Okay, 9+? That's the same age CSM gave to Tim Burton's Batman. My brother watched it when he was 5, and it's one of his favorite movies. He didn't pick anything up from it, get scared by it's violence, or anything. Trust me, him not being scared of it's violence is saying something.
One thing,are you crazy it's not a pg/13 movie , it's a pg movie!What do they do?Blow up people,or do they take machineguns and shot them up?It's a pg movie, that's all.
A great classic of 1966 based on the TV show. I loved this movie and merely wrote this review to encourage others, and to inform the parents of another non-mentioned violent scene that may help you decide if the movie is age-appropriate. During one particular fight scene, an unnamed criminal grunt falls into a booby trap, which catapults him out a window, and into the ocean, where he is blown to pieces by an underwater bomb. While no gore is shown, the result is obvious and an explosion is seen. Though the catapulted body is obviously a dummy, (leave it to 1960's special effects) it is still not a good "role-model-scene" that I think, kids under the age of 12 should not be viewing.
What do you mean, "won't appeal to today's kids"? This is one of the best movies I have seen. There is minimal violence, and Batman and Robin are, of course, trying to save the world. Drinking is portrayed as bad, with Robin saying to Batman,"You risked your life to save that riffraff in the bar?" Batman then tells him that the "riffraff" are humans too, and that they may be salveged.
This movie has very funny diolouge in some places, which made me laugh outloud! It is one of the greatest movies that a little kid could see. I highly recamend it.
This Batman movie is so stupid that it's FUNNY! The violence is kept down: every time someone is punched (which is not very often) the contact of the fist is covered with a cheesy POW! sign that pops onto the screen. It is corny and fun to make fun of. There is one suggestive seen, but otherwise it's FUNNY AND STUPID!
classic campy batman that is very mindless and predictable
ACTING- 3.5/5 (Adam West and Burt Ward give hilarious straight-faced performances)
SCREENPLAY- 2.5/5 (Although very predictable, its still a lot of fun and a joy)
CINEMATOGRAPHY- 3/5 (Average camera angles, lighting, etc. nothing new here)
ART/SET DIRECTION- 4/5 (I had to give a high score for art and set direction, the bat cave, four villains' submarine, the whole setting is fun and sometimes just plain goofy)
MUSICAL SCORE- 3.5/5 - The campy, classic original score does not disappoint die hard batman fans
Overall, this is a very fun movie that can make anybody laugh with its sheer stupidity, and goofy screenplay, i recommend to the more die hard batman fan
While this movie has zero educational value or positive messaging, it is fun, campy, entertaining and extremely tame by today's standards. It's a good introduction for young viewers to the batman lexicon. My son has watched this movie since he was four. It's our "go to" movie because he can watch it over and over again, and the adults don't mind watching it with him on occasion. It holds my son's attention, and we can laugh about it together.
I saw this movie at mt friends house and halfway though he fell a alseep.. but for my brother it was really funny. i guess it was a pretty cool one but older kids will exept more from it
this is a great kids movie but there are a couple reasons why it's PG
1. ther is one final fight scen ther is punching then and this "BIFF" or "POW" will pop-up
2. bruce wayne goes on a date with miss kitka and ends with a kiss.
so this is a good movie for family's to watch!
