MJ5K's Review

Summary - Perfect 5.0 click to collapse contents 

One of the greatest comic book films of all time(its at least in the top 5). Told through a dark story and complex character development, visionary director Tim Burton excellently tells the story of the caped crusader. The film to me comes off as a character study of a man who is psychologically torn between two worlds of his own. One: a life of crime fighting and hiding behind a mask. The other: hiding all of his pain on the inside while trying to lead a normal life. Michael Keaton plays our hero and Jack Nicholson plays our villain, the Joker. One made the other. The Joker killed Batman’s parents and Batman tossed the Joker into acid. The woman caught between all of this is reporter Vicki Vale(Kim Basinger), who isn’t only interested in Bruce, but the bat as well. The film contains some of the best lines in a film I’ve ever heard(You are my number one guy) and the score is just amazing. As much as I love it, when I was ‘bout 10 I didn’t really dig it. Now that I’m older, I love it a lot more. So if your under the age of 12, I don’t think you’ll love so much of the adult overtones, especially if you saw the Schumacher films first. Either way, its still a must see. By all means a triumph.
