Summary - Really Great 4.5 click to collapse contents 

Despite some of the flaws, this is a sequel that I enjoy more than the original. I know I’m a minority on that one, its just an opinion. However, if you’re not a fan of Tim Burton’s traditional dark style, this one is of the take it or leave it genre. It’s not perfect, but I always enjoy it. If you thought the first film was dark, you haven’t seen anything yet. Burton turns the darkness up all the way to 11 in this Bat-sequel. This time around, Batman is treated more as a supporting character playing second string to the villains, dreadful misfit The Penguin(Danny Devito), who is currently running for mayor of Gotham(a subplot loosely adapted from the plot of the 60’s TV show) and the ever so delicious Catwoman(Michelle Pfeifer), who loves/loathes the Bat. The action in this film is a lot more well done than the first film, but as I said, it’s more of a Tim Burton movie than a Batman movie. I can’t fully recommend it, but I still say check it out.
