A good sequel to a great movie.

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 1999)

Batman Returns is probably the best sequel to a comic book/action movie. Tim Burton once again captures the audience, now having Batman have to fight off two villains, instead of one. The Penguin is a great villain, and Danny DeVitto really delivers, yet not as much as Jack Nicholson in the original, and Michelle Pfeiffer did a phenomenal performance as Selina Kyle, a secretary who goes crazy and becomes the Catwoman. Burton's vision of Gotham City succeeds once again at making the audience believe it is a quirky, crime infested town. Though some scenes are cheesy, such as the fact that Catwoman instantly learns how to fight better than Batman himself, you still are captured in the feeling that this movie, like the original, is not a movie just to entertain kids with their favorite good guys, like how Joel Shumacher's vision did. The stunts and special effects in this movie are also great, so you do get some visual excitement, too. I also like the fact that Bruce Wayne falls in love with a villain. All in all, this was the last good Batman movie.
