Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology 1989-1997 [DVD] [1989]

Brilliant little box set the keaton films are jaw dropping dark portrayals of the character that are stunningly written with fantastic art direction, the next 2 are a little more silly and goofy but still fantastic films in their own right and great villain depictions, val kilmer and george clooney do a great job at portraying the dark knight, but of course keaton is the star of the show

Good movies. The box set is also decent. The one set has the dvd contents printed the other way around compared to the front of the set but otherwise it’s fine. I don’t even consider that as a problem. It just happened. All that matter are the movies and they’re mighty fine. All four original movies are included and they are good quality. As to be expected.

Love Batman (1989) and Returns (Keaton & Burton) however I cannot stand the seizure inducing mess that is Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I appreciated those 2 when I was a lot younger, partly owing to them being in the cinema back then and there being a mass hype over them. But watching them now just gives me a headache. Forever is full of flashing lights and loudness and Batman & Robin.... well... less said the better really. It's a shame because they had the potential and could have carried the saga on nicely but it just didn't happen. Returns will always be my favourite. Has a slightly enchanting feel to it. I know that it was a summer release too but it feels like a Christmassy sort of film: the snow I guess. Anyway, this is a good set however some of the inside sleeve work is incorrect/doesn't correspond to the right film etc but really... who buys a dvd set to look at the inside covers? It is a good set JUST to say that you have all 4 original films but I think that you only really need the first two. Great price for all four.

I made the mistake of getting rid of this anthology, thinking I'd not get any more out of the DVD's. How wrong was that? I needed to view it as a collective work of art. There's nothing lifelike or profound about them, it's not making any large world statement, just that you can watch stuff like this time and again, and still get an enormous amount of fun out of it, you are on a trip to a wonderland of elsewhere. It's highly coloured razzamatazz, the actors obviously thoroughly enjoy themselves, it's almost dancelike in its presentation. Gotham city itself, could be a travesty of New York, but not quite, due to the excellent sets, it takes without apology, a crazy, multidimensional identity of its own. And of course the music makes the background sets, and actors marvelous acting, along with the care of the directors, come to a fantasmagorical (they threw away the mold when they made this) life of its own. However good the three modern versions of Batman are, (and they are good), however serious and dark, whatever profound statements are made, and however emotional the response from the viewers, nothing beats the partylike romping whoop of the first collection. May it go on and on.

Good product. Good movie

I'm currently going through a Batman phase after seeing Dawn of Justice last week. This box set takes me back to my childhood, I use to love having a day off school on the sick watching these movies. Well worth the money if you're a Batman fan!

Great Work

Thanks

todo perfecto, pero no hagais caso ha algunas opiniones, el audio es totalmente en ingles y subtitulos en arabe, por lo demas buena coleccion

Produit qui semble très bien, mais en langue anglaise uniquement (je parle anglais, mais je le voulais aussi en français...) J'ai retourné le produit gratuitement (merci Amazon !)

in den Rezessionen steht überall, dass die deutsche Sprache enthalten ist. Die Produktbeschreibung ist da eher dürftig und listet dies nicht auf, denn... DEUTSCH gibt es NUR bei Blue Ray und NICHT bei DVD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meiner Meinung nach, ist das Absicht! Die Box war ein Ostergeschenk für meinen Sohn. Das Gesicht, als er sie reingeschmissen hat und alles NUR auf Englisch ist, könnt ihr euch ja vorstellen! Ich finde: Sehr unseriöser Verkäufer!!!!! Ist mir hier bei amazon das erste Mal passiert! :-(

Me he comprado el pack a un precio más que bueno y había leído en los comentarios que traía audio en castellano y subtítulos también. Sorpresa la mía cuando abro el embalaje (que pone audio inglés), reproduzco la película y sólo contiene audio y subtítulos en inglés :(

Deberian especificarlo claramente porque muchas de las DVD del reino unido traen audio y subtitulos en castellano y otros idiomas.
