Batman & Robin

Pros: Good family fun
Cons: Drags at times

Batman and Robin is the fourth installment in the popular movie adventures of the Caped Crusader, and though not my favorite in the series, it is still a film I enjoy watching from time to time. Today my son wanted to see it, so we did together. The tone...

Pros: Colorful, lots of action; kids under 10 may enjoy it.
Cons: Watching this movie may lower your IQ.

If there were ever a comic book-based film worthy of a bad review (besides Marvel's Captain America.. but we're talking more than a 20 dollar budget here), it's Batman & Robin. I remember the movie getting a lot of hype, trying to stir up some...

Pros: A few moments show promise.
Cons: How much time do you have?

Directed By Joel Schumacher. Written By Akiva Goldsman. George Clooney (Bruce Wayne/Batman) Chris O'Donnell (Dick Grayson/Robin) Alicia Silverstone (Barbara Wilson/ Batgirl) Arnold Schwarzengger ...

Pros: ................Special Effects?.........
Cons: Acting, script, direction, what more do I need to say?

I see very few movies that truly deserve this rating. Most directors are skilled enough to prevent it from at least sinking into the utter abyss. This movie is an exception to that rule. It truly is one of the worst films I've ever seen. What a ...

Pros: It ended.
Cons: Terrible story. Awful acting. Inclusion of Poison Ivy and Batgirl.

At the very least, director Joel Schumacher was successful in at least one way with "Batman & Robin"......he pulled the plug on the Bat-franchise that went comatose with his prior film, "Batman Forever". Being about comic book superheroes, the Batman...

Pros: Beautiful sets; George Clooney is agreeable enough as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Cons: Everything else. Akiva Goldsman's script is laughable, and most of the performances will cause indigestion.

It's always painful to witness the degradation of someone you dearly love--to watch, helpless, as a once strong family member succumbs to illness or the ravages of old age. Gradually the strength and personality traits that you remember so fondly...

Pros: good storyline; screenplay had potential; Schwarzennegger played an excellent villain
Cons: campy dialogue with cheesy one-liners; some action scenes were more comical than serious

I have a special place in my heart for "superhero" movies. I really enjoyed the Superman series and the recent comic book adaptation of X-Men. I also am looking forward to the upcoming Spiderman film. In any event, Batman has always been my favorite...

Pros: Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwartzenegger
Cons: the rest of the movie, if you want to call it that

I don't know what director Joel Schumacher was thinking when he started doing this film, I know what he's probably thinking now though, "what was I thinking?" First off, George Clooney is the worst choice anyone could have ever made to play...

Pros: Uma and Alicia chewed the scenery with panache.
Cons: Robin is a whiny little punk.

From the very first scene of this fourth Bat-incarnation it is plain that we have a new Batman and a new tone for the movies. It starts with the beautiful and impressive showing of the opening credits (I don't care how much Ah-nuld made, GEORGE should've...

Pros: It's Batman
Cons: Goofy Story

I personally liked this movie, but, I am a Batman fan. I can definitely see how others would not. The story line is a bit goofy, and the bad guys are not that good. I like Arnold Swartza-however-you-spell-it, but this was not one of his best...

Pros: Ummm...only the fact that it is Batman
Cons: The fact that they can make a Batman movie this bad...

First of all, I really despise George Clooney. He is a typical TV Actor that should have stuck with his little TV Show and stayed away from movies, because he can't act to save his life. That isn't too harsh, is it?

My next complaint is...

Pros: Visual and Audio brightness and crisp sound
Cons: they had to have dialogue

Review -Why Did They Open Their Mouths?

It wasn't even released back in the summer of 1997 when word leaked that the movie flat out stunk. It was too over-the-top and way too cartoon-like. So I didn't even bother to see the film. I badly...

Pros: Are You Kidding
Cons: Everything, Including the sleeve it comes in

Let me say this loud and proud: I DIDN'T LIKE BATMAN FOREVER AND AS GOD AS MY WITNESS I FELT ASSAULTED AFTER SEEING THIS MOVIE. There now that I've gotten that out I will begin further dissing Joel Schumacher. Let me be clear, he did good in Falling...

Pros: None
Cons: The fact that money was spent on the making of it.

I love Batman, I love the dark, gothic style of Burton's Batman, but I hate Joel Shumacher's light, campy Batman. The script was probably thought up and written in a week. This movie simply doesn't do Batman justice.

The story is about Mr....

Pros: Nobody died during the making of the film, got Joel Schumacher thrown off the series
Cons: Bad production design, ridiculous logic, bad characters, too many stories, poor acting in some parts.

My friend Paul and I were watching an interview with Joel Schumacher on the subject of Batman. He said something like, "Well, I really think that in these modern times with psychiatrists and therapy, Batman would be over his parents' death. So we...
