Which Batman qualifies as the 'Original'? Holy Film-flams, Batman!
I thought the one with Jack Nicholson as the Joker was fantastic. "This town needs an enema!", best line in a movie ever!
And the one after that was worth watching just to pause moments of Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, and drool.
The recent, 'Dark Knight', lost it's comic-book-world flavour, was too real-world with one rogue in tights, and felt more like a violent episode of Law and Order or Silence of the Lambs. Gotham City was too much Like New York, and not a comic book city.
Most people I talk to agree, the second Indiana Jones (Temple of Doom) sucked. And this last, 4th one? Indiana Jones meets E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial <gutteral -Cringe!> Why did we need space aliens mixed in with a great adventure series???
Star Wars, Empire was great, excpet for the 'to-be-continued' weak ending - - but 'Return of the Teddy Bears' (Ewoks) took a nose-dive. That was when George Lucas quit writing for adult, and re-directed the intent of the series for kids.
The Spiderman series, however, is without complaint for sequels.
I also liked the Lethal Weapon series.
