Return of the Dark Knight

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

...set contains the first 4 Batman films, and the great thing about this box set is that it is cheaper than buying the films individually, and it chronicles the change in the Batman genre, from dark and moody (Burton), to more slapstick and comic-book like (Schumacher). 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 ...

Review of Batman (Movie Box Set) (DVD)

3 of the best

Advantages: Action packed and all together
Disadvantages: Face/Off can be a little confusing

Nicolas Cage maybe my most loved actor ever! in all 3 films he gives incredible performaces combined with amazing action shots that would put a lot of films to shame. The Rock: With a rouge general and special forces team loose of Alcatraz with enough missiles and VX gas to destroy most of San fransico. Only an FBI lab rat has the knowledge and cool to disarm the weapons. Teaming up with Sean Connery the only man to ever break ou of the infamous ...
...he is trying to save but 5 million others as well. Face/Off: Sean Archer the governments top agent agianst terrorist Castor troy, first has to become him before he can stop him. When castor troy (Cage) kills Archers(Travlota) son. It becomes his personal mission to extract revenge. however when Troy is caught and put in a coma, the only way Archer can find out where he left a bomb is to immpersonate him and convince his brother to talk. This film ...

Life Post Bond

Advantages: Lots of Sean Connery
Disadvantages: Lots of not very good Sean Connery

...except that that all feature Sean Connery in the lead role. Starting with his first post Bond role in Zardoz and finishing with his final big screen performance (to date) in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, this set includes mediocre performances in some ordinary movies and serves no real purpose other than filling the gaps in your collection. Looking at the movies in chronological order we get: Zardoz (1974) John Boorman was given a free hand ...
...five post-Bond flicks to show Sean at his best I might have chosen differently. Aside from the obvious choice of The Untouchables, your collections may be better served by these lost Connery movies all made since he handed back his license to kill for the first time in 1971. • The Man Who Would Be King (1975) • Outland (1981) • The Name Of The Rose (1986) • The Presidio (1988) • Finding Forrester (2000) ...

The man with the Midas touch......

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: Gert Frobe as Goldfinger not up to scratch with the others

...view, I would still rate Goldfinger very highly. The Bond series has a fresh director at the helm and an extremely charismatic Bond leading on the screen. The scenery in the film is beautiful, and the characterisation from Fleming is transferred very well onto the screen by Richard Maibaum, the screenplay writer. Shirley Bassey provides the title track of the film, a song to stick in my mind - beautifully crafted and performed. If there was anything ...
...Frobe as Goldfinger, as he does seem a little out of his depth in this. He is not very convincing as a villain, so it is just as well he has Oddjob and Pussy Galore, as they are very convincing. Conclusion Another good Bond film. The DVD is available from amazon.co.uk for £4.35. This review may also be posted on dooyoo.co.uk. Thanks for reading. ...
