...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.

Add to this the fact that it's directed ...
...the reality TV sports show Death Race. In Death Race prisoners must race against each other in a three day, three event race. If a prisoner wins a race five times he is freed, given a full pardon in fact, if he loses, well it's best put that the losers don't get to discover the reality of losing, the only way out of Death Race is first across the finish line, otherwise your bound to be in the morgue.

Against her will Ray vows to help him better his image and prove to the people of the city that he is the superhero that they deserve. This is generally a good film, very funny in places.

...like throwing the whale into the sea and the terrible landings. The funniest bit by far is in prison when a prisoner dares to call Hancock "arsehole" one too many times.....! Over all, I would recommend this light hearted film. Especially if you are a fan of Will Smith. ... Read review
