Its.....OK

Rating: 6/10 (11 January 2004)

Batman Returns is pretty good but not great. I thought Catwoman was great but didn't care much for the Penquin, he was just too.....weird. Michelle Pfeiffer is fab as Catwoman and really seems to be getting her claws into the role. I think I prefer Batman films to have one villain, two seems a bit too much as Batman seems to fade into the background as so much time is given to the villains. I preferred Burgess Meridith as the Penquin in the 60's TV show anyway. Batman Returns must be the weirdest summer blockbuster ever released, still its miles better than any of the Batman films that followed. Michael Keaton is good when he's on screen as Batman which doesn't seem that much, he's the best Batman so far thats for sure. Christopher Walken is always good and he's no different here his character reminded me a little of when he played Max Zorin in the Bond movie "A View to a Kill". All in all not bad, but I don't think I'd bother watching it again. ***6/10***
