Batman Forever

Created: 15/01/10
This was probablly the last good Batman movie before the Nolan series began in 2005 with Batman Begins. The movie was at times a bit cheesy and a tad corny aside from that the action was pretty good the a acting was pretty good as well. I must say Jim Carrey stole the show as the Riddler. I have never been a big fan of Robin and with him making his debut in the movie that was what probablly kept me from fully enjoying the movie as he always seems to hold Batman back. The movie while not as great as Batman Returns in my opinion the movie was still very much enjoyable and I woule overall do reccomend seeing it if you are a big Batman fan or comic book fan.

What were you thinking Warner Bros.?

Created: 06/07/08
This was a major turning point for the "Batman" franchise, and it was not a good turning point to say the least. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't as bad as the movie it preceded(Batman & Robin), but it paled in comparison with the work Tim Burton did in "Batman" and "Batman Returns". Joel Schumacher was selected to make a new Batman movie that was more family friendly and nowhere near as dark as Burton's movies. The result was a bad script, a different less fit for the role actor playing Batman, and a lot of corniness and nostalgia taken from the 60s Batman that Tim Burton did so much work to keep out of his movies. If you are under 12, I'd say watch it and you'll love it. Otherwise, I'd say to go with Batman Begins from Christopher Nolan or one of the first two from Tim Burton.

Best Batman Movie

Created: 05/03/08
This is the Best Batman Movie Ever! The cast of characters is amazing. No actor can play Batman like Val Kilmer, he is the best. Tommy Lee Jones, Nicole Kidman, and Jim Carey are fantastic in their roles. If you don't have this one in you collection, You Are Batty!!!

Decent but not great

Batman Forever

Val Kilmer takes over as Batman and does a pretty good job. Batman Forever also introduces Chris O'Donnel as Robin. The villains are pretty cool (The Riddler and Two-Face) and the actors that play them do an admirable job.

Although a little too cartoony for me, I enjoyed this movie. The only problem I have with Batman Forever is that it gets old fast. Overall it's a decent Batman movie, but it's nothing spectacular.

Final Verdict:

3/5

Rent or Buy?: Batman Forever is a must buy, it gets old fast, but it's the kind of movie you can rewatch every month or so without getting bored.
