The graphic novel series this is based on came out when I was in high school and to me was the defining Batman that I always had wanted but didn't know until I read it.
I wish Kevin Conroy from Batman the Animated Series had done the Batman/Bruce voice and Mark Hamill had done the Joker Voice. That;s not to say that the actors that did the movie are bad.
I know a lot of comic fans of the graphic novel were disappointed that Batman and some other character's internal thoughts/voiceovers were not included in the movie but that didn't really bother me. I realize that certain changes are made when stories switch media.
The best part is the epic fights between Batman and Joker and Batman and Superman. Any Batman fan should be sure to add this to their collection!

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Missing internal dialogue from the graphic novel
This is a fun film but can be slow for kids. My 10 year old finds it boring until Wall E get to the spaceship. He actually enjoys some of the games/activities on the extra disc more than the movie. If children can be patient enough to get where the other robots are introduced they will enjoy the film till the end.

What's great about it: Fun to watch the various robots and their jobs
What's not so great: Takes time to get to the action
I still say this is the best of the series. I recall seeing at the theater after popular word of mouth. Definitely a good time. I wouldn't not bother with parts 2 and 3.

This was a series I loved as a kid when it aired but it has not held up well over time. The fun in the series is looking at the continuity errors between wide shots and closer shots. At times you see Uhura at Communications in a wide shot but in the close up it is the Cat Lady character. Also after watching a few episodes you realize that Filmation recycled the same music over and over. Just remember that this was aimed at a younger demographic and at times it really throws logic out the door. Also be prepared with lots of sequences that show the characters walking in the distance in shadow form. This is good for mindless silly fun.
What's great about it: Good Price and original cast voices
What's not so great: Not considered to be official Star Trek continuity
I would recommend this to a friend!
