If you love Batman, this movie makes you angry. If you love a tasteful parody, this movie makes you furious at how taste and humor have been pile-driven into the dirt. This artless, rubber-nippled, shiny explosion of everything annoying will forever be George Clooney's and even Arnold Schwarzenegger's worst film. It's an obnoxious romp through Joel Schumacher's ADHD Gotham City. Total crap!

To say this film is campy and ridiculous would do a great disservice to both of those adjectives, which could be used to describe films that are not the absolute waste of celluloid that this is. I have hard time explaining why this film is so abominable - is it the terrible script, the stupid characters, the irritating scenery chewing, the awful dialogue, the stifling studio slickness? All of those are certainly factors. But the final product is so much worse than a sum of its faulty parts.
4	lachapelle	9 _1st
NO. NO. No. Wrong, all wrong. Stop this movie before the first reel ends. It's all just to painful to watch. Arnold is uber cool, just not here. Uma Thurman is an underrated genius, just not here, Chris O'Donnell will be one of the next reat actors, if he can ever get past the reputation of being in this bomb. George Clooney sucks. In this film though, he sucks worse. Alicia Silverstone gets a bad rap. After this film, I understand why. Must go watch Batman Begins again to clear my
4	Pickpocket	1 _12th
So cheesy it becomes somewhat enjoyable. Bat nipples are genius and Arnold is the king of cheesy one liners so he fits in well with this movie.
4	Jeb	2 _4th
Clooney is a terrible Batman, and the rest of the cast is terrible as well. The script is good ( note : sarcasm ) though, and there's some good lines ( note : more sarcasm, here's an example : Ice to Meet Yah! ). The action is mediocre and boring, and this film could be used in a commercial promoting a new Batman toy! One more thing too, Batman on ice and Bat Nipples!

You ever see the wikiquote page for this movie? Yes, there is a wikiquote page for Batman & Robin and it's beautiful. Pictures and everything. Check it out, baby: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Batman_&_Robin_%281997_film%29
3	JoshStew06	2 _0th
Definitely one of the worst movies ever, and probably the worst I've ever paid money to see in the theaters. It's just an embarassment across the board, especially to the franchise, and that's taking into account Batman Forever. This makes Forever look like a masterpiece.
3	mightypotato	20 _6th
This movie single handedly put the Batman franchise into a coma for 8 years. Simply put, its a disgrace.
3	febraro	5 _0th
Offensive to homosexuals.

This movie is very bad, it has nothing to do with the gloomy and mysterious life of Bruce Wayne.

I ... like it.

Perfect summary of why Comics sucked dick in the 90's
3	brandt64	20 _4th
Batman is awesome and he kicks ass. To turn something so awesome into something so horrid takes serious skill and dedication. If they handed out awards for how well you could bastardize a pop-culture icon, this film would take the gold.
2	AgentSnipe	40 _4th
I hate it so much! I hated this movie. Such an embarrassment to everyone involved. No argument: The worst Batman movie of all time.
2	Kavu	5 _2nd
The absolute low point of the series.

Holy horse crap Batman, I just choked on my own vomit!

Criticker should allow negative scores specifically for this movie. Mass murder should be legalized for the same reason.
2	Carpetgiant	35 _0th
Joel Schumacher learned the hard way that some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
2	Farzan	10 _1st
If i heard another ice pun, I was going to shoot myself. "Let's kick some ICE," "Everybody CHILL," "what killed all the dinosaurs, THE ICE AGE," in fact, just in case I end up seeing this film by accident in the near future, if you see me on the street, fucking kill me.
2	Bojangles	20 _5th
George Clooney's Head Waggle School of Acting...piercing good looks required.
2	warlock	0 _0th
It's one of those films you have to see just to see how bad a supposed blockbuster movie can be. See it once just for the laughs and ridiculous dialogue. It makes Lucas' writing in Attack of the Clones look Oscar worthy. Sad to say that this film over Attack of the Killer Tomatoes will be the film that Clooney is most embarrassed about when his career is over.
2	Shmendrek	1 _10th
A list of things that are terrible about this film: Arnie's one liners, nipples on a superhero costume, George Clooney as Batman, ice skating sequences, Joel Schumacher, lacks a soul, etc.

