Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Leofwine_draca What begins as a dreary, foreign-language comedy (not funny) with no fantastic elements picks up after the first half-hour and turns into a crazy BATMAN rip-off, complete with cheesy action, even cheesier costumes, over-the-top acting and even song-and-dance routines! Yes, another movie strictly for cult film lovers, ALYAS BATMAN EN ROBIN is an oddity made on the cheap in the Philippines, where the occasional line is in English while the rest of the dialogue is in the Tagalog dialect - making for a very odd listening experience! As well as this, the numerous song-and-dance numbers are also in English, which makes a romantic number halfway through and the sing-along finale (complete with a midget Spiderman for good measure) real laughs.Intended as a comedy, as is often the way with these movies, ALYAS BATMAN EN ROBIN is often unfunny when it tries to be so, but unintentionally funny when it does not. The cast is made up of Filipino comedians who wink and talk to the camera, and their enthusiasm - if not their skill - shines through. The so-called "comedy" highlights include a band of villains breaking into a bank to discover it's a blood bank (groan), and an episode in the "Batcave" where Batman shows off his collection of Bat-milk, Bat-tea, Bat-coffee and Bat-juice! Other humour includes a girl's bikini top getting torn off (just like in CARRY ON CAMPING), a jailbreak through the sewers and much snivelling, whining and maniacal laughter on the part of the guy playing the Joker, who you end up wanting to kill.The very, very low budget makes it look like someone just took a cheap camera out into the back streets and began filming, which they probably did. Little imagination is displayed in the plot, which just has Batman and Robin fighting the Joker and the Penguin; with the latter getting captured and escaping over and over again. The costumes are true to the original television series and there are some nice touches, and the final hour of is nothing if not lively. My favourite scene is where a bank robbery turns into a song-and-dance number. ALYAS BATMAN EN ROBIN - real one-of-a-kind entertainment with lots of fun action!

madreinman Well for one thing, this movie is not weird. It has the Filipino blend of comedy. Meaning it would be wacky, tons of slapstick, hilarious dialogue and of course a song or dance scene. This spoof of the popular Batman and Robin characters never let me down for a knee slapper. The costumes are poor imitations from the old Batman television series. Joey De Leon's antics as Batman and his real life son as Robin was nothing but classic Filipino comedy. Joker was the best villain in the movie. The laugh of his was immortalized by the late Rene Requiestas. While Tiyo Paenguin was played by one of the Philippines' top comedians, Panchito. The tandem works well and the on screen performance is nothing but short of laughs. However corny or cheesy the movie gets, Filipino's comedic innovation is at its worst and best.

fab-one A very cheap, boring "version" of the dynamic duo. Anybody at DC Comics should file a case against those who are responsible for this crap. This is a complete diss Bob Kane and the million and million of Batman fanatics!

Yonhap S This movie features Philippines' funnyman Joey De Leon taking on the mantle of Batman. The story is actually a parody of the popular 1960's TV show and has absolutely nothing in common with the current dark Batman movies, comics, animated series, save for the costumes and the aliases. The producers couldn't change the names for something that sounds cool. They wanted a Batman parody and how can you change a name like Batman? Not surprisingly, Regal Studios went into legal entanglement with Warner Bros., but it looks like Regal won.Watching the movie from a a strong critical viewpoint, the movie is totally pathetic. The movie is simply made for fun, even poking jokes about Batman, such as the bat-synonyms: Bat-coffee, bat-juice etc. Most of the humor is made for the country of origin (Philippines). Batfans may have hated Warner Bros.' BATMAN & ROBIN for ruining the franchise. This one takes no pretensions of its inspiration. The ending features a weird dance number by "superheroes" from both Marvel and DC. If you're a batfan, you just might want to check this movie out for sheer curiosity.
