Title: From an Old Batman TV Show Fan: 2.5 Laughs, 1 Star
Review: I grew up in the '60s watching the great old campy Batman TV series, and so I really, really, really wanted to like Legends of the Superheros. I laughed twice and nearly laughed a third time, all during the second half, the "roast" of the Superheroes with Ed McMahon. The rest of this dreary DVD wasn't clever enough to be campy; it was just bad. The talents of Frank Gorshin and other great actors were just wasted, and the actresses got to do virtually nothing at all, serving primarily as window dressing. Because it featured superheroes, and especially superheroes I like, including the very same Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) from the original Batman TV series, I made myself watch the whole thing, and even the DVD extras (including a villainously unfunny blooper reel). I'm sorry to say that this is the worst thing I've ever forced myself to watch from start to finish.
Is the review positive or negative?
