Batman & Robin (DVD, 1997)

This Movie.... was panned badly by the fans and the critics.

However I enjoyed seeing Mr Freeze & Poison Ivy on the Big Screen.

The Governator was fun and Poison Ivy was hot!

Still Ok for a one-time rental DVD.

But not for those that like their Batman to be grim and gritty!

They've done it again!!! With an all-star cast, they break the barrier with a blockbuster hit. AND THEY JUST KEEP SWINGING!!! lol... Get it for your collection today.

always liked the set really good.was first of set and not my best but i liked it. i really liked keaton as batman.

I recevied for long time and the picture very good. I'd like. One thing i feel not feel, the disc i pay $.99 cents. But i pay $7.49 for shipping fee. Its too expansive on shipping charge. Pls let them know. Will buy again when the s/h if lower.
Thanks

Joel Schumacher, the director of Batman Forever, takes the helm to bring us another installment of the Batman quintology. It is, without a doubt, once of the single worst representations of the comic book-to-film genre. The visuals are overwhelming, using a combination of dark shadows and blazing neon color that induces a headache. It is as though Gotham City is an undying rave, complete with black lights and glowing body paint. Chris O'Donnell's corny Robin has about as much intelligence as a Bobblehead, though credit for that goes more to the scriptwriters than the actor himself. His opening gambit is the words, “I want a car. Chicks dig the car.” Duuuuh. Arnold Schwarzenegger provides and element of comic relief, but it's very low brow. One example is Dr. Freeze quote, “Take two of these and call me in the morning.” Why did Schumacher spend tens of millions of dollars to bring us dialogue one step above knock-knock jokes? Alicia Silverstone's character Barbara/Batgirl provides an interesting plot twist, but not enough to save the story.

The main disappointment, however, is Batman himself. George Clooney's Batman is hardly the dark night of DC Comics; Schumacher’s Batman resembles a pastel, melancholy hero you would find in a Good Housekeeping novelette. Contemporary, bland trust issues centered on Robin replace the internal torment of the DC Comics’ persona. Batman isn't concerned with his parent's death; he's too busy battling Poison Ivy's pheromones, rehabilitating psychopaths, and trying to play Batdad to Robin's delayed teen angst. As Clooney says to O'Donnell in one scene, "Friend, partner, brother... will you trust me?" If you are looking for a kinder, gentler, emotionally sensitive hero, then perhaps Clooney’s Batman is the bat for you. As for me, I felt like throwing up.

Batman Begins with Christian Bale is a much tighter parallel to the original DC Comics. The movie Batman and Robin is a polar opposite, having more in common with the Care Bears than criminal psychology.

Even though I watched this movie in the interest of comedy, I found myself groaning more than chuckling. Skip it. The best part of this film is the previews.

I love batman and have always read the comics and watch the movies will try and get all the dvds and comic movies

Everytime someone asks me what was the worst movie I ever saw, this movie always pops into my mind. That says alot considering me and my wife go to the movies every week. Miami Vice The Movie comes close but this one still takes the cake.

Thanks, it didn't take time before I receive and it was like in the decription. I hope to repeat business with you!!!

I was satisfied with this item that I recieved , it didn't take a long time to get it and my grandson loves batman. He has started collecting all the batman movies.

great, super fast shipping, A+++, highly reccommended, would deal with again, DVD was as described, I buy from sellers close to me, to save on shipping time

Received 2/21/09 in good time & band new still rapped and taped. Just in time for the weekend and night time enjoyment.

This is a fantastic movie for young kids. It's full of melodrama, action and silly one-liners that kids really get into. In my mind, it's akin to watching a comic book. As for us adults, I recommend reading a book or surfing the net if it's on the main TV. ;-)

I got a refund because I still hadn't received the item weeks after it was ordered. The only good thing about this transaction was the fact that every once in a while I'd get an e-mail telling me that the company was working out kinks and that they'd figure it out unless I wanted my money back.

I got my money back swiftly.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE EVERYBODY A HEADS UP ON THE DVD & VIDEO GAME BUYING BECAUSE LATELY WHEN IVED PURCHSED A MOVIE LIKE THIS ONE BATMAN AND ROBIN I WAS DISSAPOINTED BECAUSE IT WAS THE WRONG TITLE THE ONE THEY SEND ME WAS BATMAN FOREVER SO BUYERS BEWARE ALSO I GOT THE ORIGINAL THE FAST AND THE FURIOS AND I GOT TOKIO DRIFT WHICH ALSO SUCKED SO ALWAYS ASK THE SELLER TO DOUBLE CHECK HIS PRODUCT WELL LATERS EVERYONE
THIS IS FALSOE 1 ER PASADENA SGV......................

I never recived the DVD. REDTAG MARKET excused themselves saying there had been an error in the warehouse. They gave me the option to cancel the order or wait for a later delivery. I opted to wait because I really wanted this DVD. A few weeks later I received an e-mail saying I will be getting a refund and that they are unable to deliver the order. They did say that they might be able to deliver it at some future date and would let me know.
When I ordered it from e-bay Redtag claimed they had over 40 of this very DVD. Anyway, I am quite disappointed.

sure wish i could write a good review about this dvd but they was trying to sell me something the didnt have and ebay let's this go on.

I love Batman. But I don not love this movie. The filmmakers took all the little things that were cheesy from the first three movies and molded it into one in this. To me, the introduction of Robin is what ruined the original Batman series. I don't know if it was the character or if it was Chris O'Donnell, but regardless, it was not a good choice. The selection of George Clooney as Batman/Bruce Wayne is icing on the "cheese" cake.

It's the classic corny Batman movie. The only thing missing was the POW, BAM..etc...in the star balloons. The part I liked the most was when Batman was sitting on Alfred's bed. It was full of emotion. I think it's the most love I've seen from George..in any movie I've seen with him..including the love scenes he's done.

My son is a avid Batman & Robin fan and he earned some money and wanted to buy these for himself. The product was of excellent quality, I have watched this DVD with him and enjoyed it. We've had no problems with the viewing whatsoever, we are both very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She seen it once on TNT and tried to find it EVERYDAY since! I'd have to say that this movie is very recycled. It take bits and pieces from even older Batman movies and dumps them right in the mix. It's by FAR the most outragous of ALL the Batman films. Leave your reality check at the door for this one folks! It's SO out there it's not even funny. Very colorful and fun though just not very realistic, then again, it IS Batman! This was enjoyable but if you want a good Batman flick, Batman Returns with Danny DeVito and Michelle Phiffer(?) is the one for you!

Great action, awesome special effects, amazing performances by an all star cast. Great entertainment for the entire family.

I love Batman and Robin movies.
They are my inspiration.
I can't get enough of them!
Batman is especially hot in this movie.
I just purr the entire time the movie is on!

Everyone should watch all Batman movies.
Just HOT HOT HOT!
