Batman meets robin - Batman Forever Reviews

I think this was the best in the series. Val Kilmer gives a just as good performance as the dark knight. Tommy Lee Jones is perfect for Two-Face and Jim Carrey is The perfect Riddler. Also Chris O'Donnell plays Dick Grayson a young acrobat who moves in with Bruce Wayne and then becomes Robin and teams with Batman to seek revenge on Two-Face for the murder of his father, mother and brother. This is definatly the best in the series because of Robin.

60's style batman went out in the 60's - Batman Forever Reviews

The campy style of the 60's batman tv show is very prevalent in this film. It just does not work today. 60's camp is fun, but only in something that was ment for the 60's. People went to see this film for the simply fact that they expected the same style as the first two films. The reason why this film did so well, was simply due to the fact that it is the predessor to two great films. This film turned off most of the fans to the seires, thats why the next film did so poorly. When Joel Shumocker took over the directors chair from Tim Burton, he simply ruined the seires.

One of too many - Batman Forever Reviews

Its hard to keep the batman movies straight with so many of them. The fact that there anre many different actors playing batman doesnt help. On the other hand, the acting was well done and the plot was quite thought out.

Batman forever? yeah right - Batman Forever Reviews

What do you get when you take Jim Carry, Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris O Donnel, and Nicole Kidman? The answer alot of big named actors. If you cant get the Keaton back and Burton directing the movie what do you do? You start out on a clean sweep you get and up and coming actors that you keep for the next couple of sequels. It was pointless having Val KIlmer playing Batman( no offense Val but you played your best role in Real Genuis) because if you made a fourth he didn't want to sign on. Also Robin is not a 20 something year old kid when his parents die it more like 12 or younger. See what made Tim Burton first two Batman's a hit was that Keaton was still up and coming and also Pheifer (with the exception of DeVito and Nicholson). ANd also it was lighter then the first two. Thats why i really dont like this one and the next one.

Went on forever - Batman Forever Reviews

Batman Forever was dreadful. The first two batman films were good, but this is so bad I won't see the fourth installment "Batman and Robin." The worst part of this was the acting! They replaced Michael Keaton for Val Kilmer. This movie was made to be a weapon, but somehow it became a movie.

Bob kane must be turning over in his grave. - Batman Forever Reviews

This is the sort of movie that deserves to be dragged out and shot to be put out of its misery. God, it's just dang awful. First of all, Val Kilmer was never meant to be Batman, and even if he by some mistake up in Heaven was, why didn't he dye his hair black? Bruce Wayne ain't a sissy blonde haired guy that does not know how to act!! Also, Jim Carrey is all right, but after awhile all that tight nylon in his suit starts getting to his brain and he starts going a little crazy. Oh, and the special effects are gag awful. So, why even bother seeing this movie? Well, besides the rest of it, Chris O'Donnell does make a decent Robin and 'Kissed by a Rose' does sort of get stuck in your head after awhile. Overall, I hate this movie and think it should just be forgotten, except to show new Hollywood recruits what a bad movie looks like. It's like some big time movie guy took the dark drama that Batman was, took all of its dignity and humanity and made it into some big time blockbuster with big explosions and colorful costumes, like it was some stupid parade.

A new batman for a new director... - Batman Forever Reviews

Micheal Keaton is too old. OK, I'll buy that for a dollar. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the director was attempting to introduce an aspect of sex appeal to the film. Glow in the dark vehicles... of course. Batman travels at night.. by stealth, and should use a car that can be seen a mile away. Robin. Uh-huh. Well, at least Alfred didn't change too much. Carrey looked as if he had a great time filming and overshadowed a Tommy Lee Jones who just didn't seem all too comfortable at times. Val Kilmer didn't play all too bad a Batman, but didn't last long enough to do better. Shumacher was, at the time, a rather good director, but did little to advance the franchise except for bringing his own personal vision to light... and not at all what anyone else who paid to see the movie had wanted. The writing was on the wall. Bring popcorn, and plan a bathroom break.
