Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's an unforgivably flat ending for a movie of such astonishing contours. But its first two-thirds -- which should be called The Joker's Big Misadventure -- is probably the best film of the year.

The storytelling has weaknesses, but the characters are fascinating.

fresh:
The idea of doing a dark, neurotic, highly stylized and highly claustrophobic superproduction is an audacious and appealing one, but director Tim Burton has only made it halfway there.

Is it interesting? Fitfully. Is it fun? Not much, Gotham City fans, not much.

fresh:
Director Tim Burton effectively echoes the visual style of the original Bob Kane comics while conjuring up a nightmarish world of his own.