Smells like hot garbage. Oh, and insert requisite comment about how gay Batman & Robin are here: ___________.

Take everything bad from Batman Forever and add twice more. The expensive cast doesn't save this one.

I have no words how awful this movie is. I just can not believe it. New title maybe: Neon and Lasers; The Movie? Also maybe nice to add, not even kidding, it literally made me puke.. sad face
2	DavidBlast	5 _1st
Why there should be such a thing as the death penalty for crimes against a franchise. I'm dead fucking serious.
2	Paxton	16 _1st
Batman nipples. Enough said.
2	Yiannos	38 _4th
(Viewed in 06/14): Confession time: I'd rather watch B & R than Begins or Rises. Why? Because it's a ton of fun next to those respectable borefests. Yes it's overproduced, poorly written, questionably cast and sloppily directed. Clooney doesn't work as Batman, and Batgirl was shoehorned in. Arnie and Uma chew through the scenery like camp bulldogs, and the sets are magnificently gaudy, yet it remains strangely enjoyable because of the sheer consistency of its offenses. A guilty pleasure.
1	Spitfire	15 _0th
WHY?
1	TripleSH	7 _3rd
You can definitely see why they started over with Batman Begins after this one. It's enough to make fans of the original cry.

RUBBER NIPPLES.
1	svicciarelli	45 _3rd
Oh this is bad. Really bad. Cheesy but not on purpose.
1	Filligan	32 _2nd
Everything about this movie is terrible, except maybe Uma Thurman, and yet I'll still leave it on if it's on TV. I don't know why. All I can do is apologize. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, you guys.
1	DrxCapio	55 _9th
Just crap. Silly characters, a nonsensical plot, and they made Bane into a total wimp. They should have quit while they were ahead.
1	lrampartl	9 _1st
This is just painful to watch. This doesn't even have camp value, it's just bad bad bad.
1	Ronin167	4 _0th
Schumacher is evil.
1	Ytadel	1 _5th
It's one thing to treat your source material with a light touch - Iron Man did so to acclaim - but it's another to make a garish, idiotic mockery of it. Alicia Silverstone literally gives the worst performance in any film ever. However, I give the movie a few extra points for being the killing fire that scorched the series to the ground, allowing the phoenix of Batman Begins to rise from the ashes.
1	easymac742	44 _4th
Like airplane food, it really is as bad as you've heard.

I saw it drunk. It was a good experience.
1	HunterKing	88 _79th
Call back Voyager 1 from the depths of space, get rid of all the children speaking in different languages, old-ass Beethoven pieces, blah blah. Show those extra-terrestrivals this. This is the craziest thing mankind will ever produce and every living thing should be aware of it

Worst. Batman. Ever.

BOOOOOMB! BOOOOOMB! BOOOOOMB! BOOOOOMB!
1	Grit	2 _2nd
They can't have been really trying to act in this one. Can they? Clooney would never make a good Batman, Robin is just embarassing and the whole film stinks of the campiness of the old live action films.
1	Tripwyre	11 _4th
One of the gayest movies of all time, and oh how I wish I were just being infantile. Clooney has even admitted to playing his character as gay. But the film has a few redeeming qualities -- redeeming in that they are so numbingly awful they become painfully hilarious. It's not funny in a 60s Batman camp sorta way, as that was intentionally absurd; this is just intentionally stupid. You have to give it credit for killing the franchise, though. Without this there may not have been a Nolan reboot.
1	caocao	77 _90th
This is a (mad) genius level of camp. To do it with an icon the level of Batman? Breathtaking!
1	blayze	0 _6th
Even more ( but unintentionally!!!) campy than the 60s Batman movie.
1	Detonathor	5 _3rd
Exotic monkey-suit dance. Ah-nuld's puns. And nipples.

Batman down the bottom.

