The extreme overcorrection to Batman Returns. I won't pretend that I didn't love this as a dumb teenager, and it's certainly better than Batman & Robin, but hole-y rusted metal is this movie goofy.

Val Kilmer was a good Batman, Jim Carrey was a good Ridler, Tommy Lee Jones was a great two face and Nicole Kidman's breasts. Sadly the movie itself is mediocre at best. Everything is just so God damn neon. And there's apparently no daytime in Gotham City. Ever.

Is there really any difference between this and Batman & Robin? No, not really. I completely understand people, especially Batman fans, despising these films, but rewatching them I love them. The melting pot of all the nonsensical aspects of American comic books, the gaudiness and lack of logic, combined with how Hollywood tries to interpret characters like this makes a potent and bonkers cocktail for me. Its almost surreal compared to blockbusters of now.

This is the movie where Batman started to become a little more gay. After the darkness of Batman and Batman Returns, this one just seemed a little more childish. It's way more appealing than Batman and Robin however.

What conclusions are to be drawn from the fact that a film of such staggering incompetence was the second highest grossing movie of 1995? Probably the closest thing to a theme here is the divided nature of human personality, but aside from that, one thing it is kind of about, in a roundabout way, is what has come to be known as neuromarketing and neuroeconomics. Seems aimed at kids, but also features strangely stylised, somewhat perverse, sexuality (though nothing happens, of course).

I sometimes wonder if Joel Shumacher secretly hates Batman. That's the only way they could have done so badly on this movie (and the sequel as well). I like Val Kilmer's Batman and Jim Carrey as the Riddler. But the rest is absolute shit (TLJ's Two-Face is a caricature). "I'll get drive-thru", fuck off Joel.

The Riddler's plan is to like suck brain waves or something? It makes him smarter apparently but it doesn't seem much like it. All he ever finds out from it is that Bruce Wayne is Batman. This is only because apparently bats are the only thing on Bruce Wayne's mind. Well then.

I still have not got round to watching B&R but I suspect I'll be drunk and treat it like a comedy. This is why Forever will remain the worst film in the series for me. Both TLJ and Carrey are ripping off Nicholson's Joker in the most annoying way possible, and Kilmer is playing a forgettable version of Keaton. Everything is so cartoony and neon as to be a bad video game version of Burton's Gotham. One minor "positive" is that the Seal/U2 soundtrack is an extremely effective 1990's time capsule.

I liked it when I was a kid and I think it's still a movie that kids could like today. It's ridiculous and over the top and compared to the Nolan Batman movies it's complete crap but this one can still be somewhat enjoyed. Robin was crappy, and I didn't think Kilmer was a bad batman. Jones and Carrey on screen together make this movie somewhat fun to watch. People won't like how ridiculous they are compared to the new Batman villains, but I thought they did a good job with the insanity part.

Saw this in theaters for the first time when I was 5. Partially rewatched it during TV reruns. Most of the actors seemed drunk during filming, especially Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey. I prefer the roller coasters at Six Flags to the movies.

Sitting through Batman Forever proved far more difficult than I'd imagined. Kilmer and Jones were dull as dishwater and Carrey's Riddler--although certainly... energetic--neither struck me as clever or dangerous. Nicole Kidman's nice to look at in this, but the script makes her character seem more like a first year psychology major of below-average intelligence than a world-renowned doctor. Some of the special effects are laughable. Schumacher didn't really do anything right here.

Strikingly bad, Batman Forever is a movie to which the passage of time has been very unkind. With dull performances from the leads, the puzzling decision to try to frame O'Donnell as a young 20-something, and cringe-worthy creative decisions, the only thing stopping the movie from being an outright slog is Carrey's scenery-eating performance, easily the best thing about the film. Altogether, a surprisingly glum and uninteresting film saved from the scrap heap outright by Carrey's Riddler.

Dishonest camp is the absolute worst type of camp. It's true that my favorite Batman movie is the 1966 original, for a few reasons: Batman knows exactly what it's trying to do, who it's trying to do it for, and pulls it off pitch-perfectly. Batman Forever tries to have it both ways, with Jim Carrey in a performance that would make Frank Gorshin blush while still trying to keep the dark and twisted aesthetic of the Burton Batman films.

Not the worst that could've been, that was what was to come in "Batman and Robin." On its own terms "Forever" works because Kilmer makes for a worthy Batman, and because it isn't quite total camp just yet - maybe only 90 percent - and you must love Jim Carrey as the Riddler.

Campy, off-the-wall, and I didn't really like the way TLJ portrayed Two-Face. But still, it's a Batman movie and thus is worth the watch. Val Kilmer is an amazing Batman, really took the more human side of Bruce Wayne and enhanced that, to the point where Bruce was as important as Batman. Not a fan of Chris O'Donnell.

