Batman | Rotten Tomatoes
- ️Sat Jul 30 1966
Batman: The Movie elevates camp to an art form -- and has a blast doing it, every gloriously tongue-in-cheek inch of the way.
Audience Member NUNCA RI TANTO, o filme em si é ruim, mas por ser ruim fica genialKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Ben W No option to delete. Just put stars in middle, sorry. 14th Sept 2024ce. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Carston M This movie is very outdated but in a sort of way that makes it better than several other newer Batman movies. Adam West and Burt Ward act in such a way that makes this movie a classic. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review David C Los efectos son buenos para ser de 1966 la historia es buena, chistosa y divertida Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Rami A It may not have aged well, but it certainly was great for its time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Lou T The world of comic books was a much different place in the 1960's. With the Comics Code Authority forcing all stories to be more family friendly, the Silver Age of comics saw a lot of heroes take on different roles in the wider world. Showing a much lighter version of the character, Batman: The Movie gives us a very different version of the character than modern audiences are used to today. Spinning out of the incredibly successful TV show, many of the shows cast members are brought in to reprise their roles for the big screen. With Adam West & Burt Ward as our lead heroes, Batman & Robin, they face off against 4 of their most conniving foes from the series. The duo are amusingly fun and the actors work so well off each other, as true pals. The acting, though cheesy, is quite charming as a time capsule of the time, with all heroes and villains creating delightful performances. The story plays like a rather long episode of the show and, while there are some very iconic moments, it gets very repetitive and boring as the story stretches longer. The visuals are a mix of cute and cheap, with the Batcave and villain lairs always looking as if they stepped off the page of a comic. The dialogue can go over the top at points, but it almost seems self aware of its own cheesiness while poking fun at it. Though it is often looked at as a joke, this may be the most faithful adaptation of Batman so far. Every moment perfectly encapsulates the 60's style comics, with the playful tones and bright, smiling heroes that were expected at the time. Batman: The Movie shows a wonderful insight into an older age of superheroes, but fails to feel like more than a longer episode of the series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Kaaapowie! Holy feature film, Batman ... one based on the tongue-in-cheek, campy 1960's television series. Watch Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) battle sharks, Catwoman, The Joker and The Riddler on the big screen. Can they try to prevent the bad guys from taking over the world? With a wham! and a pow! and a zip! ... our heroes just might win.
