Batman: The Movie

The story doesnt hold up as it once did and the camp is over the top for 2015. The stars are for the great quality print in HD. I bought this to see if I should buy the expensive TV series on blu ray. Now, I will pass. Im sorry, Adam West is the worlds biggest over actor! I will watch the series if it comes on TV, mostly to see the best Batmobile and killer theme song. This movie has all the best villains and for casual fans like me, is all you need. I have to laugh at 50 year old men who regard this as cult fans. I know a few! They know all the villains and every cameo that pokes out the window on Batman & Robins wall scaling! To sum up the review, If you want the best episode, here it is! Just enough camp and enough of Adam West to handle! They did a great job restoring it for HD!

I remember my father taking me to see this in the theater when it first came out. Several decades worth of growing up has taken a measure of the gilding off the movie, but its still super-campy and if thats what youre looking for, then its good. Not the best use of my time but it fit the bill for an evening I wanted to be entertained without thinking. (Besides, theres Lee Meriwether in her Catwoman costume... somehow I didnt notice her quite as much the first time I saw the movie!) It kinda all just peters out at the end, but there are still some laughs.

DVD is good quality but packaging could be better

The one and only Adam West as Batman. It’s Batman & Robin vs the Four Supervillains (The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin and The Catwoman). Batman: The Movie was produced by William Dozier and directed by Leslie H. Martison for 20th Century Fox Studio also have behind the scenes features. Batmania in 1966 caught the world by storm and it was a phenomenal success.

Sure, there are ways to get rid of a bomb, but for some reason this one grows on you. If you were a fan of the 60s TV show or want to introduce this version of the caped crusader to a new generation this will be a great launch board. If anything you to an hour and a half of babysitting material that looks better then when it was originally released. KAPOW!

The Special Edition Blu Ray of Batman The Movie is Awesome. I am so Glad to add this to my collection. In my opinion you really cannot ignore the Impact that the television series had on the 60s generation. The Movie was meant really at first to sell The Batman T.V. Series over seas. It was a hit over in the states and did very well abroad. If you are a Batman fan I highly recommend it for the fun of watching Adam West and Burt Ward having the time of their life playing the Dynamic Duo. It’s just a lot of fun.

The 4 villains in this movie made it so funny. They had one goal and couldnt stop Batman and Robin. Well usually the good guys are successful. It is a fun and neat movie to watch.

As a family we love it year after year it is so tongue in check hilarious! Doesnt take itself seriously like the animated versions. Casting could not be better : Burgess Meredith; Caesar Romero; Frank Goshen ; and Adam West as Batman. Id mention them all and I would if I could remember them. (Im the grandma) Grandkids are 6, 8 and 10 years; their father is 41. We span the decades and we all love this beautiful comedy! Dont you remember that Batman music: da-na-da-na-da-na BATMAN. Slide down the Bat Escape to the waiting Bat-winged Chrysler Imperial or the likes. Pure unreal fun! Great Color super-real fiction.

The grandkids watch this again and again at my house. At first, they say “This, again?” And then, they color and play and watch their favorite parts and can even report to me what’s going to happen next sometimes. Good clean fun.

This DVD was a great surprise. The extra features including trailers, commercials and the behind the scenes stuff were fantastic! One of my favorite extras is the info on the design and building of the original Batmobile. Very cool! With the designer himself - George Barris. (Who also did The Munster Mobile, Patridge Family Bus and Kitt from Knight Rider.) This movie was made while the series was actually on TV and geared for the summer movies as a filler to keep Batman hot for the next season. It worked. This is a fun movie. All the original villians are there! Cat Woman, the Joker, Penguim and The Ridler. All astonishingly played by the actors who made over-the-top acting a household delight! (Especially Cesar Romero and Frank Gorshin.) Of course, Adam West and Burt Ward were at their best! The story is simple but the Bat props and effects are great! I loved it and had a lot of fun watching it on the DVD. It was meant as a series of pure relief and entertainment and every actor in Hollywood at the time wanted to be a guest villian on this show - and they were! KA-POW!
