4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best movie series you'll ever see!, November 17, 2001

This review is from: Ultimate Batman Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After all the Superman movies had been done, it was time for another hero to rise up on the silver screen..........BATMAN! Starting with Tim Burton's masterful "Batman", which is definitely the best of all, with Jack Nicholson as the sinister Joker, in one of the best roles of his career, as can be said for Michael Keaton as the Dark Knight. The sequal, "Batman Returns", is more of a horror movie, but is still really good, with Danny Devito striking it rich as the Penguin. The only thing is, the story revolves around the villians too much. The third, "Batman Forever", replaces much of the dark, moody atmosphere and replaces it with very cool comic book-style action. It also introduces Chris Odonell as Robi, and does a pretty good job. Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey are great as Two-Face and the Riddler. The fourth and final (atleast so far) enstallment, "Batman & Robin", is way more cheesy and, forgive me, stupid. The sets are fabulous, but the actors seem to be saying there lines, but thinking at the same time "God, I can't wait 'till lunch break", or "Just give me my paycheck and let me go home". You sort of have to be in a mood for mindless action and stunts that defy physics to really enjoy this movie. But, despite all the minor flaws........well, just see my title!

The Ultimate Batman Collection lives up to its name--three excellent movies for any movie collector. Batman, Batman Returns, and Batman Forever--great stuff!! Michael Keaton is in my mind the best Batman I've seen. He captures the character so well. Val Kilmer is also quite good, in my opinion. I think he captures the darkness of Batman very well. The villains are classic. Jack Nicholson is funny as the Joker, Michelle Pfeiffer is frightening and just amazing as Catwoman, Danny DeVito is perfect as the Penguin, Tommy Lee Jones is insanely perfect as Two-Face, and Jim Carrey is funny and out there as the Riddler. Chris O'Donnell does a great assist as Robin in Batman Forever. Watching each one just makes you want to watch the next one right after! Indeed, the last movie describes it the best: BATMAN FOREVER!!! (Might I add that Danny Elfman and Eliot Goldenthal both do great jobs with the musical score, with themes that stay with you long after the movie is over. Good job, guys!)
