Decent sequel but didn't seem like it tried to be better.

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2001)

Now I am huge fan of the Batman series (yes, I even liked Batman and Robin) and I didn't mind this movie. But when it comes to the least enjoyable installment this has to be it. The reason I say that because it was way, way too dark which Tim Burton might've been a little too excited about in the movie. Another reason is that it didn't seem like it tried to be better then the original, which in my opinion is a comic book classic. It needed a little more action and a better story. The performances in the movie were superb no doubt. Danny Devito was unbelieveable as the Penguin. But the one character that I hated to see in every scene that he was in was Christopher Walken's character. I don't think he needed to be in the plot because he seemed useless to me. Tim Burton as usual did wonderful directing when it came to the acting and the action scenes but again it was little too dark for me for a Batman film. It just seemed a gothic story written by Edgar Allen Poe or something. Not a comic book adaption. But I did like it and I haven't hated a Burton film yet. Of course I haven't seen Planet of the Apes yet. I just think it could've been a lot better.
