| Batman: The Movie : 2 of 5 | |

 Of course, I'm a Batman fan, which includes the classic campy series from the 60s. I had seen this movie (released after the first season of the series) on TV a few times, but one day I was at the mall and saw this DVD in a bargain bin for only five bucks! How could I pass that up? Several months later, I've finally made it through the whole thing - I had to watch it in several sessions, because even though the 30 minute show on TV is great, nearly two hours of it is just too much! The plot involves the four major villains - Joker (I always thought it was goofy that they put the white makeup right over Caesar Romero's mustache!), Riddler, Penguin, and Catwoman (who unfortunately is Lee Meriwether here - everyone knows Julie Newmar is the real Catwoman!), and a crazy scheme to "dehydrate" everyone in the United Nations for big ransom money. The good thing about the movie is the budget allowed them to build the Batcopter and the Batboat, which are really cool, but there are some absolutely goofy effects here (the shark attack at the beginning is one of the worst!). The DVD has some fun bonus material, including the theater trailer in Spanish! Anyway, even though I was bored several times (hence the low rating), it's still a fun movie (if you can take it!).
