Joel Schumacher's tongue-in-cheek attitude hits an unbearable limit in Batman & Robin resulting in a frantic and mindless movie that's too jokey to care much for.

By now, the dispatching of various comic-book meanies is the least satisfying part of the deal, no matter how many disco scenes or gizmos are thrown onto the screen.
Loud, uninspired, and interminable.
The villains, Arnold Schwarzenegger and especially Uma Thurman in this instance, remain the highlights here, as the rest of the gargantuan production lacks the dash and excitement that would have given the franchise a boost in its eighth year.
The fourth Bat-flick finds this juvenile franchise running on empty.
Top CriticCampy costumes can't disguise the incoherent plot, confused performances and lame script that send this star vehicle spiralling downward.
[Schumacher's] storytelling is limp, and the characters lack energy.
I've seen colonic X-rays more visually appealing than what Schumacher throws up on the screen.
Among the worst wide-release films of the 1990s, offering virtually nothing in the way of positive compensation other than an excellent chance to mock it with a cadre of like-minded, drunk friends.
Fails to deliver anything of merit or worth at every turn.
Same bat-time, same bat-movie.
It has no heart, it's an empty piece of work that fails to deliver on anything other than very soft core fetishism.
This franchise has gotten aggressively unsatisfying.
A high-rent jumble sale of smarty-pants pop-culture gags and expensive tchochtkes.
This fourth modern Batman film features perhaps the worst screenplay -- or at least the worst dialogue -- ever written.
Schumacher's intention appears to have been to make something so awful, so corny, so campy, so preposterously bad that audiences would simply laugh at it. Sorry. Bad is bad.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
I don't know anyone who'll admit to liking BATMAN AND ROBIN. Except me.
It represents the things I really, really dislike about Hollywood and its overblown product.
Alfred posits, "For what is Batman if not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps our world? An attempt to control death itself." Okay, fine, but we get this and dick jokes?
Burton's Batman was capable of snapping criminal spine -- Schumacher's is a sissy lib who believes in redemption, if not the possibility of rehabilitation.
Like most sequels, Batman has lost steam after three.
The title that managed to kill modern-day Batman movies.
