Batman

Pros: Entertaining, enjoyable movie. Jack Nicholson.
Cons: Not enough information on some aspects of Batman. Over the top in few spots.

In 1989, Tim Burton’s Batman was released. I remember the movie receiving a lot of publicity and making a lot of money. For some reason, I wasn’t interested in seeing the movie then. I’m not sure why since I had enjoyed the ...

Pros: Dracula-like score by Danny Elfman; Keaton and Nicholson's performances
Cons: Uneven script, too over-the-top, garish Gotham City

In the summer of 1989, Warner Bros. released one of its biggest hits ever -- the much-anticipated Batman feature film, directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, and Kim Basinger. Coming in a summer of sequels -- 1989 ...

Pros: Brought back a serious, dark tone...
Cons: ... however, dark tone went too surreal

1989 was the Year of the Bat. After missing the boat with Superman's 50th anniversary in 1988, Warner Bros. and DC Comics made sure that wouldn't happen for Batman's 50th anniversary in 1989. So what was the biggest and best way to get ...

Pros: Tim Burton's vision, Keaton and Nicholson's performances, the Return of Superhero Movies
Cons: Established a few problems which would multiply in Bat-sequels

That's what I remember thinking back in 1989. I didn't have anything AGAINST Keaton, but he was no Batman. That's like...ME playing Batman! I mean, I did it all the time, but just in my own head, and not in front of millions of people. And Jack...

Pros: Interesting characters, good acting, cool gadgets, Jack Nicholson as Joker
Cons: Some cheesy scenes

Although Batman is a cultural phenomenon, I have never seen any of the films until last night. It’s not surprising I didn’t see the film when it first came out, seeing as I was only seven. However, it is somewhat amazing that I have dodged not ...

Pros: The acting is above average, it started the Batman Franchise well enough
Cons: A little too over-the-top in some places, Not enough action to keep things interesting

It's funny how little things can affect how much you like a certain movie or any other mediums of entertainment. For example viewers who have never seen a Hollywood depiction of the DC Comic character Batman, wanting to view the entire Batman saga could ...

Pros: story, acting by the main characters, sets, special effects
Cons: no extras on the DVD

When Tim Burton took on the Director’s job for the 1989 version of Batman, fans knew they were in for something much different than the campy, cartoonish television show. Burton had a reputation for seeing the dark side of things, and ...

Pros: great casting, dark like it needed to be, Nicholson, Keaton, Basinger, great score
Cons: re-writing of back story

With 1989's release of Batman, the whole comic book genre of films was re-written, and the road was paved for everything that would come after it. Not only that, but taking in over $200 million in the box office showed that people were willing to come ...

Pros: great acting and score, dark atmosphere, lots of DVD extras
Cons: weak songs by "Prince" or whatever he is these days

Batman to this day remains one of my favorite super hero to screen adaptations. Part of that comes from the comics being among my favorites. I’ve been fascinated with Batman for a long time even to the point of writing a highly praised college term ...

Pros: Burton's direction, darker tone, Jack Nicholson as The Joker
Cons: Batman moves like a pigeon, unrealistic henchmen

Bat-mania is back, thanks to Nolan's B atman Begins and the upcoming T he Dark Knight. It revived interest in the past Batman movies - or at least maybe it's just me. I rewatched all ...

Pros: Lovin Keaton & Nicholson
Cons: .........

Since I have touted this epic in a couple of my reviews, I decided I probably better give it its' equal time. Remade and remade over the years, TV shows, comic books, cartoons - action figures, costumes, videos - and so on and so forth Batman...

Pros: superb visuals, arresting viewing....etc
Cons: Batman isn't quite insane enough

Of course, everyone knows the story of this film. The action takes place in Gotham City- a crime infested sess pool of seemingly perpetual night. For too long the people of Gotham have been terrorised by the thugs, gangs, muggers and gangsters who rule ...

Pros: Showed how visually innovative a comic book film could be.
Cons: Occasionally over the top.

That little 'sister' of mine, Doreen Lester Scrawcrunch, is becoming more and more irritating. On my breakfast tray, instead of my usual fresh squeezed orange juice, Starbuck's cappucino, and selection of fresh fruits and breads, there was a mess of...

Pros: Great Action, Fun to watch over and over, awesome cast, A fun movie to watch even the 10th time
Cons: No other "Bad Guy" to team up with the joker

The original Batman of the latest Batman series was just titled Batman. When this movie hit the theatures people flocked to see this like many other new hit movies of the past. Batman was called The movie of the decade, and also given 4...

Pros: well directed, set design, engaging, acting
Cons: fight scenes

Hello again everyone. Having just wrapped up the Stinky Movie Write-Off I have been just dying to post a review on a good film. I decided to post one on a film that I touted in my Stinky Movie review of the abysmal flop Batman & ...
