Batman Forever


I love that movie and I'm not ashamed about it at all. I'll still watch it every time it's on. I thought both Carrey and Jones were solid, Kilmer was a great Bruce Wayne and a solid Batman, and Kidman looks incredible.

Also, it's one of the few times they actually put Dick Grayson on the goddamn big screen and I enjoyed O'Donnell's performance.

Batman and Robin on the other hand had George Clooney, who was neither a good Batman nor a good Wayne. Uma Thurman wasn't the best Ivy and their decision to make Bane a retarded foot soldier was very disappointing. Also, Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl made no sense.

I think part of the reason I love it so much is because it was one of the first movies for me that wasn't kiddy shite that I could go see. I remember actually going to see it, all my friends having all kinds of toys from the movie. Going to Taco Bell or McDonalds and then having the collectible glass cups of Batman and Robin.

I remembered some of the commercials for the movie and it was new for me and that captivated me. It was more like an event than a movie and I loved it for that. It also helps that as a 6-year old I thought that shite was better than a slice of Bunny bread.

It was refreshing to have a fun Batman movie after those two dour Burton films.

Batman & Robin just went a bit too far, with the Bat-credit-card and such.
