Who is buying "Batman The movie" on July 1st? - Blu-ray Forum

tron3 · 06-29-2008, 10:36 PM

This is the 1960's one with Adam West and Burtward. I picked this up on DVD a number of years ago as it was only 7 bucks. But do I now want to spend 28 bucks on the blu-ray version?

I mean, I am sure it will look great, but 28 bucks worth of great? Almost pointless as I have no current plans to buy all the batman movies on blu-ray. This one is significant because it is from my childhood.

Should I get it or will the Joker be on me? Great cover art though.

Thoughts? Feelings? Rants? Flying words like pow and zap?

i'll be picking this up, probably not on day 1, but eventually. i loved this movie as a kid.

Blu Titan · 06-29-2008, 10:44 PM

I really want to buy it, and I know I will enjoy it, but I am not excited about paying $27.95 for this. As soon as I can get it for $20, I am in.

Same for me and the series too! I'll get it on sale some time.

This movie interests me, I don't think it's a rush out and buy movie, but, one to have in your collection.

I've got it already and I loved it. I watched the TV show as a kid but had never seen the movie until now. It was a lot of fun.

I'm a big Batman fan, but $28 is way too much. Fox really needs to lower the prices on their catalog titles (say $19.99).

The special features sound interesting.

Just realized that this is a Fox title

That explains the unreasonable price.

For anyone that is interested the lowest price I have found is $22 (free slow shipping) from Buy.com via Deep Discount.

I'm certainly gonna try to get it as early as possible. I'll probably order a studio master complete series(DVD) set sometime as well.

I did not enjoy the original Batman movies.

I want this nugget of garbage as much as I want a Blu-ray copy of Batman and Robin. My first Blu-ray Batman movie will be the new one coming out.

Since the OP invites "Thoughts? Feelings? Rants?", I don't think you can admonish sleazypig for his post.

Sorry to hurt your feelings but Batman the movie sucks. Its not my fault its crap.

jceperley · 06-30-2008, 03:05 AM

I'm not getting it on the 1st, I'll probably get it tomorrow. You see, Tuesday is a holiday up here, so most releases (including Batman I believe) have been moved up to Monday.

The thing though is that I'll probably be getting it on DVD, mainly over the price point. If it were to run like most catalog titles at $25 or so, then hell yeah, it'll be blu for me. But it's more like $35, which is a bit much in my opinion. Unlike the Burton or the Nolan Batman's, I don't see a point in this one on blu-ray unless I hear some good word of mouth.

RCO · 06-30-2008, 03:15 AM

No question for me---I'll be picking this one up for sure----I love this movie!! Is the series available?

His point was that you crapped the thread not that your opinion was wrong or right. Imagine I went into a thread of your favorite movie and just started calling the movie crap without stating the reasons why?

Makes me all nostalgic

It is a silly movie, but it is a fun viewing.
