Batman (1989) [IMPORT] [Blu-ray] Review

I just viewed this Blu-Ray and while its an improvement over the 2 Disc edition as far as picture …its not as dramatic as I hoped for. That may be because the recent editions were pretty good or the source material being a couple decades old and very dark isn’t as suited toward eye popping blu-ray results as more recent fair. They’ve imported ALL the bonus features from disc 2 on the previous 2 disc edition on the single disc. I have viewed the other 3 re-issues and the picture does improve with each so I am assuming they’ve done what they can with the first one.

I purchased through amazon.co.uk for a scant 12 pounds, and it plays fine on my SONY blu-ray player…I don’t believe there are region problems on these.

Batman 89 review part 2 part 1 on 2 disc special edition DVD reviews 8.5/10 – J. Paul – hell MI usa
Continuing Burton has a gothic gritty dark style Nolan has a more realistic crime drama & realistic villains but I prefer Jack Nicholson’s Joker he felt more like the Joker but Heath Ledger’s Joker clicked very well for me too he just sucks you into his performance. No knock on Christian Bale his Batman just seems way to invincible & I do relate to Micheal Keaton’s Bruce Wayne more so than Bale’s. Honestly I wouldn’t compare 89 Batman with The Dark Knight I would compare it with Batman Returns. I know I have pï$$ê* off a lot of comic book fanboys & Dark Knight fanboys with this review.

GET IT!!! – D. P. Hutchens – San Francisco, CA USA
Absolutely do NOT waste your hard-earned dollars on the ludicrously-priced American boxed set of the four original series Bats. This British import is region-free and will play perfectly on U.S. BD players. Watched it on my PS3 last night along with all the supplements and everything worked without a hitch.

This 1989 original is still my favorite modern Bat-incarnation and it’s never looked or sounded better. BUY IT!

Very good movie – R. Bright – Oregon
Very good movie. I first saw this movie in theaters, then owned it on VHS well since I recently got a blu-ray this movie was a must for me to get. This picture was a big improvement. The reason I give it 4 stars is because of the dolby HD I have a 7.1 Surround and a reciever that supports Dolby HD and Was not overly inpressed with the sound. The music played good and some explosions but overall background noises not so good. I do love all the extras they put into this dvd. This is a must get Blu-ray thanks Amazon.
