A Superb Sequel!!!

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2002)

"Batman Returns" is an excellent sequel to an excellent film. I cannot express enough how happy I am that Tim Burton returned as director and Michael Keaton returned to the title role. Tim Burton is an excellent director! He has the occasional eye-rolling moment, but overall, he is very good at what he does. Michael Keaton is absolutely fantastic as Bruce Wayne/Batman! The Batman suit looks excellent in this film, they really did a fantastic job with the outfit!
The rest of the cast is very good as well. Danny DeVito plays a very good Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer is perfect as Catwoman (and isn't that bad on the eyes either). Christopher Walken does a very good job as Max Schreck as well. Michael Gough, Michael Murphy, Pat Hingle, and Andrew Bryniarski were very good supporting cast members as well.
I don't think I can say that this film was better than the original "Batman", but it was very good in it's own right. The story was pretty good, but there are a few problems here and there that I had with it. Overall, I thought this was a good second installment to the Batman series, but could have been a little better. I would definitely recommend first seeing the original "Batman", and then give "Batman Returns" a look. I hope you enjoy the film, thanks for reading,
