Reviews for Batman - Mask of the Phantasm
Top CriticHeroic stuff.
06/22/05
Top Criticmanaged to soar above the theatrical Batman adaptation, and would remain the best Bat Movie to hit the big screens until Batman Begins shook things up in 2005
02/27/08
One of the best movie versions of Batman ever

While the script and pedigree of actors are commendable, the craft level is too close to the small-screen offering to get audiences into theaters.

Top CriticThis absorbing adventure should resonate with those who take the notion of heroism seriously -- especially adolescent boys.

Top CriticThe best, most true-to-the-character adaptation of Batman for the big screen. Simply put: animation succeeded everywhere Burton and Schumacher failed.

Animated or not, this is the best Batman movie.

Infinitely more entertaining than the last two live-action Batventures.

Sadly, it seems more care was taken with the jazzy ad campaign than with the movie itself.
