Movie Review
Grade: A
A movie is always judged by it's villain and Jack Nicholson is the villain of villains. Never before have I seen someone do such a dark, chilling, superb job as Jack Nicholson does in this movie. But then there's Michael Keaton... Maybe not the most attractive or most muscular but he still fits the role perfectly.

Story, dialogue, and comic weirdness prevails in Batman. Read the full movie review
