Brilliant

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2013)

This Movie is definitely Tim Burton's best movie in the 90's, it gives the viewer the batman vibe that was untouched for years, in this film we see a different batman, a batman that has returned but this time he is more bat than man.
I enjoyed Tim Burton's "spooky" take on batman, his directing seemed to be very dark the camera angles he chose however seemed to give the viewer a slight uncomfortable experience, which is not necessarily a bad thing since it makes the viewer get more engaged with the film.
As a viewer I really enjoyed the story and how it was structured, as we begin with a short back-story about the penguin, and then we see how Bruce Wayne has been doing after he defeated the joker (in the last film) what made the story really appealing was the creepy yet realistic vibe that I personally felt it gave out.
The screenplay is funny yet creepy, as we see a different version of the penguin, in which he lived in the sewer which I felt really matched the theme of this film, the things the characters said and did really made since I felt that Burton took the names of these characters in a very literal manner, for example cat woman was so much like a cat that she actually kept licking her hands and penguin was so much like a real penguin that he ate raw fish, I think this was what made the film really interesting.
Though the casting in this film got negative reviews, I really enjoyed it and felt that it made sense, Dany DeVito who was at the hight of his carrier plays the penguin which was the best interpretation of the penguin to date in my opinion, he made the penguin sound, he ate raw fish, he walked like a penguin, he had penguin hands, he had a penguin like body it was brilliant! I also enjoyed Michelle Pfeiffer's take on cat woman, personally I liked the 60's cat woman more but she was still really good, and creepy as well. Michael Keaton as batman, which we have seen before, was great I think that he is definitely one of the best batmen to date, he was not too dark, he moved like a bat and he fought like a bat, I also enjoyed his take on Bruce Wayne.
The props involved with this film were great I loved the bat suit and the bat-mobile in this film is definitely my favorite.
Overall, I strongly recommend watching this film as it is a brilliant, fun and creepy batman film it is definitely one of Burton's best movies to date.
