Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology, 1989-1997 (Batman / Batman Returns / Batman Forever / Batman & Robin) [Blu-ray]

All 4 movies are fantastic classics. I rewatched these in 2024 and realized how good the third movie ”forever” was. I couldn’t find a fault. Such lavish visuals and good acting. I enjoy the fourth movie. There were some really great performances. Uma Thurman was fantastic and so was Arnold as Mr Freeze. Bane isn’t a favorite character of mine so I didn’t mind them not focusing on that character. And who isn’t happy to see Alicia Silverstone who turned Batgirl in the end? My only complaint would be George Clooney didn’t seem to take the role seriously. Still a good movie. I think these would be great fun action classics for the kids. But who knows what kids like these days.

Love the batman movie it's a must have must buy if you love batman this is one of the best movie ever reasonably priced on Amazon thank you Amazon sheila

Batman has developed a lengthy lineage in the cinematic world. From the grotesqueries of Tim Burton's mind to the performance-geated Schumacher productions, they're a diverse class of entities as unique as the times that they take place in. Now, in the reign of Christopher Nolan's masterful Batman pictures, do they hold up? Two do, two don't.It all boils down to this: Batman and Batman Returns are two very artful, thematically rich and gripping renditions of the Dark Knight, while Batman Forever only satisfies on a surface-level, make-your-eyes-bleed kind of way -- and Batman and Robin to an even lesser degree. They're all entertaining on some very mild level, though Burton's pictures are the only two that'll provide enough thought to match up with the modern-minded Batman aficionados. Schumacher's riffs on the series claim to hark back to the '50s and '60s comics while paying homage to the Adam West television show, which you can take as a reasonable explanation or not for their boisterous, obnoxious kid-geared demeanor. Overall, I'd still recommend the whole-shebang as a slate of interesting achievements in production design, action choreography, and cinematography across the board, giving Burton's pictures exceedingly high marks while relegating Schumacher's pictures to rent-worthy diversions, the latter being one perfect for rifftracking with friends.Speaking on quality alone without price necessarily in mind, The Batman Blu-ray Anthology comes with a firm Recommendation based on the strong visual and aural qualities matching the complete carry-over of the standard-definition box's slate of supplements. As a Batman lover it's certainly a blast to see all of these pictures presented in beautifully-rendered visual transfers and sounding nearly as good as they did in the theaters -- even if they now play second banana (or third, or fourth) to the new breed of Batman movies.

This is an 8 disc set in four volumes, each volume containing a movie and special features, somewhat suitable for family viewing. The reason I say "somewhat" is that I would not recommend these movies for small children to view as some of the characters and scenes may frighten them because either they are a bit on the gruesome side or because the characters are dangling in the air high above the city, and things like that can play on a little one's fears. Older children may not be so affected by them, though, and will probably enjoy them immensely.These four movies are not nearly as dark as the newer ones, and compared to the newer Batman films, are much more light hearted and very enjoyable. My opinion is that Keaton was the best Batman, but George Clooney is a close second - he didn't have the same Batman finesse but he made an awesome Bruce Wayne, where Keaton's Batman was awesome but his Bruce Wayne was far more easy going and laid back. I enjoyed them both.Val Kilmer's version wasn't bad, either, he was an alright Batman and an alright Bruce Wayne possessing the charm and integrity, but his look wasn't quite the same.All in all, I would recommend this set to anyone who enjoys Batman. I purchased these for Classic Cinema Online so that I can write my "Bat Review" based on Batman in Film - to include the movie serials from the 1940's, the tv series from the 1960's, and all of the Batman movies from 1966 to the most recent released, The Dark Knight, and am not one bit disappointed. This particular set, of all the Batman movies, is my personal favorite.It arrived on the day estimated and in excellent condition - I purchased mine new. No complaints whatsoever.

Realy liked early Batman movies
