Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780790713533 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, NTSC ISBN: 0790713535 Label: Warner Home Video Languages: Manufacturer: Warner Home Video Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Warner Home Video Release Date: October 07, 1997 Running Time: 126 minutes Studio: Warner Home Video Theatrical Release Date: June 19, 1992 Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: The first Batman sequel takes a wicked turn with the villainous exploits of the freakish and mean-spirited Penguin (Danny DeVito), whose criminal collaboration with evil tycoon Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) threatens to drain Gotham City of its energy supply. As if that weren't enough, Batman (Michael Keaton) has his hands full with the vengeful Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), who turns out to be a lot more dangerous than a kitten with a whip. As with the first Batman feature, director Tim Burton brings his distinct visual style to the frantic action, but this time there's a darker malevolence lurking beneath all that extraordinary production design. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating: - THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE BATMAN! After the huge success of the first Batman film in 1989, Burton was given full reign with this beautifully grotesque sequel. Forget Batman Mythology as this film bares little resemblance to the comic books we read as kids. This is Burton's fantasy this time and anything goes! If your open minded, you should like this film as much as I did, it took balls to make a film like this and I admire that! One major improvement was not having Kim Basinger return, because it's the relationship ...

Rating: - Burton and `The Bat' seem a slight mismatch...It's funny when you look at the old (by old I mean Burton and onward) Batman films in contrast to the recent Nolan masterpieces; they just don't stand up. `Batman Returns' is probably the better of the previous four, but even still it's apparent that Tim Burton was missing the point. I'm going to say this upfront, as a longstanding fan of Batman in every shape and form he comes in, that Batman is a very serious comic. The one thing that makes Batman so great is that he is not a superhero ... Read More Rating: - Tragic irony or poetic justice?This review focuses on Burton's Batman (Batman89, Batman Returns), Nolan's Batman (Batman Begins, the Dark Knight), and 1992 original Batman: The Animated Series. I'm excluding Schumacher's Batman (Batman Forever, Batman and Robin), the 1960's Batman series, and "The Batman", simply because I believe they are the weakest representations. To be perfectly honest, I love Burton, Nolan, and BTAS equally. All three interpretations are so different, that they cannot be compared. And it is really annoying ...

But come on, Tim Burton in top form, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito in the best role he ever had and the best performance he has given!!! Sure you hardly see Michael Keaton but when he's on he's on. I wish he would return to this role or to Beetlejuice for that matter. I saw this movie in the theater 5 times, with different people, totally in love with Catwoman. The ... Read More |
