Batman Returns: a classic example of 90s crap
Ginsu Victim:
Meh....I remember thinking Batman was a slow, boring movie back when it came out, but I respected it for at least not being a kids movie.

Euro+american movie - don't necessarily compute.

When it was known someone was making a movie about BATMAN, everyone had in mind "kids' movie", "cheesy tv show", "goofy looking heroes with no super powers", etc. Public opinion was stacked against him. The movie ended up blowing everybody's expectations away.
Today, sure... it's easy to see its flaws, but most old movies look flawed in some way.

I think A LOT of 80s movies still hold their own, graphics-wise. In that way, people today are too used to things that are actually quite PHYSICally unrealistic, let alone sensational. And they're too used to play-doh colors. Even the 128 color crayon box is pretty limited.

Well, it might bring to bear the question of whether you appreciate literature-level stories. ?

Love 'em. I can watch the slowest, most boring crap ever made if it's done well. Batman just didn't do it for me.
Sorry that I will never reach your level of pretentiousness, though. You really are a snob 90% of the time.
Ummon:
Oh, maybe more. However, again, my question wasn't a presumption, so again interesting your interpretation.
Ummon:
I sorta forgot to mention this: essentially, Batman Returns was im-possible. Why? Because the runt that became the Penguin never would've lived. And if he somehow had survived, he would never've learned to speak, perhaps even think much. I mean, where the ---fudgesicle--- did he learn anything?? And, on the technical side, how the ---fudgesicle--- did he get hold of Batman ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- schematics?? ?? ?? RunDMC comes to mind: ....dumb...dumb-dumb dumb-dumb.