A lot of people really didn't like this, but so what? Kilmer is a fine Batman, and the villains are colorful. The plot kind of sucked, but it was still a fun ride. Enjoy it for the half-serious half-camp superhero flick it is. Personally, I love it.

Thus begins the abortions that were Joel Schumacher's Batman movies. I remember as a kid being really psyched about this, and even finding it enjoyable. Just watched it again, and god, where did all this neon, rubber nipple and butt shots, and way over the top acting come from. Robin should stay the hell out of Batman films. As an adult, and after the excellence of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, this is such crap.

Now normally if someone says “the best part was the end credits!” it’s sarcastic, but in this case it’s unironic as “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” and “Kiss from a Rose” are two of the iconic movie soundtrack pieces of the 90s. Every single other thing about this movie SUCKS OUT LOUD. I’m in disbelief watching it at how badly this series went off the rails so quickly. No retroactive hate here - I thought this was stupid & embarrassing when I was 9 years old in 1995 too.

I used to not like it because I thought they were wasting the talent of Val Kilmer. In my defense he had made Tombstone only two years earlier. Now I can't stomach watching Tommy Lee Jones try to out ham Jim Carrey. Where's the gruff indifference of U.S. Marshals? Where's the stern hand from Man of the House? Where's the guy running from a Volcano in Volcano? In all seriousness though, Chris O'Donnell AND Drew Barrymore.

The dialogue is bad, and aside from Carrey's typically enjoyable schtick, everything about the baddies is really bad too: the two-villain dynamic is awkward AF (I read afterwards that TLJ hated Carrey on set and you can totally tell), the brain-sucking thing is dumb, and the "useless henchmen" syndrome here is the worst I've ever seen. Kilmer's brooding Batman is good though and the campy action-based plot is fun enough, featuring some cool cinematography (loved those zooms and skewed shots).

A near complete 180 from Burton's duo of films to resemble something similar to the Adam West era of Batman. I say "resemble" because this is a crazy mixture of pieces. Who knew that mid 90s Jim Carrey could be over shadowed by a huge performance from Tommy Lee Jones? Schumacher made something campy, gay, neon, bizarre, and pretty unforgettable. I loved it as a kid and don't hate it now.

I'm convinced that, if actually given a competent script and directed properly, Val Kilmer could've been a BRILLIANT Batman -- it just makes this movie that more disappointing. Absolutely annoying villains, stupid one-liners, and bat nipples. Sometimes Schumacher's Gotham gives off a vague glimmer of being as cool as Burton's stylish attempt at the city, but it still falls flat of even that.

Nicole Kidman is hot and Jim Carrey "wacko" in a good way. Also some references to sixties Batman are funny, but Kilmers rubber ass just dropped me from the coach. That's what most of the film is about and what ruins it.

Holy defecate in my heart, Batman! Nothing works in this movie. Two Face was written as Joker, Riddler wasn't "written" as a character, Nicole Kidman wasn't needed, Chris O'Donnell should have been thrown under a bus, and Val Kilmer should have had a better script. I mean... they play f****** BATTLESHIP!? The suits have NIPPLES?!?! Chris O'Donnel is to Robin as Jake Lloyd is to Darth Vader. I want to be Batpunched in my Batgroin.

Clearly a marriage between Batman 89 and 66 and I love that, I really do. That said, the plot is absolute nonsense, the Batman love story is cringeworthy and I hate the choice to make Two-Face just Cesar Romero's Joker. The score is fantastic, though, and I enjoy Jim Carrey as the Riddler and the nostalgia here is so high for me so I can't mark this one as bad.

Schumacher's test run with his own extremely camp and OTT vision of Batman -- this is more hysterical than the successor (thanks to Carey hamming it up like there's nothing left, and the miscast Lee Jones trying to do likewise), yet also far less funny and far more conventional (with Kidman's boring love interest being an utterly useless contribution). All hatred for Batman & Robin ought to be reserved for this predecessor instead.

Batman Forever is thousands of times better than Batman and Robin, but it's still garbage. This is Joel Shumacher's first Batman, and the downward spiral is clear and present. Goodbye Dark Knight.

Thankfully, Jim Carrey did do a good job of recreating Frank Gorshin's Riddler, and Nicole Kidman has never looked hotter. Too bad that this movie is crap!

The script might not be the most intelligent ever written but "Batman Forever" proves a highly enjoyable pleasant surprise. Kilmer makes for a pretty good Bruce Wayne/ Batman, Michael Gough might as well be the definitive Alfred and Jim Carrey is an absolute riot. Two-Face and Riddler are captivating villains and their pairing is exciting, punctuated even more by the astonishing costumes and make-up and the overall wonderful visuals. Great one-liners and solid character insight round things off.

Batman meets the Sandlot. For...ev...er. Ok, maybe it's not that cool but it's still a pretty fun Batman film. Out of the early films this is my second favorite one.

Drew Barrymore had a cute little cameo. Jim Carrey shines in the role as the Riddler...
