Batman Returns

However, Burton once again bungles the climax, this time fatally so.....The chemistry between Keaton and Pfeiffer is full of spark, easily trumping the stagnant romance between Keaton and Kim Basinger in the prior film..... ... Full Review

Batman Returns remains an interesting, unique movie to watch, but it stumbles due to its bleak tone and lack of focus on the main character. With the first film such a massive success, Burton decided to make the follow-up even more dark, demented and twisted than its predecessor. ... Full Review

With the first film such a massive success, Burton decided to make the follow-up even more dark, demented and twisted than its predecessor. When Tim Burton's Batman was released in 1989, it was notable for being a much darker take on the character that had more in common with the comic books than the campy 1960s TV series. ...

No wonder some people felt burned by Batman Returns : Tim Burton just may have created the first blockbuster art film. Simply put, if Batman is intent on building the franchise, Batman Returns wants to shoot the T-shirt full of crazy little holes. ... Full Review
