And I also semi-agree on the X-Men films, I don't think the first two suck but X3, and Origins are bad. First Class was a nice take and DOPF is very good.
