flawed but fun movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2001)

Just like the 1st Batman flick this one has an incoherent story that barely makes sense, but just like the previous film it has awesome production design, fun performances & action scenes. It is a bit mean spirited as a story, but I still liked it. The Penguin is a bit less fun a villain than the Joker (who wouldn't enjoy watching Jack Nicholson acting like a nut and having a ball collecting the hugest actor paycheck of all time?). There is almost nothing I can actually say in favor of this film, except that I liked it and enjoyed it. It's just as weird as every other Tim Burton film, so at least you'll know what to expect.
