Batman & Robin (1997)

hyped garbage

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie is probably the best bad movie I've seen (I haven't seen the room though) Everything from Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr Freeze to Green wrestler bane to the insanely bad story and dialogue just make for an entertaining watch.

I've watched this movie multiple times because of the twice a month showing it got on Cartoon Network and as a kid, it was just something to keep me entertained. Years later, watching this made me realize how poorly made this movie was and that it appealed to me as a child but to no one with a sense of humor past cheesy one liners. I've seen multiple accounts of George Clooney acknowledging it's horridness, from giving refunds to people or just straight up saying "we killed a franchise." I wouldn't be surprised if these events were true.

I was in the crowd at the UK premiere for Batman & Robin in Leicester Square, cheering as the stars arrived on the red carpet. Had I already seen the film, boos would have been more appropriate. I'm no fan of Christopher Nolan's dreary oh-so-serious Batman movies, but even they are preferable to this abomination, a neon coloured nightmare of frivolous, cartoonish nonsense, director Joel Schumacher dialling the camp up to eleven, while simultaneously turning the fun and excitement down to zero.Talking of zero, Arnold Schwarzenegger is absolutely dire as ice-cold, wise-cracking Mr. Freeze, but Uma Thurman goes one better (or should that be one worse?) as Poison Ivy, her Mae West inspired performance about as hammy as it gets. As far as the good guys are concerned, George Clooney is horribly miscast as Batman, the actor never believable as anyone other than George Clooney, while Chris O'Donnell's Robin comes across as an irritating impetuous child, and Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl exists purely to add some girl power.From the opening shots of our heroes' rubber clad butts and moulded suit nipples, to the boring 'climax' that had me struggling to stay awake, this film is a colossal misfire and an embarrassment to all involved.A pitiful 3/10, although I nearly deducted a point for the silly cartoon sound effects that occasionally accompany the action.

I think that this movie is a masterpiece and should have been the winner of the 2016 Oscar best screen play. I don't understand why people don't like this movie. people who dislike this movie should jump off a cliff. would recommend.
