The whole thing is just that little bit wackier, perhaps closer to the 60s TV version - although Two-Face's burns are nastier than that show would have permitted.

Batman Forever is a visual tour de force, a knock-your-eyes-out effort. But it overdoes, overkills. And what starts out exhilarating ends up...exhausting.

It doesn't add up to much, but it's certainly entertaining.

Schumacher's spin on the black-suited vigilante is as flawed as it is brilliant, as messy as it is impressive. A bit of a two-face really.

By now, Jim Carrey is doing sarcastic takes on his own sarcasm, and there's something funny and a little scary in that.

Joel Schumacher submits to the Wagnerian bombast with an overly busy surface, and the script by Lee and Janet Scott Batchler and Akiva Goldsman basically runs through the formula as if it's a checklist.

Audience Reviews for Batman Forever

Jun 20, 2016Joel Schumacher takes over the franchise and runs it straight into the ground. Schumacher made Gotham City's skyline almost something like Blade Runner meets huge Greek statues. Script was very awkward and Nicole Kidman seemed a bit out of place other than Bruce Wayne's "token girlfriend" the entire film. Only shining light in this film is arguably the most perfect casting of the entire franchise as Jim Carrey played The Riddler. With the camp that this film has, Carrey is right at home and steals his scenes but it's not enough to save this film.Patrick W Super Reviewer

Apr 07, 2016Regressing superhero flicks back to the days of candy-colored camp, the slapsticky and recast Batman Forever sports a title that's quite apt seeing as it begins a once-edgy franchise's slow demise. Americans keep saying some historic gaffes will never happen again. But then the Iraq War follows Vietnam. And then 9/11 follows Pearl Harbor. And then Batman Forever follows Batman starring Adam West and Burt Ward. Granted, the Caped Crusader's '60s TV adventures hold a special place in pop culture but this trippy production was a White Buffalo in the Zeitgeist. In Batman Forever, this same tone just plays out like a cartoon aimed at grade schoolers. Directing the movie as if it's a music video with quick edits, tilted angles, and garish sets, Joel Schumacher presents the gaily dressed heroes and villains such that they're always ready to break into a song and dance routine...and, sadly, not even the Batusi. In this poor excuse of a PG-13-rated sequel, Batman (Kilmer) must battle Two-Face (Jones) and The Riddler (Jim Carrey) with help of an amorous psychologist (Nicole Kidman) and a young circus acrobat who becomes his sidekick, Robin (Chris O'Donnell). While Tim Burton uses cartoonish elements to his advantage (his Dark Knight films are, after all, based on funny books aimed at general audiences), Schumacher goes full cartoon. As camptastic as the splashy ABC series that gave adult viewers a chuckle and young viewers some Bam! Pow! Zap! action proves to be in retrospect, the miscalculated Batman & Robin achieves the same end, which is highly unfortunate given that the character is a psychologically scarred vigilante. Val Kilmer does a fine job, but even the greatest acting in the world can't take away from the fact that Batman Forever takes the series in a needlessly silly direction. Bottom line: Utility BeltedJeff B Super Reviewer

Mar 27, 2016Batman Forever has a very inconsistent tone, very over the top (including the villains), and overall very all over the place. Val Kilmer is good as Batman/Bruce Wayne and it does have some good moments but overall it doesn't really save this film all that much from its cheesy nature.Mr N Super Reviewer

Mar 06, 2016Thankfully Christopher Nolan came along and resurrected the Batman franchise after films like this. Bordering on campy, with some awful dialog and a pretty unbelievable plot, this addition to Batman is best forgotten, except for Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones whose performances are clearly holding this up.Ian W Super Reviewer
