Batman: The Movie 1966 (Movie Review)

[FullMetalEva69]

A 5.8? You do not know a good "camp" fest when you see one. I don't care how old you were when you made this, some one should have made sure you knew what a GOOD campy movie is all about. This movie is at least a 8 or 9 BECAUSE of its cheese factor. Study your history and do an up-dated review to this. Give it a second chance and watch it again after you do your homework. Watch some of the show then watch this again. Trust me if you like GREAT cheese, you'll find the spot for this.

[Tre404]

You, young sir, are clueless. You are truly wandering in the dark in your comments. And your phrase "over-exaggerating" is redundant and stupid. Stick to reviewing Justin Bieber and Twilight movies, things you most likely know MUCH more about!

[MrFishook007]

your a douche Bag!

[FSMGauss]

are you kidding me? this is literally the funniest movie i have ever seen in my life! i have never laughed as hard at anything else.

[tellymad649]

I got dragged into the 60s Batman a few weeks ago when my dad was saying that he felt it was a great show. And when I found his movie, I loved it, I thought it was absolutely hilarious and enjoyable.

[MERVskilton]

Happy 82nd Birthday Adam West the original BATMAN (19 Sep :-)

[tameevilmateo]

I happen to really like those episodes

[daggerstain]

i liked ur review. but overtime the movie got so ridicolous. it turned pretty comical lol :P

[tomandkelly]

You dont know shit about the original Batman. Your Daddy was too young to remember the times.

Get lost punk.

[kirkindysolospock]

I was actually hoping for a review, some kind of critical examination. Instead, I got some lame kid who doesn't know what he is talking about, with his inane opinions. He makes himself look so dumb and stupid, I'm surprised he doesn't take down this video. Maybe he should 'review' a paper clip, or a pet rock, something more up his alley. Or maybe he should 'review' the English language, looks like he needs a refresher course, if he even graduated high school. F- on this 'opinion' video.

[moofdogcow]

Immature? Wow - pot calling the kettle black much?

Swear more in your reviews.

It gives you credibility.

Get over yourself, kid. The movie was never meant to be taken seriously. If you think it was, you missed something.

Also, stop being a homophobe?

Personally, I loved this movie - it made me laugh, it made me cringe - but it's so memorable!

To each his own as far as your feelings about it - but realize what you're reviewing before you go and bash it.

[ABEY73]

this kid is full of shit if he grew up in the 70s he woulve apreciate this more! this is the cooest thing we had then! now days fucken teenagers r too damned sploiled to enjoy stuff like this!

[Gamewitzer]

Either you're a troll or a fucking dumbass.

I take this over the nineties (forever and all that bullshit) batman anytime.

[mikehonchobumcheeks]

You probably thought This Is Spinal Tap was a serious documentary too.

Come on, a porpoise sacrificing itself by swimming into a torpedo, shark repellent spray, "sea for catwoman", dehydrated minions.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that this movie is pure satire.

[DoktorSchn4bel]

WHAP

SPLOOSH

URK!

[Ravage002]

sounds like this review was done by a 4 year old who was stoned on marijuana.

[SamLowry99]

lolololol YOU are calling this immature and juvenile?

what a moron!

[AnthonyNiroshan]

CAT WOMAN IZ SO FINE AZ HELL

[TheElloGuvnas]

What the hell? The 1966 Batman movie was freaking amazing. Maybe you should "give a chance" to sticking to other stuff.

[Dante1SavageFilms]

good video, I love Batman, but keep in mind, this was the 60s, thats why it worked.

[warlockboyburns]

i think it's a cool movie... IT'S ART!

[warlockboyburns]

i havent slept for 48 hours i think that will help me enjoy this movie

[AlanDMoore]

This review is absolutly stupid.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

Not everyone in the 1960s was or is on drugs.

This movie was based on the campy tv show.

It was meant to be fun.

I agree it was silly.

You are a Jackass!

[gazomu]

A child based audience? To be on drugg to appreciate? Come on, this is the best batman: so pop art, so ironical !

[fjccommish]

This review is ridiculous.

[strikerk]

You probably thought Naked Gun and Hot Shots were supposed to be serious action movies.

This movie was MADE TO BE SILLY you idiot.

[drspecter]

Apparently, little dumbasses who think using the word "fuck" makes them cool don't like the 60s Batman. How surprising. This is a good example of what happens when teenagers discover the idea of cynicism and think it's for them, but don't have the life experience or vocabulary to back it up. What you're saying is wrong with the '66 movie is actually wrong with the idea of Batman and every incarnation of it. What the 60s incarnation did was inject a sense of irony it desperately needed.

[ironmngr]

Shut up kid this was the best Batman movie EVER.

[Joeey]

It's camp, my friend. It is not meant to be serious. It is entertainment.

[eilrahchd]

Wow... you REALLY missed the point of this movie! The diagloue and story are meant to be stupid. The film is ironic, its funny. You really could not have had a worse understanding! At no point was this film meant to be in anyway serious! I really can't believe that as a 'movie critic' (an amature film critic, by the looks of it, as you really don't understand this movie!) you would just look at the surface of this movie, and not look at the large amount of underlying, and also obvious comedy.

