Other than the strange character designs, I don't see why so many people are bad-mouthing this show.

This is the lay down: Millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne (good voice work from Rino Romano) witnessed his parent's brutal murder by an unknown gunman, and vows revenge against crime by donning the scary image of a bat. This series depicts Bruce in his third year as The Batman. The police still do not recognize him as a hero, but a criminal vigilante and are trying to capture him and find out who he is.

The famous James Gordon has yet to appear in the picture, so the GCPD is headed by a non-nonsense police chief named Angel Rojas (played by Edward James Olmos), whose top priority is to capture Bats. Batman is also pursued by police detectives Ethan Bennet (Steve Harris) and Ellen Yin (Ming-Na). Bennet thinks Batman is a hero, but Yin thinks otherwise.

Since this is Batman's "early years" as The Dark Knight Detective, the "costumed freaks are just now showing up. Our caped hero finds himself clashing with the likes of The Joker (brilliant voice talent from Kevin Michael Richardson), Mr. Freeze (a cold-hearted Clancy Brown), The Penguin (Tom Kenny), and Catwoman (Gina Gershon) and other familiar bad guys for the first times in his career.

The journey goes on as Batman struggles to elude police capture and save the city from evil rouge villains.

"Bring On The Batman!"

I'm STILL trying to figure out WHY they canceled this wonderful series. I would watch it every Sunday night and be hooked until the very end of the episode.

The reason I started watching this was because of The Joker. He is sooooo

funny! And that henchwench of his, Harley Quinn, she and The Joker are perfect for each other! I wouldn't mind watching The Joker and Harley getting on (oops, did i say that out loud?)!

Compared to other anime shows like Family Guy, Inuyasha, Superman, and

Futurama, this is easily the best. The endings of each episode always leave you wondering and longing for more! If you ask me, the best villains in this show would be the following:

1. The Joker (of course).

2. Harley Quinn.

3. Mr. Freeze.

4. Killer Croc.

5. The Penguin.

6. Two-Face.

7. Poison Ivy.

I first watched Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker when it aired on cartoon

network. I loved it so much, my mom got it for my birthday. Weeks later, I was surfing Amazon.com and noticed this had an UNCUT version on DVD. I ordered

it immediatly and saw the difference between the two! The uncut version builds A LOT more drama and suspense. There isn't much of a difference between the

two, except for the EXTREMELY disdurbing "flashback" scene.

I found Return of The Joker to be even better than any other Batman movie.

Return of The Joker beats even the brilliant Batman Returns by a LONG shot!

See the uncut version NOW! It is the best movie I have ever seen!

I managed to catch this flick on the ABC Channel's The Wonderful World of

Disney when I was sick with a cold one night, I decided to check it out because of all the good things I had heard about it at school. After watching it, all I can say is: it's entertaining, nothing more. Honestly, I just don't see what most everyone else sees in it.

Overall, I give LILO AND STITCH a 4.5 out of 10. PINOCCHIO and THE

RESCUERS DOWN UNDER were much better than this!

ALLIGATOR (1980) is yet another little known movie (as with DARK AGE). Why

ever it is not very popular is beyond me. The alligator looks very realistic, ALLIGATOR shows not all creature features need to depend on too much CGI,

like LAKE PLACID and BENEATH LOCH NESS.

ALLIGATOR is (obviously) similar to JAWS and BENEATH LOCH NESS. JAWS

was based on a book by Peter Benchely and an incident when a 7.5 foot great

white shark swam from the ocean and started raising cain in a local river.

BENEATH LOCH NESS was based from the Loch Ness monster ("Nessie")

legend. While, ALLIGATOR is based from an urban legend, ever heard rumors

about alligators living in the sewers?

ALLIGATOR is a superb, overlooked, classic, horror gem, and should NOT be

missed by fans of the Beast or Horror genre; or ANYONE for that matter!

That is what TV Guide called Pinocchio, Walter "Walt" Disney's 2nd animated film. I used to watch this movie all the time as young child, until my tape was eaten by a crapped-out VCR. I am now 16 and one day started thinking about this ever-lasting classic. I ordered from Amazon.com after I downloaded and listened to some midi song files from the movie (Hi Diddle Dee Dee and I've Got No Strings On Me). After I ordered it, I began to have my doubts about it. It had been such a long time since I had last seen it, so I didn't think it hold my attention. Boy, was I sure wrong! Only by watching for the first time again in years, did I remember how beautifully done the animation was (especially for 1940), how well the characters were voiced (Honest John, Jiminey Cricket, and Pinocchio himself are my faves), and how heartwarming the whole story is.

