The Wild World of Batwoman (1966)

What an unmitigated mess!, 26 May 2006

What an unmitigated mess! I know others have said something similar, but I had the same thought while watching The Wild World of Batwoman – it's like someone took portions from a half-dozen bad movies and randomly edited them together. It takes real talent to make something this bad. There is no comprehensible plot to speak of. The special effects are nonexistent. The Wild World of Batwoman takes acting to a new low. The comedy sequences are totally lame. In short, there's not one redeeming quality to be found in this movie. It's one of the first movies I've seen that the MST3K crew had trouble with.

If it's as bad as I say, why haven't I rated it any lower? There are a couple of moments that save this one from the dreaded "1" rating. First, there are a few scenes that despite themselves are unintentionally hilarious. As I said, the scenes that were meant to be funny fail miserably. But some of the scenes meant to be serious are laugh-out-loud funny. Second, any movie with this much dancing by scantily clad women deserves at least a point or two.

2/10
