Return of the Dark Knight
Advantages: Tim Burton, Michael Keaton
Disadvantages: Batman and Robin, George Clooney, Nipples on the suit!

And so we begin with Batman (1989). This is not an origin story, like Batman Begins, instead, the film picks up with Batman already well established as a masked vigilante, putting the ...
...a bell tower showdown.
Batman is a very dark affair, but watching it, even now, it's not difficult to see why this film became (at the time) one of the top 10 highest grossing films ever. Burton paints a dark, decrepit, devastating Gotham City, whilst Michael Keaton was born to play the dark knight. Jack Nicholson, as usual, steals the film with one of the great super-villain displays, as the demented Joker. Next to Batman Returns, which sees the ...

One of the nicest Disney's adventure movies
Advantages: Based on C.S. Lewis' book
Disadvantages: is unfaithful to the book
In my opinion, one of the most interesting movies produced by Disney, it is based ont one of the "Chronicles of Narnia, a book series about a magic place called Narnia. On "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", four brothers and sisters, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, refugees from the war, go to the house of Professor Kirke, and old and misterious man, and there they find a magic wardrobe that leads them to another world, on a place called Narnia, ...
...the White Witch, who stole the reign of Aslam, the Lion, and the four kids find out that they are destinated to free Narnia from the White Witch's hands, with the help of Aslam and the other magic animals that live there. Although the movie is unfaithful to the book (like all movies based on books), it is very nice, and good with the special effects. Like a Narnia fan, I recommend the movie, and, of course, the books. ...
