Tim Burton's Batman
The Joker was awesome, but the human characters were boring. For the first 30 minutes, I was asking myself, "When do we get to the part with the Joker?" Vicki Vale in particular annoyed me for being a cookie-cutter shallow love interest. I tend to strongly dislike such characters because they make you wonder what the hero sees in them (leading to me believing that heroes need better taste in girlfriends), but seriously, he's saving the goddamn city and all you care about is him not spending enough time with you?

I felt it was a mixed bag, really.
I really hope you're not serious. Especially since, for the most part, the Burton film plays with a new story.
Call me a heretic but I think Burton's first Batman was pretty much the best Batman movie we're ever gonna get. What it ultimately comes down to for this viewer is that before Burton, Batman was pretty much just a vehicle for goofy comedy that wore thin after a few episodes, while the later Nolan outing goes too far towards the opposite extreme to try and convince us that a guy in a bat-suit is the perfect vehicle for gritty drama. Burton managed to achieve the perfect balance, having a more serious atmosphere but still keeping it fun.
Granted, Burton's Batman had a lot of problems (it often feels like a lot of the things that happen could've been their own movies), but it was better than anything that came before and anything that came after, at least in the world of theatrical film.
I really try not to think about this piece of shit but people keep bringing it up. The movie is an absolute mess. Even taking the issues with their idea of Batman out of the picture, this movie is a bloated and and unfocused. They can't decide if Bruce Wayne is a worldly playboy or a mysterious recluse. The film is filled with stupid double entendres that would make Geoff Johns groan as well as numerous stupid 'psychological' tidbits. Like how Bruce Wayne sleeps hanging upside down. LIKE A BAT. GET IT? Keaton, while charming, doesn't really know what to do with a script that is complete dross and a role that he was miscast for and so stumbles through the entire film woodenly and just pouts his lips when he wants to show emotion. Jack Nicholson is actually more intimidating before he becomes the Joker. The action scenes are dull as all hell, and as much as peopled talk about how dark it is, it's actually just as campy as the Adam West Batman except with cursing, people dying, and bad lighting. The plot makes absolutely no sense and culminates into Batman and the Joker getting into a dick-slapping contest over a girl.
On the bright side, the architecture is pretty cool, Danny Elfman's score is great, and I dug that one scene where Nicholson trashes the museum.
