Batman (1989)

Just perfect...

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The first truly great comic book movie IMO. Tim Burton's dark vision of Gotham along with the finest portrayal of Batman yet by Michael Keaton makes a great combination. Nicholson's Joker is also a devilishly entertaining villain. Score by Danny Elfman is legendary and instantly recognizable! A true game changer and iconic piece of cinema, not just another comic book movie.

This, alongside Blade Runner 1982, are some of the visaully best made movies of all time, even tho they were made 30-40 years ago. The city is gloomy, dark, misty and dead in some way. The scenery throughout the whole movie is details, details and details. Also the bat mobile is so classy, it even looks better than the modern one in the later movies. This is my favourite comic character and after watching this first movie (I know, I am ashamed I haven't watched it until now), I understand why he is to many, many others. For me, Michael Keaton is nowhere near Christian Bale's roleplay, but hey, he was the first one and he did his work greatly. On the other hand, Jack Nicholson is by far the best joker ever. There doesn't exist a more fitting person for the Joker than him. He gets so deep in the role, you think that actually he is like that all the time, in private life also. His 24/7 grim is off the hook. altho I think that they could've made his face a bit more "destroyed" by the acid. This movie rightfully won an oscar, 7/10 for me.

Tim Burton's Batman holds up surprisingly well after all this time. The action, sets, acting, score, and casting are all excellent. It was definitely a cultural phenomenon bringing an icon to life after the long-lived campy Adam West Batman series.If you're looking for modern action on par with things like the Bourne Ultimatum, the Dark Knight, or John Wick, you're not going to find it in Batman (1989), but you will find an enjoyable product of the time. Consider that Die Hard came out the year prior. Die Hard was awesome, but you have to admit that most fight choreography wasn't especially kinetic or intense. Batman is old, but, if you take it as it is, it's a really enjoyable super-hero romp that is both tense and dark and campy and fun.

Honestly I'm not a big fan of the SuperMan movies but this one the the cake. I like the dark tone of this film. Tim Burton was the greatest choose as the director as BatMan like it's dark, and gritty. I'm glad I got this film like I really like beside Christopher Nolan's BatMan like just saying like just because BatMan Begins (2005) have a higher score than this movie doesn't mean it's better I'm not saying those movies are bad their awesome like this film.Score: 8.5/10