Batsuits with nipples equal very bad. Time to reboot. (see Batman Begins)
1	jswinder	10 _5th
Silverstone can suck a fat one.
1	INDYATMN	70 _24th
Messy and silly and unwatchable now. Greatest offense? Filled w/ a ton (or feels that way) of horrible cold-related puns from Mr. Freeze.
1	EmptyChamber	40 _3rd
Just... Damn.
1	Peewee	97 _96th
awesome
1	HyphenateMe	25 _2nd
It brings me a chilling feeling to tell you that this movie was simply not a very nICE movie to have to watch. Was it a batbomb?! Yes.
1	eric-jan	70 _54th
Uma Thurman makes a great poison ivy!!! Underrated for a batman movie. This is probably one of the best.
1	marc01	0 _0th
Absolutely not!
1	Paul H	44 _3rd
The only thing good about it is Arnold.
1	omgfridge	0 _1st
So incredibly utterly bad, it makes me want to hulk smash the world.
1	CaptTesticle	15 _2nd
Sequels = Inbreeding. Consider this flailing armed mental defective one of Hollywood's most pointed celebrations for gene pool diversity.
1	Bown	46 _7th
Once you realise they were clearly just goofing around and having fun it gets a TINY bit better, but still mostly cringeworthy.
1	ahamel7896	7 _54th
An amazing adaptation of the 60s Batman series. If you take it seriously, you'll hate it, but if you go into with a sense of humor as Schumacher obviously did, you'll have a blast. George Clooney is a great Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Schwarzenegger and Thurman are hilarious. Thurman in particular captures the slinky sexiness of many of the female villains on the 60s series. High camp, and much better than the bloated Batman Forever.
1	misterlizard	5 _4th
This only gets points because I reckon Arnie realised exactly how shit this was going to be and decided to milk it for every cent. He's the worst character ever to appear in a Batman film but at least it looks like he's having fun. Everything else about this - story, the horrible miscasting of Clooney, Silverstone and basically everyone else, the puke-themed sets, EVERYTHING is wrong. No surprise it killed one of Hollywood's biggest franchises for almost a decade.
1	hellboy76	8 _2nd
I tried to give it a point for every bat nipple but I forgot how many people were in it.

1	GillSolo	12 _3rd
Was this supposed to be a Mormon comedy? The people responsible for this garbage should be fired and forced to work at Mcdonalds for the rest of their no-talent lives. FOR SHAME! The only thing about this crap that gives it a 12 are the Arnie freeze one-liners.
1	xacviant	30 _6th
Widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made, it's not bad when compared to the wretched BATMAN FOREVER--or at least, it's bad in a less off-putting way. Joel Schumacher goes for all-out camp here, and while it does get old after awhile, it's mostly just harmlessly stupid. Clooney makes a dull Batman, and Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy misses the mark, but Schwarzenegger has some low-grade fun with Mr. Freeze. The script consists mostly of wisecracks (and puns), with a little pathos for Alfred.
1	ClevrTitania	86 _65th
The farther we get into the Nolan world of Batman, the more we seem to hate parts of the Burton/Schumacher dynasty. But what those movies did was blend the camp of the original series (and the comics to some degree) with the darker modern vision. Sure, Nicholson's Joker wasn't quite as tortured Ledger's, but was he any less intimidating? I liked the series, including B&R. Clooney and O'Donnell had a lot of fun with it. I loved Thurman & Silverstone, and Arnie was 'cool' too.
1	HevanlyDevil	80 _32nd
I don't gie a damn if it was corny or lame, that is what i love about it lol
1	Headwound	0 _7th
WHY? OH JESUS WHY? I mean... Clooney was a vaguely decent Bruce... oh God WHY WAS THIS MADE? Even Alfred almost died because of this movie! Why can't THIS damn thing FREEEEEEZE in HELL? They say that if you put enough monkeys in a room with a typewriter they'll produce Shakespeare. I demand a counting of the monkeys in this room, because clearly they just s*** on the typewriter and called it Batman & Robin. Thomas and Martha Wayne are rolling in their GRAVES! DAMN YOU SCHUMACHER! DAMN YOOOOOU!!!
1	alex9000	100 _99th
This is one of the great comedies. Only a master could pull off the perfect level of camp, quoteability and confusion that is present in this masterpiece. Joel, I worship you.