[RunandGunPictures]

The costumes rule. You are a fool. And yes I know that rymed. PS They are not gay.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

lol, hmmmmmm, made in the 60s. Did they use drugs back then?

[PAULLONDEN]

.^-^.

[starwarsgg]

your a fuckig fagit your like 12

[AdrianHoliday]

but the real roots of Batman are from the comics from the 30s and 40s, not the 60s show....unfortunatley the 60s show was the first major adaption of Batman on screen and it wasn't until Burton's films over 30 years later to give the super hero justice in the public eye

[ChocolateZebraFilms]

actually, the ORIGINAL batman comics were from the 20's. there was a show in the 20's, so you know the comics couldn't have come out till just before the show.

[Thin182]

There couldn't be a show in the 20s 'cause televisions weren't available commercially 'til the 30s.

[RunandGunPictures]

It was called a movie serial. Think of it as a TV show with a month break between episodes. Usually shot in 13 chapters.

[Thin182]

I know about the film serials, thanks, but they weren't made 'til W.W. II. I think 1944 or '45, not the 20s as ChocolateZebraFilms was saying.

[menehunealoha]

Batman was "born" 1939......

[firewood08]

You just have to be a hardcore Batman fan.

[Cocainetheclown]

i love watching this batman High

[fjccommish]

I can review Matt and his movie review with one word - crap!

While this Batman movie is campy, it's fun to watch. Matt's review, like, isn't.

[Gjeorje]

-They say Americans have no sense of humo(u)r,....or irony.....and take themselves too seriously.....and they,re right. You wanted a darker, grittier Batman?! -What next? a darker, grittier Santa? -This movie (and show) show how much America has lost it since.

[BrianTerrill]

5.8 out of ten is nice. Christian Bale's Batman makes sense, you need a bullet proof outfit that scares the living hell out of criminals that come out at night, and something that glides from building to building isn't so bad either.

But why the hell does the Batman in Batman the Movie dress up like a blue bat and run around with what looks like his young boyfriend in the middle of the day? Spandex won't protect them from bullets not that the criminals in this movie use anything deadly.

[ActionHero100]

i love the show and the movie

[MetallSwede]

"couldn't take this movie seriously"? gee, i wonder why ^^ lol .. but admit it, you, me... we all loooooved the batmobile :)

[DLS291977]

That was fun! I loved the review! Your review of this film also applys to the dumbass film Street Fighter with Van Damme.

[Sarge174]

Its not stoner comedy, its meant to be way over the top and stupid, thats the humor. But if it isn't funny for you, then me explaining the humor won't make it funny. But watch it again and think about what they were going for.

[ColonelPhillipGreen]

hey kid reviewing this movie...

the show and the movie were made campy and comical on purpose and it was hilarious, stoned or not, (wonderboy or not).

when you grow up you will appreciate the adult take of this better.

[yelloiamjeff]

Finally I can bash this piece of ______ movie.

[supermanl79]

This is a classic movie, you don't need to be on drugs. This is a throwback to the classic camp Batman style, if you are a Batman fan or just enjoy a fun movie this is the way to go. The style of the show/movie was to be campy and set towards kids. Those who grew up with this experience love it, I love it, kids now love it. You have to have a certain respect for the time frame as well. The new movies much more what Batman should be, but this is just pure fun Dynamic Duo.

[Robthewild1]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE! And I dont even dare touch drugs LOL

[wwb16]

Do a Btaman and Robin review!

[McCoyFan]

Hahahahahaha! That was a funny review, but I can't still help but like the series. =D

[zanafarr]

Hmm, I should try and cover this in one of my reviews eventually.

[artosin]

no ideal, in those years the cinema was in the years of merchadising, xd, I grow whit this movie, since a kid, later whit tim burton films, schumacher films, chris nolan films, etc, really I enjoy all the batman films, read my post comments on robocop 2 ending are great.

[ABEY73]

to tell u the truth i rather see this than batman n robin or batman forever now that is stupid! if this movie was dumb is because back then movies were a lil campy, even my lil niece likes this movie

[BTMN39]

hey this is the dc icon batman the real batman you usedto read about in the pages of dc comcs so whant do you think of matt's rewviwe of my 1966 movie batman the movie?

[BTMN39]

don't listion to matt at all frist of all the batman's movie from the year 1966 was whated by both childrans -n-grown ups -n-2-nd of all matt doesn't kown any thing about myself-n-robin -n-plus matt is a ain't a batman-n-robin any way -n-i think that matt is on aict .

[artosin]

yeah, I grow in my childhood whit this batman, too, 60 s series rocks too!

[BTMN39]

hey artosin do you think that any one was on drugs to enjoy this movie from the year 1966?

[binorwin]

"Batman" The movie was "American"

at a time when Amrerika was the "UBer Power" of STLYE' Sex, &< Consumerism & Technololgy!!

Trust me, you had to be there to brlieve it!!!

[BTMN39]

was america BATMAN is still america just america as apple pie.binorwin.

