sarahroberts-91001 This was an alright film as it makes you feel good about yourself and it makes you happy although it seemed a bit silly at some points.

Trey Yancy I was a kid when the live-action series was on the air and even then, I found the show only mildly interesting. My expectations were not particularly high because, to be frank, the Batman comics of the day were just as two-dimensional and lame as the series. The stories were trite and the art was abysmal. I do remember, however, being disappointed that the characters were not taken seriously but were fodder for writers and a producer with a childish sense of humor and a lack of appreciation for the mythos. When the 1970's pilot for Wonder Woman was made, it was more of the same, except that her alter ego was a slapstick klutz with an IQ of around 37.The public quickly tired of the Batman series, which had no appeal to adults or teens. When the movie came out, expectations were that the producers would take things more seriously, but it was just as bad as the series. While it drew large audiences for the first week after release, the crowds quickly thinned and the movie was essentially a huge bomb.As for modern audiences, who had endured the glacially slow maturation process of the film depictions through the Burton series and culminating in the Nolan series, the original live action Batman film is quite agonizing to endure. For those determined to see it, stream it as a rental. Buying it sight unseen will leave viewers wishing they'd invested their money and time on something else.

Eric Stevenson I have never seen the Adam West Batman show but know that it has become legendary for how silly it is and how entertaining it was in its goofiness. Having at least known a little about the show, I was very eager to watch this and I was not disappointed. I guess it appealed to me because it's very 1960's. It's just great to see all these actors together. Even though it doesn't take itself seriously, this really isn't a disgrace to Batman at all. The superheroes play it fairly straight given how goofy their environments are. Even the shark repellent has some relevance to the plot.It was great just watching all the little things from the show show up. I liked seeing those written sound effects near the end. The gag where they climb up a building with a guest star was included as well. Everyone is camping it up and doing their hammy best in this delightfully silly and colorful movie. This was the first Batman movie ever made and it's hard not to enjoy something that's so silly but never to the point where it gets annoying. Is it one of the best Batman movies? No, but it includes all the goofiness from the show and even has a nice little moral about not wanting to alter people's beliefs at the end. ***

adonis98-743-186503 Batman (1966) The Movie is based upon the popular TV show that came around the 60's and it was a huge success. Listen i don't have any problem with people who actually loved this but my god was this movie unfunny, stupid and bad? Batman The Movie is a disappointing first try in order to make a Batman film i see now why Joel Schumacher's Batman Films were mediocre. Riddler was actually Joker in this movie, Joker had a mustache, The Penguin trained Rocky Balboa and Catwoman was annoying. But the worst thing about it is the Dynamic Duo i mean Clooney and O'Donnell did a much better job than this guys. Adam West's portrayal of Bruce Wayne A.k.a Batman was way wrong this is a guy who saw his parents get murdered in front of him and he gets dressed like a bat in order to scare his enemies and not saving cats or running with a bomb in his hands. The acting was bad, the villains were bad and the movie is pretty mediocre you know that your film is meh when you make Batman & Robin look like a masterpiece. Also the dumbest scene in the movie is when The Penguin tried to force Batman and Robin to take him in their cave so they could test him i mean why would they even need to test him that's clearly Penguin the Umbrella, the walk, his voice everything gave him a way but i guess the director tried to put some more humor. Also another annoying thing with this film was every time when they said something with the name 'Bat' in it like Bat-Ladder, Bat-Phone, Bat Gadget, Bat this, Bat that seriously? And Batman also says in his enemies what he is going to do with them that's new. Anyways if the Critics really want to see Ben Affleck's Batman doing crappy things like that then sure they could always watch this movie but for the rest of us the Dark Knight is not a joke and if he has to kill people in order to prove that then do it already. Thank God that Adam West didn't reprise his role in Batman 1989.
