More surprisingly, the production work is by and large excellent. Nelson Riddle's musical cues are fun, and the design still looks sleek today - I'd choose Adam West's Batmobile over Michael Keaton's any day.
The acting is uniformly impressively improbable. The intense innocent enthusiasm of Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith and Frank Gorshin as the three criminals is balanced against the innocent calm of Adam West and Burt Ward, Batman and Robin respectively.

This movie is honestly camp fun and clever, the cast are great and the fights are hilarious with the Bat-Fight words popping up when either Batman (Adam West) or Robin (Burt Ward) have hit one of the villains, it's honestly amazing. Also, the villains are great and entertaining and they never felt boring for one second throughout this movie. Honestly, it's an amazing classic slapstick movie with the Cape crusader. Also, rest in peace to Adam West, he done an amazing job playing Bruce Wayne and Batman throughout this movie, rest in peace legend.

It may not be the most accurate, well produced, or entirely awe-inspiring film adaptation of the caped crusader, but it is certainly the most amusing.
Shot in the same campy style that characterized the TV show, all the cast members look like they are having a great time chewing up the scenery. Meredith as the Penguin and Gorshin as the Riddler are the villainous standouts.
An elongated episode of Adam West's 1960s Batman TV show. If you're not into that, don't even bother. However, if you're anything like me, get your Bat-popcorn ready to have a ball.

With the new Batman coming out this year, I took a look at the old one from 1966. I'm not gonna lie. I got a lot of laughs. You can't take this movie too seriously nowadays because times have moved on, and so has Batman's suit. Today though this movie may be laughable, considering the times I think they did well. The pace is fast. Batman manages to use a lot of his toys here. I don't think they've shown that many gadgets in any future film. There's always action. The main bad guys were great. Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and others were a great negative group. The only thing I missed was Two-Face. I was pleasantly surprised by the plot. Again, I admit that it's comical nowadays, but I still liked it and I'm satisfied in the finale. I liked it more than some of the new superhero movies. For example, I had more fun than I did with Batman Forever. So for me, a good movie, but one I would only recommend to the biggest Batman fans.

Half of the movie was enjoyable and good, the other half was just boring and too long.

Batman. Batcomedy batmovie. A boring and completely unforgettable comedy of the 60s. It may have been a great movie in those years, but now it looks very strange. Batman and Robin are jumping and saying almost clever things, while the enemies are running away. That's about the whole movie.

In all honesty, this film is unbearable to watch. The pacing is absolutely boring, it's not funny, the characters are stupid, it's extremely cheap in its production, the acting is either bland or annoying, the exposition is some of the worst I've ever seen in a movie, and has to pause every 5 minutes for some stupid, forced PSA.
In the film, Batman says "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb." Well, here's hoping I'm rid of this one.