[toastysock]

I don't think you fully appreciate the fact that this was the 60s. Most films were like this back then. Adaptions from comics or not. Also, you overuse the 'childish', 'silliness' and 'immature' side of it.

Dude. It was a fucking COMIC. Do you even know what that word means?

[NINmastagNIN]

Batman started out dark. He even killed in the very early years.

[Bobzeaux]

You thought you'd "give it a chance"?

[BTMN39]

aparalee this young man who's rewving my movie from the year 1966 realy doesn't one thing about the batman-n-robin so sdd.sign the batman-n-robin.

[HotBloodedManlyMan]

Batman's "Source Material" were the Detective Comic issues from the 40s. The darker tones and whatnot stem back to the 70s and 80s though.

[jamesosman]

Just give this guy a brake i mean to be honest hes a bit righty but yeh what i think is its sort of silly but i like it i mean its like monty python but much more imattuire and for kids.kids like it well kids like evertything thats cartoony based if tya know what i mean and i know adults like it aswell because its imature so....

[garyco99]

Dude, your an idiot. Back in the 60's these were FAMILY films, technology was not that great, it was a comedy. Get real fool, Give up being a critic, you know shit.

[maxhavoc2000]

"this is the original source material"... WHAT?!?!

[hardlyharhar]

Each batman movie reflects batman at the time when it was made. In the 60's batman was cheezy and kid friendly. If you ever read a batman comic from the 60's they match the movie in its look and cheezeness. Adam west rocks.

[Hiroshi1970]

This is a fucking crap!

[Matty272]

You don't have to be ondrugs t like this film, you just have to love the absurd.

[michaelbogardus]

I reject your review, and substitute my own.

[Sakuraslover953]

Dude YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT! You fon't even get the moie at all! I mean, I younger than you and I get it

[CaptainFooFoo]

You just couldn't take it seriously? It's not meant to be serious. It's a comedy. I first watched it as a kid and thought it was a comedy too...then I saw it in my 20's and realized it was a comedy. You look about 15 so you're probably still a few years away from getting it.

[eyelark]

you know nothing about batman.

[FetterZ]

dude.... it's a comedy. even then the humor was supposed to have the cheesy, stereotypical 60's values. and it's meant to appear rediculous and random. learn some shite about the movie before you bash it, dude.

[CultofJ]

Stoner comedy ... yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me. But c'mon, don't pretend you don't know Robin's name! You know it's not Wonderboy. Admit it!

[000266617]

In my area when the Tim Burton version came out, some theaters put this 1966 movie on. The old version wasn't serious, but the whole family could watch it. YOur review was a little confusing. It's like you contradict yourself and couldn't make up your mind. You could have just said it was a family friendy cartoon with live people.

[ProgBartleby]

Kid..you have no clue. This movie is a campy classic. The original TV series had little humor..and the makers of the movie purposely created a wonderful self-mockery. It was genius and lol funny. "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!"

[brakie1978]

Adults loved the camp humour and kids loved it cause its Batman. One of the funniest shows ever .

Apparently the guy who played Commissioner Gordon thought it was a serious show!! And couldnt understand why people were falling around laughing. lol

My personal fav is any episode with the Riddler

"Wots yellow and writes?" ...."a ball-point banana"

"wots dangerous and sits in a tree?"......"a sparrow with a machine gun" LOL

Classic

[xviolentphilx]

swear to God? SWEAR TO ME!!!

[bobkane66]

Hi:

If you are a bat-fan, must see in Ebay the awesome model kit of the 1966 batcave from tv show!

Search with this words: Batcave TV 1966

[1985Nebraska]

I watched this a lot as a kid. My parents taped it off The Family Channel back in 1992, when the reruns of Batman were still aring.

[GeorgeLipton]

In the original comic book(1930), it was dark and violent, Batman KILLED people in cold blood. then due to some whacked out doctor who thought comics were sacraligous, he wrote a book, causing the comic book code to be created around the 1950's, Batman could no longer be that way, so they made it colerful and campy, and also established Batwoman(NOT BATGIRL!!!) into the comics because there was a supposed Homosexual innuendo in there.

[maltshop8]

got a say dude great review and funny at times

[darkfire990]

Umm, this isn't the original batman, only the first television series o.o

The original is the comic book version...

[andrew84uk]

Hilarious review.  I'm tempted to pick it up on DVD purely for comedy value!

[rorbin]

It was meant to be campy.

[CinemaReviews]

Yeah but I probably went overboard on the criteria I layed out for a good movie. It didn't mean that I didn't enjoy the film. It certainly captured the essence of the show.

[navron9009]

Nice, it's great, it's bleeped, EXCELLENT!!!

[CinemaReviews]

Thanks man! Yeah I thought I would through a more attractive icon for the videos. Sort of a sign of respect to the film. And well it looks nice.

I guess I'll see you on the last week of school tomorrow. I didn't really bother changing the videos to much because it would be too much work and I'd be wrecking the original.

I almost fell asleep watching the children of men review.

Thanks for watching these. I'll give you a hint on the next review. It's called "The M******".

[navron9009]

Okay I know it starts with an "m" is it "The Mummy", oh yeah and is the number of stars correspond to the number of letter?
