Beautiful. Both story and the visual.

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 1998)

One of the most charming movies ever made. I love the way Burton builds up his world of dark fantasy and gothic scenes. I could just sit back and enjoy a two-hour movie of nothing but the vision of his wonderful imagination.
But Batman Returns is more than a fancy ride into Burton's world. The strength of Batman-movies has been always the villain characters and this one is the best. The dark, but fascinating character of Penguin is perhaps the most tragic figure ever shown in the movies. And the psychotic relationship between Selina/Catwoman and Bruce/Batman might be the most beautiful love-story ever shown on the screen.
I strongly recommend. This just isn't an action movie. And its comedy side has the dark, black touch of Burton in it. He is perhaps the most talented of the directors Hollywood has and this is one of his best works.