Too bad I an't talk my brother into watching it though, and he's 3 years YOUNGER than me. He'd rather watch stuff like Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights and Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.

I also reccomend that parents should buy it and watch it with their children, because it shows a good way to talk about why it is bad to tell lies and play hooky and such. For all of you blokes out there are complaining about scenes like the "Donkey Transformation" scene is too scary, that part was MEANT to be scary! Pinocchio is "children's" movie that has good reason to be scary. If you play hooky or lie, you will turned into a jackass (donkey) and get sold to mines, circuses and such as punishment. The Coachmen character in the "Pleasure Island" sequence illustrates this perfectly.

CROCODILE is very underrated. If you saw this movie and did not like it, you

must have overlooked some details, let me explain:

CROCODILE is a story that demonstrates the following:

1. DETERMINATION: After Flat-Dog (the crocodile) wrecks the teen's boat, they do everything they can to escape the reptile's wrath. Even when the angered

crocodilian kills thier friends, RIGHT BEFORE THIER YOUNG EYES!

2. REVENGE: An old hunter named Shurkin, who lives on an alligator farm with

his weird son has an obsession with Flat-Dog. Many a year ago, the croc had

slaughtered Shurkin's grandfather when he just a boy, which made him mad

enough. After that Flat-Dog got his father, the only thing that truley mattered in Shurkin's life was gone. Ever since then, Shurkin had been living on his father's gator farm, knowing one day, the monstrous Flat-Dog would show her face

again. And when that time came, Shurkin would be ready to even the score!

3. TRAGIC LOSS OF LOVED ONES: The teens lose many of their friends when

Flat-Dog attacks and pursues them, Shurkin also lost his grandfather and father to the animal as well.

4. A MOTHER'S LOVE: Now, this is the movie's number 1 point that everyone

seems to be missing! After 2 idiotic fisherman destroy Flat-Dog's eggs, the

mother croc is enraged and begins to take her anger out on everone she runs

into! When one the foolish teens swipes the already enraged crocodile's final, unsmashed egg, and places it into that girl's backpack, she begins to follow the teens around. Flat-Dog destroys everthing in her path to get her last baby back, just like any mother would do! I still cry evertime the egg hatches into a Flat-Dog Jr. and swims off with big mama. And Flat-Dog is so happy, she spares the

remaining teens a most painful death!

Dear Tobe Hooper, You have made a lot of interesting movies, in particular, the classic TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, but I think CROCODILE is your best

work to date and is VERY underrated!

I believe THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 is the best sequel in the

"chainsaw" series, needless to say it one of my favorite movies of all time. I think it is every bit as good as the original. It is the best sequel because it was directed by the Master of Macabre and Mayhem: Tobe Hooper, it also explains

what happened to Sally Hardesty from the first after she escaped Leather-Face: when that guy in the pickup truck helped her get away from Leather-Face and

his saw, she was sent to the hospital. There, she told the doctors that she "broke out of a window in hell," She babbled the most bizzare story anyone has ever

heard: A family of modern, cannibalistic hillbillies in an isolated farm house, chainsawed fingers and bones, chairs and funiture made out of human

skeletons, her brother and her friends captured and hacked for barbecue. After she told her terrifying tale, she sank into catatonia (she fainted from fear). So, the police launched a month-long man hunt. Despite a painstaking search, they could not locate the mad house. No crimes, no evidence, no bodies, no Leather- Face, no nothing.

