Pros: Entertaining, enjoyable movie. Jack Nicholson. Cons: Not enough information on some aspects of Batman. Over the top in few spots.
In 1989, Tim Burton’s Batman was released. I remember the movie receiving a lot of publicity and making a lot of money. For some reason, I wasn’t interested in seeing the movie then. I’m not sure why since I had enjoyed the ...
Pros: Tim Burton's vision, Keaton and Nicholson's performances, the Return of Superhero Movies Cons: Established a few problems which would multiply in Bat-sequels
That's what I remember thinking back in 1989. I didn't have anything AGAINST Keaton, but he was no Batman. That's like...ME playing Batman! I mean, I did it all the time, but just in my own head, and not in front of millions of people. And Jack...
Pros:Dracula-like score by Danny Elfman; Keaton and Nicholson's performances Cons: Uneven script, too over-the-top, garish Gotham City
In the summer of 1989, Warner Bros. released one of its biggest hits ever -- the much-anticipated Batman feature film, directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, and Kim Basinger. Coming in a summer of sequels -- 1989 ...
Pros: Brought back a serious, dark tone... Cons: ... however, dark tone went too surreal
1989 was the Year of the Bat. After missing the boat with Superman's 50th anniversary in 1988, Warner Bros. and DC Comics made sure that wouldn't happen for Batman's 50th anniversary in 1989. So what was the biggest and best way to get ...
Pros: story, acting by the main characters, sets, special effects Cons: no extras on the DVD
When Tim Burton took on the Director’s job for the 1989 version of Batman, fans knew they were in for something much different than the campy, cartoonish television show. Burton had a reputation for seeing the dark side of things, ...
Pros: great casting, dark like it needed to be, Nicholson, Keaton, Basinger, great score Cons: re-writing of back story
With 1989's release of Batman, the whole comic book genre of films was re-written, and the road was paved for everything that would come after it. Not only that, but taking in over $200 million in the box office showed that people were willing to come ...
Pros: Interesting characters, good acting, cool gadgets, Jack Nicholson as Joker Cons: Some cheesy scenes
Although Batman is a cultural phenomenon, I have never seen any of the films until last night. It’s not surprising I didn’t see the film when it first came out, seeing as I was only seven. However, it is somewhat amazing that I have dodged not ...
Pros: Set direction and effects spectacular, great performances especially Nicholson Cons: A little goofy and unbalanced in parts
Along with the first two Superman films, this is the best comic book movies can get. The stunning set design and masterful direction of Tim Burton bring the caped crusader to life in this 1989 blockbuster. The sequels had moments, but this was far...
Pros: The acting is above average, it started the Batman Franchise well enough Cons: A little too over-the-top in some places, Not enough action to keep things interesting
It's funny how little things can affect how much you like a certain movie or any other mediums of entertainment. For example viewers who have never seen a Hollywood depiction of the DC Comic character Batman, wanting to view the entire Batman saga could ...
Pros: Showed how visually innovative a comic book film could be. Cons: Occasionally over the top.
That little 'sister' of mine, Doreen Lester Scrawcrunch, is becoming more and more irritating. On my breakfast tray, instead of my usual fresh squeezed orange juice, Starbuck's cappucino, and selection of fresh fruits and breads, there was a mess of...
Of course, everyone knows the story of this film. The action takes place in Gotham City- a crime infested sess pool of seemingly perpetual night. For too long the people of Gotham have been terrorised by the thugs, gangs, muggers and gangsters who rule ...
Pros: well directed, set design, engaging, acting Cons: fight scenes
Hello again everyone. Having just wrapped up the Stinky Movie Write-Off I have been just dying to post a review on a good film. I decided to post one on a film that I touted in my Stinky Movie review of the abysmal flop Batman & ...
Pros: Great Action, Fun to watch over and over, awesome cast, A fun movie to watch even the 10th time Cons: No other "Bad Guy" to team up with the joker
The original Batman of the latest Batman series was just titled Batman. When this movie hit the theatures people flocked to see this like many other new hit movies of the past. Batman was called The movie of the decade, and also given 4...
Pros: One of the best comic book movies of all time! Cons: Holy moley, Batman...is that a Prince soundtrack?
Long before the Batman franchise took a major nosedive and became more concerned with product endorsements and frivolous campiness than actually being entertaining, there was a director with a singular vision.
Pros: great acting and score, dark atmosphere, lots of DVD extras Cons: weak songs by "Prince" or whatever he is these days
Batman to this day remains one of my favorite super hero to screen adaptations. Part of that comes from the comics being among my favorites. I’ve been fascinated with Batman for a long time even to the point of writing a highly praised college term ...
Tim Burton's BATMAN inspired by Frank Miller's graphic novel THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS is a Gothic Wagnerian treatment of the Batman mythos that explain...More at Family Video
