"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was one of my favorite childhood movies. I remember first watching it on tv during a Thanksgiving weekend when I was maybe 8-10. When it came out on DVD I was thrilled and purchased it, only to discover that the title sequence was the only widescreen portion. When I saw this remastered release stating it was 2.20:1 I had to purchase it. I was thrilled to discover the entire film is now the right format throughout. The colors are amazing! I can't wait to get my whole family together for a night at the movies featuring ... "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"!

What's great about it: Finally the whole film is in 2.20:1 format

I like Danny Trejo, and when I saw this movie with him on the cover, I grabbed it. I wasn't expecting a great movie, but I figured it would probably be an ok B-movie. I was very disappointed, and honestly, I'm pretty easily entertained.
Danny Trejo, whose picture is featured on the cover, is not the main character, but is only in a small portion of the movie. They probably featured him on the cover because he is the only known name in it.
I didn't recognize any of the other actors. Their acting is "ok" at best.
My recommendation - Save your money! I wish I had! I wouldn't recommend getting even when it shows up in the $7.99 bargain bin.
I'm even questioning whether to pick up the "Dead in Tombstone" movie coming out in a couple more weeks. I like Danny Trejo but this was so bad, I'm strongly tempted to wait till I've seen it first before buying.
Batman continues to preside over the streets of Gotham City in this 4-film collection featuring Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin.
I wanted to pick up the Michael Keaton "Batman" movie on blu-ray, as I am a big fan. I was looking at the steelcase version for $14.99 and saw this version for $19.99. I am extremely glad I picked this up. For an extra $5 I ended up with all 4 of the pre-Chris Nolan Batman movies.
I was concerned that they may have been compressed to fix on 1 disc, but the package actually has all 4 movies on 4 separate discs, with each disc having its own special features. The only downside is that the discs are stored 2 per spindle. As long as you're careful, you will be able to watch them time and time again without scratching them.

What's great about it: 4 movies for a great price
What's not so great: 4 discs are stored on 2 spindles, not 4

I'm a big Batman fan and when I saw the trailer for this movie, I knew I had to have it. Picked it up as soona s I found it and watched that evening. It was very fun! I still think the best scene is when Superman is flying Batman and holding him by his cape, then throws him up into the sky to have him silhouette against the moon. Awesome! Was not disappointed!
