I also did not care for Batman Returns. I almost walked out of that in the theater. I came *this* close to walking out when Wayne did the wiki-wiki disc scratch thing during Penguin's press conference. I was SO disappointed. I never loved the first one (just thought it was okay), and I thought Returns looked better. Boy was I wrong! I had seen the scene of Wayne and Pfeifer dancing and realizing who each were in a preview, and thought it looked really compelling and more in line with how I saw comic book stories with fully realized characters. But nope. Even that great scene didn't have the impact I thought it would because everything else that came before and after was dopey.
Batman: Assault on Arkham 9/10
Fun movie, super adult geared, just the Killer Frost and Harley scenes will mess some people.
Love the film, it's a great one, and only my second on the DC animated front. Gonna try Son of Batman next.
The Human Centipede 1 & 2:
I really don't see how I could REVIEW this, let alone give it a score. Definitely different that what I was expecting.
I'm a very open minded person but hell, this is something else. Human torture at its most grotesque. I don't know if I could watch them again, but I just had to at least once.
And there's a # 3 in the works? Jesus. (I'm seeing it).
Batman Returns = Horrible Batman Movie
Batman Returns = Great Tim Burton Movie
Batman & Robin = Horrible Batman Movie
Batman & Robin = Horrible movie all around
That said, Batman Forever is my favorite of the original bunch of flicks. Batman '89 hasn't aged well for me. It was my favorite movie as a kid and introduced me to the character, but B:TAS and the Nolanverse are my preference for the character. I will watch B89 once a year with BR and BF but sometimes it has felt like a chore to get through.
Yea I pretty much agree with everything you said, the script is just downright laughable. I still enjoy both movies due to nostalgia but even the most hardcore fan can see BR flaws. Pfeifer was the awesome though, but almost everything about her character didn't make sense.
This is probably my favorite of the new animated films WB has been releasing. I'm hoping the Suicide Squad movie is heavily inspired by this.
The Dark Knight Returns part 1 - 10/10
The Dark Knight Returns part 2- 9/10
I thought part one was a little better.
I actually did mention quite a few negatives.Sounds like a porn spoof...
Anything higher than 4 is a crime against humanity!![]()
The best Batman movie released that year.
Had an amazing soundtrack too.
