Batman (1989)

8/10

A classic from Tim Burton, with all the aesthetics, the amazing music by Danny Elfman, the mix of the ambiance of the 1960s Batman with 1990s darkness and Burton's ghotic style and dark humor. The star of the movie is really the Joker, played amazingly by Jack Nicholson, who had visibly lots of fun playing the character, and surely played the Joker version the most faithful to the comics, and is the best mix of humor and darkness of the Live-action Jokers, with him having truly embraced and incarnated the clown part of the Joker without losing the insanity and and frightening parts of the character.

The scene at the museum was particularly memorable with the Joker and his goons dancing and playing while vandalizing the museum arts with a catchy song tune.

The First Purge, very mid film. Very forgettable, cliche, predictable. It just felt very apathetic and on the nose, ham-fisted.

The Forever Purge was much better than this but then again, I never expected these films to be any good at all, I just watched them out of morbid curiousity. It felt like it wanted to be Die Hard, John Wick, Rambo etc with parts of it too.

There's also some other glaring issues which I won't mention here but you can easily find them if you look it up and I agree on them. I can respect what the film was trying to do in some ways but it has a really extreme exceptionalism attitude, whilst ironically trying to condemn, criticise it. A parody of itself and its intentions.

Less than 2 weeks to the new Naked Gun though, I can't fucking wait. My inner child well maybe teenager is so fucking happy. I can't believe it's real and is so faithful/respectful to the originals and actually looks really freaking funny so far.
