dormesher-21565 Batman Forever now this film is defiantly a guilty pleasure for me and a really nostalgic part of my childhood i loved this film growing up and still really enjoy it today. Now this isn't perfect and some bits are very silly for a Batman film im not a massive of the Batmobile in this movie the car with alot just dose not work for me being a fan of Batman im used to the car being more discrete to fit in with the stealth style of the character which is why i prefer the car from Keatons and Bales Batmen.Now to things i do like i really enjoy Val Kilmer as Batman he brings a fun side to the character but still manages to keep a dark edge to him. He is also brilliant at the Playboy style of Bruce Wayne and i think Val Kilmer has the most interesting plot in a Batman film with the choice of not being Batman anymore such an interesting plot and i like that with every superhero.JIm Carrey is great as the Riddler and very funny he does get a bit annoying towards the end the whole Battleship scene is just weird and his humour goes a bit to far in my opinion but still a very fun actor and great in the role i do think his Riddles are really easy though and should done more with them.Love the fact they introduce Robin to the franchise in this one and they got origin down to a tea and was really well done Chris ODonnell in the role is just brilliant and still makes a great Robin even to this day i do think they didnt use Robin enough in this film and should of but he looks very cool and the suit looks amazing. And so does Batman one minus the Batnipples which get worse in the next film.The story is alot of fun and has some great moments i do also think this movie is very underrated and still a great addition to the franchise.Verdict 7/10 still very enjoyable and very underrated great addition to Batman still stays dark with an element of fun but sometimes can be silly still enjoy it
abalpn-99472 Batman and Batman Returns will always be my favorite films to watch. This one didn't have a dark tone like Tim Burton's two films. It's underrated and campy but I like it and it's good to enjoy the action. Val Kilmer was all right playing Batman and Bruce Wayne. When I watch him he feels like he's calm and smooth. Jim Carrey was crazy and demented as the Riddler. He was almost like Jack Nicholson's Joker. Although Carrey played a crazy character in the Cable Guy. Tommy Lee Jones was a bad boy as Two-Face. Chris O'Donnell did a great performance as Robin. Nicole Kidman captured my eyes and heart with her character. She is beautiful and I like her. Top 3 Batman films 1. Batman (1989) 2. Batman Returns 3. Batman Forever
Smoreni Zmaj When it comes to picture and sound, third part of Batman series stands shoulder to shoulder with first two, but at the same time it is too frivolous. Story is all right, it is interesting and holds attention. Characters are two-dimensional, which is flaw, but not too big considering that it's superhero comic adaptation. But this is Batman, so there should be a bit more depth. Weakest spot of this movie, in my opinion, is cast. I really have nothing against Kilmer, but he is bad choice for this role, especially Bruce Wayne part of it. Riddler is supposed to be comic relief, I presume, but he has too much space in this flick and takes over position of main villain, and for that he is too ridiculous. Carrey simply should not be in Batman movie. His overacting and mop and mow is simply too much. It's terribly irritating and it spoiled overall impression of the movie. That kind of clowning is acceptable in Mask and similar comedies, but Batman is not and should not be a comedy. At the other hand, Jones, who should be main villain and whose character has dark depth, here it's not shown serious enough and he stays in shadow of the Riddler. Highlights are Chris O'Donnell, whose character is well written and performed, and Nicole Kidman, who's always welcome spice in any movie. I'm not disappointed, but it could have been done much much better.7/10
BA_Harrison There's a lot of hatred for Joel Schumacher's Batman movies, deservedly so in the case of the dreadful Batman and Robin, but for my money, Batman Forever is vastly under-rated: in my opinion, it's a hugely entertaining, brightly coloured comic-book romp with just the right level of camp. Yes, it might have introduced nipples to the Bat costume and given us a gratuitous shot of the hero's rubber clad butt (Schumacher just can't help himself), but the film's gaudy neon Gotham City and over-the-top characters make this a far more satisfying affair than Tim Burton's previous film, the joyless, dreary Gothic mess that was Batman Returns.As much as I enjoyed Burton's 1989 original, I was never 100% convinced by Michael Keaton as either Bruce Wayne or Batman. Here, Val Kilmer is far more suitable, looking every inch the millionaire playboy and much more believable as a tough superhero. Likewise, I prefer Nicole Kidman over Batman's previous love interests, but that's probably because she is way hotter. As far as the villains are concerned, the double team of Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face and Jim Carrey as The Riddler are hard to beat, both revelling in the ridiculousness of their roles (Carrey, in particular, hams it up a treat). And then there's Drew Barrymore, as Two Face's sexy moll Sugar, looking fabulous in white lacy underwear—can't really go wrong with that!The cookie-cutter plot isn't anything groundbreaking, but the simple story-line doesn't detract from the enjoyment, Schumacher keeping the film moving at a cracking pace, with plenty of spectacular, action packed, special effects filled set-pieces, and quite a few funny gags (best of all: Robin saying "Holey rusted metal, Batman", a joke which will probably be lost on many younger viewers). As a fun way to spend a couple of hours, Batman Forever succeeds very well indeed.8/10.
