Torrin-McFinn77 I'd only seen this film a few times and remember some of the elements that made it different from the Tim Burton ones. Pat Hingle and Michael Gough return as Commissioner Gordon and Alfred respectively, but the rest of the cast is new. Two new villains and a new Gotham City. It felt like Joel Schumacher overdid it with how he did the city and the characters. Gotham looks like Tokyo with all the neon and the Greco-Roman naked human statues. A little too Art Deco to be honest. Jim Carrey was OK in this, this film being the first of his movies I had seen. But I did not care for how they did Two-Face with his mannerisms and appearance. It was a bit too overdone. The Bat and Robin suits were a little too much like Roman gladiator breastplates (you have to watch the movie in order to see what I mean). But this film isn't as bad as the second Joel Schumacher Batman outing although I'd rather go with Mask of the Phantasm and the Dark Knight trilogy any day. There were some cheesy moments that will make you go WTF though I did not seem to mind when I was younger. Still, it's not that bad, but not that great either.

ninasalo Better than Batman and robin but still mediocre film. It tries too hard to combine Tim Burtons characters with their campy earlier versions. The result is unsatisfying movie thats more of a product than a actual piece of decent scripting!

cinemajesty Movie Review: "Batman Forever" (1995)A succession to Tim Burton's two-times interpretation of legendary comicbook-superhero "Batman", created by Bob Kane (1915-1998), comes at a hard stack of a 100 Million Production Value, when director Joel Schumacher needs to utilize all his routine and color forcing companionship with cinematogrpher Stephen Goldblatt, who saves the picture to be a failure, when "Hollywood" all-stars as Nicole Kidman as Deluxe support, Tommy-Lee Jones as over-made-up Two-Face, Jim Carrey as timeless show-stealing character of "The Riddler" to Val Kilmer as solid, but not spectacular "Bruce Wayne" deliver a surprisingly visceral comic-action event-movie, which annoys and fascinates at the same time, when out-of-shadow actor Chris O'Donnell as "Dick Grayson aka Robin" brings balance to a 115-Minute-Cut; keeping it even with unforgiven continuity "loopholes" of life-and-death situation at times of showdown after helicopter-, batmobile- and batboat-actions in atmospheric ambience throughout towards extraordinary less-to-no digital interference live-action 2nd unit photography, when unforntunately the gothic-to-morbid suspense of the Tim Burton directed, Michael Keaton starred precessors can not be reached to full satisfactions.Nevertheless due to its boldness of image system splendors and ultra-stark opening sequence "Batman Forever" stays relevant for revisits concerning any past, present or future generation of cinematic spectactors presented exclusively as proudly by Warner Bros.

Kyle Swanson Now I'm not going to review the first two Batman movies (Directed by Tim Burton, one of my favorite Directors), because I did see them before, but I think those are films that need to speak to themselves, I think they're well made and are just heartwarming (According to me) when watching them. So I'm just going to cut to this one, I do looks at this particular film quite interesting which lead to me wanting to talk about it. This film, eh. As just a movie, it well entertaining, got ton of mostly great action, a decent story, and overall just a good flick, but all of that makes this movie's score completely boiled down by the fact it's a batman film, as being a PG-13 rated film like the first two, but with a whole different director (Joel Schumacher) and a new style, it just easily ruins some things here and there, but yet at the same time there are some general praises I'll give to this film.Basically there much to say about the story that there's a new villain in Gotham, calling himself Two-Face, who use to be a District Attorney named Harvey Dent, who just basically causing chaos in Gotham, for pretty much no reason, I guess Insanity, and of-course it up for Batman to stop this like always. Meanwhile, there's what will eventually be another new villain, Dr. Edward Nygma, is on a revengeful mission I guess, by completing ending-up losing his mind, and then became the "Riddler" and decide to joined Two-Face's range of terror in Gotham, as like his partner-in-crime, and it up for Batman, and eventually later, Robin, to stop these Lunatics. Yeah, it basically that.I really to start this off with the Characters by talking about Two-Face, who I really despises the most about this movie. Now Two-Face is one of my favorite batman villains, just his concept I always seems to like, and he's actually one of my favorite characters from the Animated Series, due to the fact he was just a deeply emotional character. Here however, he not that Emotional, and he's basically like some Joker knock-off, it just pretty much ruins his character. He showed acting like a Idiot, which is nothing like Two-Face from the comics or the cartoon was even like, he was more intelligent than this. There one scene in particular, that totally makes me just disappointed with how they made him in this, he flip his coin, gotten to the normal side, and decide to flip it again to the mess-up side, just what the hell, he already made-up his FREAKING MIND!!! I thought the decide of his burned face was just sloppy, like they hired some bum who is a terrible artist and being the lazy low-life he is, just butchered it. Riddler on the other hand, I honestly kinda like in this movie, I totally think he would be this fun anyways, like I like the fact they turn him into like how you imagined a Psycho would be like, laughing insanely, all of this world he developing it just great, going back to how this is fun to watch as just a film, not a batman film, this is one of the reason, and I thought comedy legend Jim Carrey, did a well-done job, I love his first scene in this film as just blain Edward Nygma, just a good emotion he shows, better than how Two-Face is seen, my god. Batman I thought was kinda okay in this, now I like they kinda at least tries their best at making Batman kinda of a menacing guy to Criminals, and they did their best, so does Val Kilmer, but he's no Michael Kenton, I like however they actually made a better batman costume than the one in the first two, because it was just might been hard to even moved that around if you can only imagined, especially in Action scenes, but here they finally put acts together and decide to made a brand new with better speed with it, although I'm not really a big fan of the suit shown at the end of the movie, which was just unnecessary. Robin in this movie, I don't know why they could've cast a much younger, like a actual teenager, it not like Chris O'Donnell did a terrible job here, it just makes more sense that they could've cast someone younger, one big reason is that Bruce Wayne adopted him after his parents dies, which is weird because he looks about in his 20s, but oh-well. His origin story was kinda good in this, I was glad they didn't butchered him here either, well until the next movie. And last and not least, the sexy criminal Psychiatrist, Chase Meridian, played by the gorgeous Nicole Kidman. Now I found more of a interesting love interest for Batman/Bruce Wayne than Nicki Vale from the first movie, despite she was well-attractive. It just about Meridian's personality and her relationship with Bruce Wayne and Batman was just amusing and at the same time interesting to see.So overall, as there quite a-bit of problems like the new design of Gotham, boy don't get me started, all I'm going to say it just not fitting to the name, and yeah, but I said its an entertaining film, but as a batman movie, no. So if you want to entertain yourself with something, like maybe a guilty pressure, I would recommend you checking this out, but if you want to see a good well-done Batman movie, stay away from this.
