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

Ian (Flash Review)Watching this after a couple 60's French heist films was an abrupt switch as this was an explosion of wild and garish visuals and jarring pacing with aggressive shot framing. Once I got into mental rhythm it started to grow on me after a lackluster beginning. It grew on me due to Jim Carrey perfectly getting into the role of The Riddler. He stole the show for me and easily overshadowed Kilmer as Batman. This time Batman is up against Two-Face as he wrongly assumes Batman was the reason for his facial disfigurement and then also The Riddler who transforms himself from a computer genius into The Riddler striving to build a device to drain all the information from all the brains in Gotham. To top all that off, Batman's future partner Robin is introduced and then mix in a romantic angle with Kidman as Dr. Chase Meridian and you have many interesting storylines that are sufficiently intertwined. The humor in this was more deliberate, felt more comic-like and had more sexual innuendos. The scene esthetics felt more busy than the first two and the effects looked more fake and dated than the 'older' movies ironically. Overall, this was still wild fun yet loses a bit of the original Burton magic for me.

Duff Chastain This movie is a lot different from, and in my opinion much inferior to, the first two entries in the (original) Batman movie franchise. I think it's because they had new creative people in place (the new director but also some new cast), and they took the movie into a much too cartoon-like direction. I thought the original Batman movie (1989) was fantastic, and I know a lot of people actually disliked Batman Returns but I still thought it was a very good, entertaining movie. But this movie I thought was a clunker, and the one after this (Batman and Robin) is a complete disaster.You'll enjoy the series if you stop after the second one, when Tim Burton and Michael Keaton both left the series. Trust me.

harrybrock Ahh Batman Forever, the ultimate Joel Schumacher masterpiece, the sexy intro music, the impeccable CGI, the memorable quotes. Although the movie seems to be a masterpiece at first glance, there are many flaws, such as the overall rapiness of the movie. One of the memorable quotes from Jim Carrey's 'The Riddler' was "You were supposed to understand... I will make you understand", which made it seem like he will sexually assault Bruce Wayne. Furthermore in another scene Jim Carrey states "See you soon" in a gay rapey manner. The issue with this is that it seems to support the view from feminists that there is currently a rape culture. The costume design was also phenomenal... for a 5 year old. In addition to this it looked like a two year painted the side of two-faces head and at times Tommy Lee-Jones 'Two-Face' acted like a gay stripper. Nevertheless the script was almost perfect, the acting of Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman is flawless, in which Kidman's superb role in the movie made the misogynists watching the movie want to gouge their own eyes out, and the immersiveness of Gotham City is exquisite. I have other problems with the movie, I believe Alfred may have sexually abused Master Dick and there is instance of misogyny where Bruce Wayne sighs and says "Women", the feminists have highly criticised this part of the script. The emotional shown by Chris O'Donnell who portrayed Robin was quite simply breathtaking and he should have won an academy award for his role in the movie. Overall the acting in this movie is quite astoshing and the effects had set the precedent for the future. The audio used was phenomenal and matches the likes of Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone. Even the movie had its flaws, it had became an instant classic and Joel Schumacher had made an incredible contribution to the movie industry. So the movie is basically crap but funny because of how stupid and bad it is.
