Underrated sequel that doesn't deserve some of the backlash

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2019)

As someone who is huge fan of Batman, I must say this movie really doesn't deserve some of the backlash it has gotten over the years. It's by no means a perfect movie (and admittedly it does pale in comparison to the previous movie), but it is definitely not a bad movie. My only major problem with this movie is some elements of the story. The writing is pretty flawed and some parts of the story need better explanations. But overall everything else about this movie is great and still holds up. The visuals and art designs in this movie are great and the music is amazing. The movie is also more action packed and fun than the first one. The cast also does a really great job in their roles and are arguably the best thing about the movie. Michael Keaton plays a great mysterious Batman, Michelle Peiffer plays a great sexy Catwoman, and Danny Devito was a perfect casting choice for the Penguin. Both Catwoman and The Penguin are great scary and tragic villains with personality and Batman is badass in this movie. The movie also has lots of memorable moments that keep you entertained and is overall the most dark and mature Batman movie we have ever seen. People complain about the movie being dark but it's a Batman movie. What did they expect? He's supposed to be dark. Overall, definitely an underrated sequel.
