Batman (Movie Box Set) (DVD)

...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)

...the city. Batman Returns followed on the heals of the first film with Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returning to the fold. Joining them here is a new array of villains headed up by Christopher Walken as Max Shreck, the respected millionaire who is dumping chemical toxins into the city's sewers, Danny De Vito as the hideous Penguin who was dumped into the city's sewers himself as a baby and now rises back to the city's streets in a campaign to become ...
...Hingle as Commissioner Gordon. Batman Forever has Val Kilmer taking over Batman duties, with Joel Schumacher lending his far more colourful vision to the film. Tim Burton's dark gothic vision is but a memory as Jim Carrey's The Ridler and tommy Lee Jones's Two Faced lend mayhem and madness in. There is a variance of beautiful women along for the ride this time as Drew Barrymore has a pointless cameo, and Nicole Kidman pre-acting chops as the lovely ...

Review of Batman (Movie Box Set) (DVD)

...good package, all the old Batman films in one chunky box set that should have the fans foaming at the mouth. It has both Tim Burtons darker take on the Dark knight as well as Shumacher’s take on the Bat. As far as the films go, the first two are very good films. Burton, as with all his films adds his blend of darkness mixed with high-octane action very well. Batman Forever and Batman Returns are very different from the first two. They decided to ...
...As far as the DVD's are concerned there's not a lot as well. The special features are lacking plus you don’t get the best Batman of all, Batman Begins. If you’re a hard-core fan then get the double disk individual versions, they both look better but contain more features. ...

...to watch the progression of Batman from the earliest battles with the Joker in the original Batman to his huge battle with Freeze in Batman & Robin. This Quadrilogy is riddled with famous faces, most interesting are the villans. Jim Carrey lets his natural insanity flow perfectly into the character of the Riddler and even Arnie's usual woodenness fits the character of Dr. Freeze rather well. Although undoubtedly the best character is Michelle Pfeiffer's ...
...Halle Berry). Each story line is individual but holds true to the comics from its whacky villans and their brightly coloured goons down to Batman's limitless supply of uniquely useful gadgets. Definatly a good buy, as you can watch them over and over and you don't really have to watch them in order. ...

...yourself in the world of batman you can't take it too seriously but the reason i think this is fantastic is the fact you can get the four movies for 9.99. would you want to watch them over and over is another question. i like them all especially the first which is my favourite. its a bit of rollercoaster after that with the quality of the movies but lets face it if your only going to want this if your a real batman fan then again saying that if you ...
