Has grown on me over time.

Spoiler warning ahead if you have not seen this movie.
I originally saw this movie when it was in theatres back in 1992. I was super hyped for this movie, but was looking forward to seeing it. At this point in time my interest in Batman had diminished in favour of Silver Surfer.
I did not like this movie at all upon my first time viewing it in a theatre. I thought it was boring, and not anywhere near as good as the first one. I was pretty disappointed with this film compared to the original.
The first thing that took me out of this film was that it was set in winter during Christmas. Which threw me off, because it was a summer release. Also I did not like the penguin, and thought the design was just gross. It annoyed me that he was always spitting up blue crap in the film.
Also the rocket launching penguins I thought were completely lame.
The only thing I liked about the movie upon watching it originally was Catwoman. I thought the character, and the way she was designed looked really cool.
Now I've seen the movie many times over the years since then. My views on the film have changed. I actually enjoy it, and I'm entertained by the movie now. It has evolved into one of my favourite movies to throw on at Christmas.
I really enjoy the design of the winter setting, and the look of Gotham. It has a other worldly fantasy look to it, and that gives it a timeless feel.
I really enjoy the score of the film, and I think Danny Elfman has done a great job on this film.
I still don't like the penguin however, and him spitting up blue goo at through out the film still totally annoys me. Also the rocket launching penguins still just makes me shake my head.
Catwoman is still awesome, and Michelle Pfeiffer is still my favourite on screen version of Catwoman.
If your a die hard Batman fan you've most likely have already seen this movie. If your not, and you're going to watch this film. Keep in my Tim Burton strays quite far with the source material. So there are a lot of changes from the comics. Also this movie is not a perfect film, and has it's flaws. Keeping all that in mind it can be a fun viewing.
