Good...but not great! - Batman Reviews

Let me just say that I am not a Tim Burton fan. Many might believe his talents are creative, but actually, I find his visuals redundant and boring. So, although I enjoyed watching Michael Keaton as Batman and thought Jack Nicholson "could" have been a great Joker, this movie just didn't work for me. It had too much Tim Burton in it! The Joker is sinister, indeed, yet Burton turned him into a ridiculous circus clown. I mean, come on, the one scene where Joker is painting up the art museum and playing Prince music in the background?? Give me a break! Oh, and whats with Kim Bassinger? Yeah, Vickie Vale, right? Wrong! The movie could have done much better without the love interest. How does the Batman find time to save Gotham City and maintain a social life? I never knew he actually had one. Well, apparently, Tim Burton didn't know either, which is why this movie is really nothing more than mediocre.
