Movie Reviews of Batman (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Nostalgic Reward
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll be the first to admit that nostalgia fuels a sizeable percentage of my purchases. I remember when Dave Matthews Band was cool in high school and I keep buying their records now, even if I don't like them like I used to. The same goes for the original, animated Transformers movie. I bought that before the 2007 movie came out, watched it once, and realized that my tastes have changed since I was five. That movie is almost unwatchably bad. This Batman film, however, is still awesome. I love it. It's still my favorite, even after Batman Begins blew me away. Jack's Joker is great and Michael Keaton will always be my Batman. The look and feel of this movie is dark and exciting without being oppressive. Occassionally the strain on your suspension of disbelief is a little much, but this movie is still well worth your time and your money.
Summary of Batman (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Thanks to the ambitious vision of director Tim Burton, the blockbuster hit of 1989 delivers the goods despite an occasionally spotty script, giving the caped crusader a thorough overhaul in keeping with the crime fighter's evolution in DC Comics. Michael Keaton strikes just the right mood as the brooding "Dark Knight" of Gotham City; Kim Basinger plays Gotham's intrepid reporter Vicki Vale; and Jack Nicholson goes wild as the maniacal and scene-stealing Joker, who plots a takeover of the city with his lethal Smilex gas. Triumphant Oscar-winning production design by the late Anton Furst turns Batman into a visual feast, and Burton brilliantly establishes a darkly mythic approach to Batman's legacy. Danny Elfman's now-classic score propels the action with bold, muscular verve. --Jeff ShannonJack Nicholson is the Joker, who emerged from a horrible accident as a maniacal criminal. Michael Keaton is the Caped Crusader, who emerged from a childhood trauma to become a masked crimefighter. Kim Basinger is Vicki Vale, the talented photojournalist desired by both men. And Batman is the movie, the all-out spectacular directed by Tim Burton, set to songs by Prince and a music score by Danny Elfman, and an Academy AwardO winner* for Best Art Direction/Set Decoration (Anton Furst and Peter Young).
