Reviews:

_Batman & Robin_ is fun in exactly one way: Fun to laugh at. It’s terrible, God is it terrible, but it’s terrible in that right kind of way. Doesn’t stop it from being terrible, but does make it worth watching.

Joel Schumacher delivers us the final nail in the lid of Batman’s coffin with none other than George Clooney in the guise of the Caped Crusader, probably the worst on screen Batman we’ll ever see. Clooney was actually a pretty inspired choice if you’re thinking solely about the billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, but ask any Batfan and they’ll tell you: the character’s true identity is Batman, Bruce Wayne is just a mask he wears.

Finally, this isn’t a real complaint but something that I’m going to address anyway: The Batman movie with Batman and Robin is called _Batman Forever_, but the one with Batman, Robin and Batgirl is called just _Batman & Robin_? Go figure.

_Final rating:★★ – Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

**_Easily the best of the four_**

Staunch fundamentalist fanboys have declared 1997’s “Batman & Robin” to be a blasphemous blemish in the superhero’s chronicling, but it’s easily the most entertaining of the four Batman films that came out between 1989-97.

Let’s face it, all four of these flicks have the same cartoony tone. They were a couple rungs above the 60’s TV series in campiness, but with better costumes and a super budget. And “Batman & Robin” was the most entertaining of the four. I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan of the goofy/surreal style of these movies; I prefer Christopher’s Nolan’s raw realistic approach in the Dark Knight trilogy (“realistic” to a point, that is). It’s just that “Batman & Robin” is the most entertaining of the earlier series. Which is why I never got the whole “Tim Burton’s Batman is a masterpiece” mindset. Really? Not to me. It LOOKED great, but the story was tedious.

Again, all four of these films have the same general cartoony tone and there’s simply no validity to the position that Burton’s “Batman” or “Batman Returns” are more serious/realistic in approach compared to Joel Schumacher’s “Batman Forever” and “Batman & Robin.” I’ve seen ’em all back-to-back and they each have the same colorful we’re-not-taking-this-too-serious style.

For anyone to enjoy these films you have to be willing to accept the comic booky world the filmmaker’s have created. If you’re willing to do that, these can be fun, half-serious Batman movies. You can’t watch them expecting the tone of “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight Rises” or you’ll be severely let down.

With this understanding, “Batman & Robin” is my favorite of the four. Here’s why:

– It has the best Batman/Bruce Wayne in George Clooney. Although Val Kilmer has the better Bruce Wayne demeanor (i.e. grimmer), Clooney just LOOKS like Wayne. In addition, he’s charismatic and entertaining in the role from beginning to end.

– It has the best sense of family between the inhabitants of Wayne Manor. The warmth and camaraderie of Bruce, Dick/Robin (Chris O’Donnell), Alfred and Barbara/Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone) is a pleasure to behold.

– It has Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl. Nuff said.

– It has Uma Thurman shining in the role of Poison Ivy. I usually don’t find tall, thin women appealing (I’m more attracted to females akin to Silverstone), but I have to admit that Uma completely owns the over-the-top role of Poison Ivy and is thoroughly alluring.

– Arnold Schwarzenegger is great as Mr. Freeze. Yes, every time he merely opens his mouth you know it’s Schwarzenegger, but he’s amusing and he has a great look and costume.

– The film has heart. Although Poison Ivy is truly ee-vil and gets her comeuppance, you can’t help but sympathize with Freeze’s love for his wife and desire to resurrect her. Batman is able to see under his icy veneer and see a warm heart that’s willing to accept redemption and make restitution. Furthermore, as noted above, you really feel the love of Bruce and Alfred and the others at Wayne Manor.

– Lastly, the film is full of vibrant colors and goofy over-the-top thrills. It’s just a fun movie, if you’re in the mood for a half-serious/half-campfest superhero flick.

I also like that Smashing Pumpkins song that plays over the end credits.

The film runs 2 hours, 5 minutes.

GRADE: B+

Quite Possibly the Worst Movie Ever
Don’t get me wrong, the old Adam West Batman TV show was certainly funny, and given the times, a more accurate representation of what Batman was trying to be wouldn’t have succeeded nearly as well. But the show still betrayed all the emotion and grimness of Batman’s themes.

In Batman & Robin, Schumacher seems to be getting back to those roots. He treats the entire Batman franchise like a joke. Even if it was funny, this would be betraying the name of Batman. But here, seeing as it’s NOT funny, it only succeeds in becoming the worst of the Batman movies, and, arguably, the worst films ever created. And I’m taking into account Plan 9 From Outer Space, Gigli, and You Got Served.

George Clooney just plays George Clooney. Which is the road he usually takes, but this suave, dashing, and charming Batman seems more like Mystery Men’s Captain Amazing than the crimefighter of legend.

There’s Chris O’Donnell, the angst-ridden Robin trying to break out of Batman’s shadow. The only thing he ever really does is act like a child.

Alicia Silverstone. Wow. I seriously wonder what makes someone say, “Hmm, who should we get to play Batgirl . . . I know! Alicia Silverstone!” No offense to Alicia, but she’s out in right field on this one. Her tough-girl performance is sprinkled with reminders of her Clueless days. But all that aside, she actually does very little.

Now, onto the villains. Uma Thurman, who we know CAN act, is hamming it up to ridiculous proportions. First, when she’s playing the nerdy Dr. Pamela, she exaggerates that to a level I thought impossible. And then she inexplicably turns into an extremely sexualized villainess whose plan, by the way, would kill all the plants she advocated protecting.

Arnold seems like the worst possible choice for Mr. Freeze. I mean, of all the Batman villains I could see him playing – Bane, for christ’s sake – Mr. Freeze is not on that list. He possesses none of the emotionless, calculated, and cold (no pun intended) sociopathy which makes Mr. Freeze such a good character.

And then, all that aside, they’re handed ridiculous catch phrases and cliches they’re expected to say with any level of sincerity? At one point Mr. Freeze says “chill out.” Of all the ways it sounds, menacing is not among them.

Seriously, I’d have more respect for Schumacher if I discovered that he hated Batman, and had intentionally ruined it with this garbage. Then, this might actually be just his own personal joke. Instead, it borders on a travesty of good cinema. I only wish that 0 stars was a selectable option at the imdb, for this film ALONE.

R.I.P Joel Schumacher
Batman & Robin is one of my all time favourite movies! George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger deliver the performances of a lifetime! Okay, jokes aside, this movie is pretty laughable, Joel Schumacher directed a far more brighter and colourful Batman movie compared to the darker Tim Burton approach. When I was around 7, this used to be my favourite Batman movie! Not even gonna lie, then I got around to becoming a film-lover and realised how bad this movie really is! The only reason it gets an 8 is because Schwarzenegger actually makes the movie funny, George Clooney’s suit is kind of nostalgic for me in all honesty and some of the camera angles are pretty dope, ngl. This is also the movie that brought us the Nolan Batman trilogy which is 2000 times better than this piece of… *masterpiece* (of) cleverness and absolute genius! A serious R.I.P to the man, the myth, the legend, Joel Schumacher, who should not be remembered for this.. ahem, *masterpiece*, but for his other brilliant work like Batman Forever (yeah, to be honest I kinda love that movie), A Time To Kill, Falling Down, 8mm, Phone Booth, Phantom of the Opera and many more. The guy didn’t only direct this, don’t take the 8-rating seriously, it’s just because it’s nostalgic and brought us three other movies that were a f*** ton better than this one!
