I always thought the Tim Burton ones terrible. But then I'm a geek and like the comics, and I also loathe every film Tim Burton has made aside from Big Fish and Beetlejuice, so I was likely to find them a chore.
I liked the comics too, and I agree that the Burton films are nothing like 'em. But comics and films are very different things, and they need to tell their stories in different ways - for starters, the heroes have to spend a lot more time out of costume or at least unmasked. It's hard to connect with an actor on screen if you can't see their face, especially the eyes (notice how Spider-Man is constantly getting his mask ripped off in the films!).
Having said all that, the Burton Batman films are all about atmosphere, so I guess they're a bit Marmite. And don't expect a lot of action. It was pre-CGI (pretty much), and I suspect Michael Keaton could barely move in that Batman suit. :lol:
