Is this movie really as bad as people made it out to be?


Of the first 4 Batman movies "Batman Forever" is the only one I haven't seen, I loved the two Tim Burton Batman films, I even enjoyed "Batman & Robin" on first viewing although it hasn't held up very well.

It’s better than Batman & Robin so if you liked that one you should have no problem.

A lot of people crap on it, but it's my favorite Batman movie. It's like a 1980s Jim Aparo comic book come to life - vibrant colors, lots of action, great cast, killer soundtrack...

No. I saw all four movies in the cinema when they first came out. Liked Batman, loved Batman Returns, liked Batman Forever, hated the guts out of Batman & Robin. And I still feel exactly the same way. People lump Batman Forever in with Batman & Robin with no real thought. BF has some problems, but there's some good stuff in there. It was hugely successful, and Kilmer a) did a good job, and b) looked great in the suit. B&R on the other hand was a pile of trash that deservedly performed badly.

This is my second favorite Batman after The Dark Knight.

These are my ratings for those 4 films:

Batman 8.5/10

Batman Returns 9/10

Batman Forever 5/10

Batman & Robin 3/10 (I can still watch it despite such a low rating - has some goofy-campy entertaining moments)

I do think you can 'enjoy' all of these movies with the right mindset.

'These are my ratings for those 4 films:

Other than I'd probably give Forever a 6/10 I'd pretty much agree with those.

Batman Forever isn't as good as the first two films and has a completely different tone, but it's still entertaining.

yep

I like it a bit but frankly they got Two Face wrong and they shouldn't have used him anyway. He wasn't even a part of the era they were imitating. Other than that it's fine. The first 2 movies are way better though. I wish they could've continued with Burton.
