One Paragraph Movie Review: Batman

Thirtieth film: Batman. Despite some effort, I’ve never really been into superhero movies. This — misleading as the title may be — is a superhero movie. I first saw it in the cinema the week it came out, and spent the next three weeks in the unusual position of being disappointed by a Prince album. Look, Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, and Kim Bassinger — it’s not you, it’s me. And you, a bit. One unsettlingly long pistol barrel out of five.
