I have to admit that I was quite sceptic about this movie,but after finally having seen it I have to say:Truly magnificent! This is by far the best Batman-thing ever caught on film.Better than any campy men-in-tights-TV-series,dumb spin off-cartoons or boring movie-sequels(I'm talking of the post-Burton ones). Burton is the only one who is able to create the dark,insane atmosphere that is needed for a Batman-movie.This movie recreates the original Batman -the vision of his creator- in a skillful and honest way.This film almost reminds me of a film-noir and definitely isn't the right stuff for people who like happy family-entertainment. The costumes and the make-up are brilliant,as well as the Bat-Toys.Furthermore we get to see one of the best villains ever,brought alive through the unbeatable performance of Jack Nicholson.Every minute with the Joker is superb.The only criticism is,that all the other characters(including Batman) get totally blasted away through his performance,which doesn't mean that Keaton did a bad job.As a Batman-movie it gets 10/10,as a movie compared to others it gets 8/10.

I know this film isn't Oscar-material,but it has this special something.It may be bad,but this cruel,sadistic coolness of the Marsians makes me laugh each time.In fact this film is very funny although there's nothing to laugh about. Just the right stuff to satisfy my bad taste!!

Yesss! Kubrick does it again.The Shining is a classic.I know that many people mind the slow beginnings of his movies,but this only helps the atmosphere.And we find plenty of atmosphere in this flick! Great music,locations,lights and of course the superb camera work(unbeatable!).Jack Nicholson is simply brilliant and adds even more to the quality of the movie.There are several scenes,which will stay in your mind because of their scary,insane and claustrphobic atmosphere.Especially Danny's shining-flashbacks with the little girls and the waves of blood are unbeatable.You can say what you want,but Kubrick movies always are something special! I highly recommend this movie to you,especially the uncut,long version.You also should try the Simpsons-version. 10/10
