Batman Forever

Very good. This movie is not near as bad as many make it out to be. It all depends of taste and what you want out of a Batman movie. Some people can see merit in Batman Forever as much as the Time Burton movies and the Christopher Nolan movies. In some ways I like this one more.

Ok but Two-Face and Riddler slayed

Batman Forever is probably the only movie I saw back to back at the theater. I enjoyed it a lot until I realized just how bad a lot of Batman's dialogue is. "I wouldn't fit in at a family pic-nic" or "I'll get drive-thru."
I must have had my brain shut off when I saw it back to back. The movie is fun if you don't think about how bad it is compared to the 1989 film before it.
Jim Carrey's over-acting along with Tommy Lee Jones' is a shame. Since they both would have been great in their roles if the film wasn’t so campy. If Carrey was told to tone it down and shut the F up and be more serious as the Riddler by a better director. He could have been great.
Kilmer isn’t a bad Bruce Wayne and is a better Bruce Wayne than he is Batman. Maybe because he has better lines as just Bruce.
I think the movie is well cast but the approach they took was definitely in the wrong direction. Batman & Robin is proof because that took a wrong direction and took the franchise straight off a cliff.

Spectacular, but with too many effects.

Jim Carrey makes this movie watchable for me. His Riddler is odd, but I enjoyed it enough.

It feels more like a spoof. It's so bad it's entertaining. The amount of cringy one-liners is wild.

The streetfight with the neon light was fun though.

"DOES ANYBODY ELSE FEEL LIKE A FRIED EGG?!"

This is such a hot mess. As bad as it is, I can't look away any time Two-Face or Riddler are on screen.

It's bad but in the most entertaining of ways. I had way more fun watching this than I did with either of Burton's Batman films. It's a guilty pleasure of sorts.

Watching this movie in a cinema in 2024 is a surprisingly refreshing experience. There's something about this era of superhero movies that feels so much more interesting and fun than the slop of today.
Yes, it's very campy. And yes, the fight choreography is not great and hard to follow. But the colours and lighting is dynamic and moody in an immersive way. The pacing is good, it chugs along nicely. We don't get bogged down in too many moments of explanation and backstory just feels like it occurs very naturally.
I understand why people think that this is a bad movie in its historical context. But I think looking at it with fresh eyes, compared to the things that are coming out today, it feels pretty good actually. It's by no means a perfect movie. I think the camp really is overdone at certain points, but it also fits the characters.

With this movie, the franchise slips off into too much slapstick an too little story. Fitting stars in at all cost does not save the movie from being mediocre.

Despite several plot holes, the film manages to be funny and provides moments of entertainment with absurd situations. So, don't expect a serious film, as is evident in the line 'no, I'm going to follow the path'. The actor chosen to play Robin appears to be too old for the role. As for the relationship with the old Batman films, I was unsure whether this film is a sequel or not, as I was expecting a connection to the previous films. And once again, a serious romance appears, something that has already happened in two previous Batman films, which seems repetitive
