Even better than the first original Batman (1989).

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2018)

Maybe I will go a bit to far, but this movie, for me, is even better than it's predecessor. Yes, in the first movie Jack Nicholson's Joker is outstanding, his role is beyond great, he is the icon of the movie, but still, nothing is darker than this sequel. Here we have more than one main bad guy, we have The Penguin, The Catwoman and also Shrek, the businessman. The Penguin played by Danny DeVito is something else, it is beyond good, it is something that can never be replayed. The costume work done both for The Penguin and The Catwoman is pure art. What can I say about the Catwoman played by Michelle Pfeifer ? The best female semi anti-hero ever played on the movie screens ? She does everything in this movie with a feeling of crazyness, power and emotion, all three at the same time. There is nothing do discuss about Michael Keaton as Batman, he has already proven himself in the first movie, altho he is even better and a more complete character in this sequel. Also the city is once again beautiful, dark, gothic, cold and full with criminals, one of the most beautiful aspects of the movie. 8/10
