Worse Than I Remembered

Rating: 5/10 (27 November 2002)

I bought this movie on DVD recently and this is the first time I have viewed it since originally seeing it in the theater. All I can say is it is much worse than I remembered. Once again as in the original Batman movie, the villains are the star and not Batman. We get no new character development of Batman, no look into his motivations, psyche or past. The character of the Penguin is bad enough, but the origin of Catwoman is absolutely absurd. Let's see if you are pushed out of a window and fall to what surely would be your death and then a mob of cats gathers around you, you will wake up a world class gymnast, an expert at martial arts and a master with a whip. You can also survive being shot 3 or 4 times at point blank range and survive and electric shock strong enough to fry someone else, heck if you get all this, push me out the window right now! Save your money and your time and avoid this turkey and the following installments of the series, because it only gets worse. One tip to Warner Brothers, whom I still assume own the rights to Batman. How about a Batman movie, about Batman
