I'm not typically behind the curve on Super-Hero flicks, and technically I'm not really behind the curve here considering the film currently sits at a 4.4 average rating, but there are certainly more folks here rating this one five stars than with me here at 4.5 stars. This film does what it does extremely well, no doubt, but I'm gonna quote a friend who I saw the film with -
"It's a good movie, but I think it was just…
Batman takes on four of his arch-enemies at once! One of the silliest, campiest live-action films one can find is also the first live-action non-independently-produced superhero film - 1966's Batman. I don't think I've seen this one for 30 years and honestly I think I had forgotten that I had seen it in my youth, confusing this film with the television series that followed with the same actors and costumes. In watching it, however, I recalled the best memories of…
I was about to write this one off in act one, but then this guy does some crazy shit with some snakes then eats a live lizard the size of an adults hand. I think even Ozzy would have had more trouble with the feat than this guy did. That being said I think the lead actor is fine here, but where this film fails is in the script and in every supporting role. Other than a lizard being eaten…
Part two was better than part one. It's actually watchable on its own as it uses archival footage to re-show the important parts of the first part.

Regardless I enjoyed this one more than most of the other entries of this 50-film collection.

A giant film in cinematic history. This film might not have been the first historical drama, but its critical success cemented the genre as a big-budget money maker on the big screen, which documentaries had been seemingly trying to do since the inception of the film industry. There's really no telling how many more people have seen Niel Armstrong land on the moon in the introduction of this film than have actually pulled the events up on you-tube or elsewhere.…
I was stuck in between an avid fan and a raving cynic in the theater. The cynic was moaning and groaning at all of the dialogue, mumbling "Ugghh" and "Lame" multiple times at every scene and generally bemoaning all the character interactions in the film. The fan wouldn't stop cheering at every cameo, which was much more understandable and relatable from my seat. Needless to say I'm eager for a physical release so I can re-watch this one in comfort.…
