Average Batman sequel to the original 89th classic. Dark, violent fantasy that is set on Christmas Eve but still not better than it's predecessor.

Rating: 5/10 (26 September 2019)

Average Tim Burton's Batman sequel to the original 89th classic hit. It is not better than the original 89th Batman but a Hughe step down. I like this film I don't love it like I love the original. Batman Returns is a violent, comic book, dark fantasy set on a Christmas Eve. This movie get's a lot of hate but dosen't deserve it. Because it is diferent people doesn't like it? They bash this film and they don't appreciate it. I prefer 89 Batman, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins and Batman Forever over this film, but that is just me.
Michael Keaton, Michael Gough and Pat Hingle all reprise their roles from the first film. Danny Elfman still returned with his music score. The movie has action, fantasy and dark Gotham City world. Characters are kinda out of place. The Penguin and Catwoman are still portrayed by the comic books just Tim Burton made a twist in those 2 villians and he changed the facts.
Big + are for the positives: Batman is still in action, he fights off Catwoman which is good choreographed. But the stunts for Catwoman was not Michelle Pfeiffer but Kathy Long a kick-box champion did the stunts for the actress. Batman still fights off Penguin's henchmans. I like when Penquin kidnaps Ice Princess (Cristi Conaway) and he throws her off the roof with umbrella of bats those stunts and that sequence were excellent. The movie has good effects, good puppetry. Batmobil is still good designed and excellent. The make up for the Penquin took almost 2 hrs on Danny DeVito. I read he wasn't allowed for 4 hrs to go out of his trailer anywhere and talk to people. Good custums deigned for Catwoman. Good custum for Batman like in the first one this one was great custum designed.
Michael Keaton is still fabulous as Bruce Wayne / Batman his performance is charming and excellent. Love Keaton's performence. Michelle Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle / Catwoman: Is still good. Selena Kyle is portrayed by comic books. Watch Gotham I loved the first four seasons and Selena was portrayed by the actress Camren Bicondova and she portrayed Selena Kyle believable. Selena was really pushed out of window and cats really awekend her and she went on a revenge spree and she made a catwoman's custom her self. In Ghotham Selena was pushed by Bruce's clone and cats aweken her. In this movie she was pushed by Max Shreck (Christopher Walken). Selena was shot in end of Season 4 Gotham and in Season 5 she was looking for revenge like she was in this movie. Oswald Cobblepot (Danny DeVito) really was mayor in Gotham city, he was mayor in Gotham and he was mayor in this movie. Catwoman and Penguin were portrayed by comic books in my opinion. Batman was still a cape crusader.
Negatives - for this movie are: Selina Kyle was not a secretary or assistent in comics she was in actually a wise kid grown up on a streets and turned out to be a thief. In this movie she was a normal working girl. Catwoman engaged in sexually suggestive activities. That was the problem she wasn't romantic involved with Bruce in this movie enough. I still can't believe a grown woman goes and destroys her own pets at home acts like a child.. Demolish her home was Selina a psychopath in this movie to do that? I really don't like this. It is not entertaning. Penguin was nothing but a fat guy and ugly, he was terrible villian in this movie. He eat raw fish and he bite some guy's nose. Batman is barely in the picture. The fight scenes for Batman are not that great choreographed they could have been better. The music songs are not from Prince in this movie. I don't like Batman demolishes his beloved Batmobil. Max Shreck was not based on a comic book, he is a fictional character. Those points I don't like in this movie these mistakes hurt the film.
I like the soundtrack Face to Face by Siouxsie and the Banshees when Selina and Bruce are dancing. My favorite scene in this movie is when Batman comes to save Ice Princess but Catwoman attacks him and Batman knocks her down and says "Eat the floor." that was the best scene and Batman flys to his Batmobile and sees all those bats. Michael Gough was excellent as Alfred who supports Bruce in his hard times. In my opinion Michael Gough was much better and more likeable Alfred as Michael Cain in my opinion. I like the explosion sequence in the zoo practical effect.
Beside those problems I have it is a good movie I am still going to watch it. Come out the same year as Basic Instinct with Sharon Stone. I would say back in the 90's Sharon Stone and Michelle Pfeiffer were the most top sexy woman by actresses ever. I like this sequel, but 89 Batman, Batman Begins , Batman Forever The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises are better movies in my opinion. P
