I won't go whinging on about how bad Batman & Robin was. The film can be summed up in one word: crap. But I will however go on about how surprised I am at the vehement response Batman & Robin got because, in the end, it is no better or worse than the previous Batman Forever movie. |

Whereas Batman Forever irritated me so much that I wanted to walk out, I also wanted to walk out of Batman & Robin - but for different reasons. Batman Forever illustrated how good the previous Batman films directed by Tim Burton actually were and how director Joel Schumacher made a mess. Batman & Robin was, well, boring. In fact, it is merely Batman Forever recycled. Both movies even start with the same scene - with Batman suiting up. The city looks the same, the music score is pretty much the same, there's the same campiness, the same unfunny one liners, etc., etc. But I still don't get the furore about this movie. It's crap, yeah, but so was Batman Forever. Watching Batman & Robin you can be forgiven for thinking that you are watching Batman Forever again. I didn't expect much from Batman & Robin and I didn't get much in return - in that sense the movie delivered… |
