Batman Forever

Amazon.com:
When Tim Burton and Michael Keaton announced that they'd had enough of the Batman franchise, director Joel Schumacher stepped in (with Burton as coproducer) to make this action-packed extravaganza starring Val Kilmer as the caped crusader. Batman is up against two of Gotham City's most colorful criminals, the Riddler (a role tailor-made for funnyman Jim Carrey) and the diabolical Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), who join forces to conquer Gotham's population with a brain-draining device. Nicole Kidman plays the seductive psychologist who wants to know what makes Batman tick. Boasting a redesigned Batmobile and plenty of new Bat hardware, Batman Forever also introduces Robin the Boy Wonder (Chris O'Donnell) whose close alliance with Batman led more than a few critics to ponder the series' homoerotic subtext. No matter how you interpret it, Schumacher's take on the Batman legacy is simultaneously amusing, lavishly epic, and prone to chronic sensory overload. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Very bland...
Campy Batman can work with a good cast and right atmosphere, but here it mixes with dark Batsy and has a bad cast. (Except Jim Carrery.)
Rating: - BATMAN ON ACID!
'Batman Forever' had many roadblocks to break through to get made! First off, the studio was afraid to let Burton direct another Batman film fearing it would be so dark, it would appall the general audience. Second this made Keaton uneasy about committing to the new film, so...... enter Joel Schumacher and Val Kilmer(Keaton's lips replacement). The only thing left of Burton in this film is the opening WB logo turning to Dark Knight ala the first two Batman films and the ending at the creepy Arkham ... Read More
Rating: - Holy Action Scenes, Batman!
After the modest "Batman" and the disappointing "Batman Returns" comes
"Batman Forever," featuring an all-star cast: Val Kilmer, Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones (Best Supporting Actor, "The Fugitive; 1993), Jim Carrey ("The Mask"), Nicole Kidman ("Far And Away," "To Die For," "Days Of Thunder"), Chris O'Donnell ("The Three Musketeers") and Drew Barrymore ("E.T.," "Firestarter") in a very minor role as one of Two-Face's (Jones) henchwomen. This new installment in the franchise, which sadly ... Read More

Rating: - The Riddler, Two Face, Robin and bat crap.
Its bad, its green and the bright colors are out of control, ItsBatman Forever. The movie has a new director whos name is Joel Schumacher. Whenever I think of this movie I think of greeeeeeen!! The new Batman is Val Kilmer, hes not the best choice but he gets the job done. Which is probably what Joel Schumacher was thinking while making this candy scented bat crap. The movie was passible but that dosent mean much. Jim Carrey was good as The Riddler and was my favorite villian out of Batman 3 and 4. ... Read More
