finally Burton got to take the reigns

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2002)

This may not be the best 'Batman' film, but it is a very entertaining film nonetheless. The performances are great. Warner Brother's finally gave Burton the control he had sought. He said to hell with the kids, to hell with the critics I want to pay homage to the comic book and make a dark story. Batman is a very dark hero with a lot of chips on his shoulder. Burton did his best to represent this and at the same time throw in an army of circus freaks and one of the sexiest villians ever. Danny Devito gives a very convincing performance as an outcast who has lived a hard knock life and is ready to take revenge on the society that only accepts him now out of pity. Christopher Walken is also very fun to watch even if he cause the screen time to get cut from out hero. In the end this is a very entertaining film one that all who are a fan of the dark knight should see. It's a shame Mr. Burton couldn't have directed the best because he could have really made a dark villain out Two Face and a very entertaining one out of the riddler. As for the fourth one not even Burton could have saved that pile of crap.
