Perfection achieved.

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2004)

Batman Returns is a poem of a film. As Kit Ramsey would say: "It's a film, not a movie!". Michael Keaton has totally become one with the character of Bruce Wayne and DeVito and Pfeiffer justify their casting the second they appear on the screen. Nothing short of a miracle. And as much as Burton is my favorite director, Danny Elfman is the magician this time around. The score he created for Batman Returns is in my opinion the highlight of his career so far. The music is absolutely beautiful and supports the imagery dead on. I'm very much looking forward to Nolan's fifth Batman film, 'cause Batman Forever (****) was on the limit of being complete failure and the almost legendary Batman and Robin (*) WAS just that. Still, this one deserves a place in my top 10 best films list. A masterpiece.