13 years later, a couple of fun-seeking teens are driving down Dallas, Texas

and call a famed radio DJ so-named "Stretch." They continue to harras her over the phone until they are attacked on the road by a certain masked killer with a chainsaw, Leather-Face, good to see you again! Stretch records the screaming

a buzzing of the saw and takes it to Lt. "Lefty" Enright. Lefty is the half brother of Sally and Franklin Hardesty, and when he heard about Sally and her

nightmarish story, he made it a life mission to track down Leather-Face and

company and kill them to obtain revenge (how dramatic). So, Stretch and Lefty team up. Lefty asks Stretch to broadcast the tape with the massacre on it on

public radio so that the public (and of course, the police, who don't believe Lefty about his sister's "Chainsaw Massacre"). Drayton Sawyer (the cook from the

original) hears this on his radio and sends his 2 cohorts, Leather-Face and

Chop Top (the hitchhiker's late brother) over to the radio station to kill Stretch. But when the killers get there, Leather-Face FALLS IN LOVE with Stretch and

decides NOT to slice her into pieces. I think this element is good, because it shows that Leather-Face has something that most other killers and slashers

(like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers) do NOT have: EMOTIONS. Leather- Face may be a murderous idiot, but at least he knows what "love" is. He

"molests" her with his saw, try finding THAT in WEST SIDE STORY.

When Leather-Face and Chop Top leave, Stretch follows them to their "home."

Which is an underground layer beneath an amusment park (that's why the

police couldn't find them). She also meets Lefty there, too. When Stretch falls through a trap door into the Sawyer's layer, Lefty breakes out some chainsaws of his own, he bought two small ones and one really big one much like Leather- Face's. So, the vengeful lawman enters the Sawyer's layer to rescue Stretch and of course, punish the Sawyer family for what they did to her sister!

Nice work, I love ya' Tobe Hooper!

I say this because the villain, Judd, reminds me a lot about myself. He has

glasses just like I do (only without the scotch tape), he even has faint, facial hair like me. I have taunted and teased quite a few times at school before, just like the sex-crazed hillbilly, Buck does to Judd. In one scene Buck and one of his girlfriends come to Judd's "Starlight" Motel searching for a room to do the nasty in. Judd denies Buck entrance into his motel, but the sex addict redneck and his lady friend go in anyway.

In another scene, Buck steps out of his room because he keeps hearing the

screaming sounds of a little girl (who's father was killed by Judd's pet crocodile and whose mother was tied up by Judd inside another room in the motel) from

underneath the building. When Buck steps out, Judd punishes him for intruding in his motel by pushing Buck into the lake where the crocodile eats him ("That ole croc'll eat anything, even ole Buck!" I love that line). This kind of image pops into my head everytime some idiot bugs me at school. Their so annoying, that I wish I could feed their dumb@$$es to Judd's crocodile. So it was kind of sad

(but artistically ironic) when Judd gets eaten by his own pet at the end.

ALLIGATOR (1980) is yet another little known movie (as with DARK AGE). Why

ever it is not very popular is beyond me. The alligator looks very realistic, ALLIGATOR shows not all creature features need to depend on too much CGI,

about alligators living in the sewers?

ALLIGATOR is a superb, overlooked, classic, horror gem, and should NOT be

missed by fans of the Beast or Horror genre; or ANYONE for that matter!

This is the most haunting, disturbing, mind-blowing movie I have ever seen.

What's even more scarier about it is that it was based (very loosely) on a true story!

A group of five teenagers (Sally Hardesty and her brother Franklin and company) are traveling through a deserted road in South Texas, they stop by a gas station which is unfortunately out of stock on gasoline at the moment. As they split up and look for a house that might have some fuel, they meet the cannibalistic villain: Leather-Face and terror and unfathomable fear ensues from there on out!

There is nothing more disturbing about this modern horror classic than what these teens experienced during the young stage of their lives. They were hit in the skull with mallets, impaled on meathooks, hacked up with a chainsaw, stuffed alive into refrigerators, cooked up for dinner, and saw the most horrifying things, ever the would see in their entire lives! And the sadest part is: they all were only around 17 to 18 years old!!!!

This is a movie that is often misunderstood and should be taken more seriously. There is absolutly nothing more tragic and horrific than what these kids went through. Sure, for the first 30 to 45 minutes of the movie, they babble about nothing, but so what? Ther're friggin' teenagers! Sure, Frankiln Hardesty may be annoying, but so what? He's a friggin' cripple! Sure, Sally's screaming during the last 30 minutes may be irratating, but so what? She's a 17 year old girl who has obviously never been laid before and is having the most horrifying experience of her life at a young age!

Bottom line is: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the greatest horror classics ever made (especially for one made on a low budget), anyone who likes movies based (loosely or not) on ture events, should watch this movie NOW and know exactly what these poor teens experienced at an early stage of their lives!

CROCODILE is very underrated. If you saw this movie and did not like it, you
