Review of Batman Returns (1992) by Tor M — 29 Dec 2016
Weirder than the first film and it has gotten a huge face lift - effect-wise. It's a very similiar story. Some crooked villains doing bad stuff to Gotham, and Batman is on the case.
This time the most crooked guy is a Penguin-man. He is not as strong as The Joker when it comes to punchlines. He is not as good acted out eiter, but he is nastier and more repulsive. More serious in a way. The girl is important this time too, but Michelle Pfeiffer never nails it as Kim Basinger did. The Catwoman stuff is not a success for me.
So, a little weaker story, wackier but not better other than when it comes to effects.
OK entertainment, but it's going down hill with the elder Batman-series I'm afraid.
6 out of 10 CD-scratches.
