Batman

As I've mentioned here, it's difficult to assess the previous Batman films mainly because of the trilogy that Christopher Nolan brought, so I'll try my best to be as objective as possible. This movie introduced the start of the movie versions of Batman (not including the film adaptation of the series), and while it was a good start, I felt that it was a lesser version of the sequel (Batman Returns). While it had a colorful villain, the screenplay was off-putting and unsatisfactory, leaving me with mediocre feelings towards the first film.

Double Feature: RoboCop (1987) / RoboCop (2014)

Two short reviews, one movie franchise. While I was aware of the Robocop franchise from way back, I haven't really seen the movie until recently - and same goes for the reboot of the franchise. Doing a double feature on them doesn't mean I'll be pinning them against each other. After seeing both movies, I thought that these should be taken as separate entities. Sure, there are similarities and such, but as my consensus, they were both pretty good movies. The premise is simple: Detective Murphy get murdered, but survived by putting his remaining functioning body parts into a machine that allows him to move, and is transformed to become this super protector of Detroit City. However, his main priorities change when he investigates on his own murder, leading him to unfold plots that were happening in the city.

Batman Returns

Cast: Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito
Director: Tim Burton

Before I begin to write down my thoughts, I want to make one thing clear: I haven't seen Batman (1989) and  maybe I should have started with that. So if you see anything that can be explained using the first movie, refer to the first sentence of this review. It's hard to enjoy the previous Batman films if you've seen Nolan's versions...well, at least for me. I found it difficult to not compare the previous versions to the recently released ones, but I am going to try to make this as objective as possible.
