Better Than the First One

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2005)

I have always thought that "Batman Returns" was better than the first "Batman" movie. It may be because there are two villains this time, but I think that there's more to it than just that. They do still have Michael Keaton, who happens to be the best Batman compared to Val Kilmer and George Clooney. I thought that this was perfectly cast. Danny DeVito is great at portraying a dark side of the penguin character. The reason I love Tim Burton for directing these movies is he is showing a dark side of the Batman series, and of the villains. Michelle Pfeiffer is great at playing two roles as a stressed business woman and a feline-fanatic villain. The story of this movie was definitely well written. I almost forgot to mention Christopher Walken. Even though he isn't exactly considered to be a villain in this movie, he does a good job at acting as a somewhat psychotic businessman.
Altogether, this has great actors, a great story, and Tim Burton tried something new for this movie, and made it great.
