mvie mu-1062285: Finishing My Movie Backlog, I Revisit The Average "Batman Forever."

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:26:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - In the process of combining our DVD collections, my partner and I have found interesting overlaps and a huge number of differences in our tastes. So, for example, when it comes to the "Batman" franchise, neither of us have Tim Burton's original...

mvie mu-1062285: The Live Action Animated Batman Movie!

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 13:17:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BaronSamedi3 - Batman Forever is a cartoon. It doesn’t quite mimic a cartoon the way Batman and Robin does, putting cartoon sounds into scenes, and there aren’t any bubbles reading “Oof!” or “Pow!” like there were on the old...

mvie mu-1062285: Bubblegum in Gotham City

Mon, 28 May 2007 22:00:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flipperoid - Not only does Batman Forever dazzles with spectacular visuals and a candy-colored Gotham City and it successfully entraps the audience from scene one all the way to the suspenseful climax. The film is like a ride on the Batmobile. Watching Batman Forever...

mvie mu-1062285: Batman the Third: a 50/50 Split of Suck/Success

Fri, 11 May 2007 16:35:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author harley4u - It's one of those rare occasions when you really can blame the director and the script, because you can see Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones giving it all they've got as The Riddler and Two-Face, and Chris O'Donnell may be incapable of playing anything...

mvie mu-1062285: This Batman Sucks

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 01:46:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author videodude - I felt that Batman Forever was the beginning of the end for the Batman franchise in a downward spiral of ever more important marketing campaigns, one liners and big names. If anything, Batman Forever to me is a symbol of the almighty franchise run amok...

mvie mu-1062285: Holy rusted movie concepts Batman!

Sun, 27 Aug 2006 13:30:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jackiechad - The third Batman movie marks the first real break in continuity. There’s a different director, different Batman, different design, and different style. Whereas the first two are dark with an eye towards realism, this one is more like a newsstand...

mvie mu-1062285: Val Kilmer Takes Over the Role of Batman in Batman Forever

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 19:45:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dragonfire88 - Batman had been a popular comic book character for decades so it wasn’t surprising when Tim Burton made B
atman
in 1989 and followed it with B
atman
Returns in 1992. The...

mvie mu-1062285: Batman Forever — Riddled with Two-Faced Problems

Sat, 27 May 2006 14:42:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author elvisdo - The era of the Tim Burton Batman ended after the first two movies. Burton’s outlook on Batman brought a renewed interest in the character especially when he brought him back to his dark roots. But along the way Burton’s world also included...

mvie mu-1062285: Batman Ends

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 09:13:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ALawston - There are so many reasons to hate the third installment of the modern Batman films, it's truly bewildering. But you can boil the whole sorry saga down to this: the first two films, directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, rescued the comic...

mvie mu-1062285: Bob Reviews Comic Movies #3: "Batman Forever""

Sun, 3 Nov 2002 18:02:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robchip - By the time this, the third "Batman" film in Warner Bros. 1990s series, came to be, the concept of comic-book-based multimedia franchises had reached a sort of zenith. Every major studio was still busy trying to turn any superhero-related concept they...

mvie mu-1062285: The Downfall of the Batman Film Series Begins

Sat, 26 Oct 2002 17:01:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author silentrascal - "Batman Forever", the third entry in the Bat-film series, marks a turning point. This film begins the downfall in quality and watchability of the series. It begins it, and then is completed dramatically with the steaming pile of monkey feces that is...

mvie mu-1062285: Holy Horse Crap, Batman

Mon, 13 May 2002 15:41:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Simply_Crispy - How the mighty have fallen. Not, of course, that Joel Schumacher could ever in his career have been described as “mighty”. But then again, the phrase “how the intermittently quite good have fallen” doesn’t make for much of a point, does it? Anyway, I...

mvie mu-1062285: It all could've been so much better.

Tue, 15 Jan 2002 22:40:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andrewgilkison - On the surface, this film had loads of potential. Here we got the Dark Knight, after defeating Joker and Penguin in the first two films, finally goes up against one of his more intelligent foes in the Riddler, as well as his long time friend turned...

mvie mu-1062285: Riddle Me This, Batman: "When is the Comic Book Better than the Movie?"

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 23:01:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JediKermit - The answer: almost always.

Maybe there's something about the medium of comic books that doesn't translate well to the big screen. How, then, do we explain the successes of the comic book movies that DO work? Like "Superman," the first two...

mvie mu-1062285: Socko's Movie Review of Batman Forever

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 13:34:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mrsocko316 - "Your entrance was good, his was better. The difference...showmanship." Yep, it was this simple two-sentence structure that sent me on my voyage into viewing one of the worst superhero movies ever created. My brother and I have a tendency to toss movie...

mvie mu-1062285: Intruder Acknowledged

Tue, 24 Jul 2001 19:58:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BlackBear - What do you get when you take Tim Burton out of the director’s seat of a major motion picture series? A severely mixed up third Batman movie. At least Warner Brothers had the common sense to keep Mr. Burton on as producer. Boasting a strong cast, this...

mvie mu-1062285: Batman Forever

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 20:21:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brodieman - Big, brash and colourful, Batman Forever is everything a Batman movie shouldn't be.

Whereas Tim Burton's movies had subtexts galore buried beneath that thick veneer of doom and gloom, things are much less rewarding in this third installment of the...

mvie mu-1062285: Batman Goes Mainstream; R.I.P.

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 01:27:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LordofTerror - I should've seen it coming. I knew, in the back of mind, that it would happen. Seeing Batman's phenomenal success in the box office, the vultures of Hollywood descended on it, began to slowly kill it, and by the time Batman & Robin rolled around, had...

mvie mu-1062285: The Dark Knight: A Pale, Blond, Moron

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 21:25:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author madamecp - The terrifying experience of watching this movie inflicted itself upon me on Sunday, July 16, 2000. I wrote notes about it, and that's a good thing considering I've been blessed with largely forgetting what atrocities I beheld.

Before I start...

mvie mu-1062285: Batman Forever? It Just Feels Like that Sometimes

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 06:58:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author naphtalia - This was the third movie in the fantasy-adventure series of movies based on the Marvel comic book superhero. The series felt like it was going to go on forever; fortunately it didn't. The first of the series was a lot of fun. The second one was...

mvie mu-1062285: All Star Cast makes up for lack of script

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 18:11:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jeffs320 - I have been a really big fan of Batman since I knew how to talk, so naturally I see all the Batman movies the day that they open. After Batman Forever, I have decided to take a new approach and now I wait to see what everyone else thinks before I spend...

mvie mu-1062285: Best Batman

Thu, 25 May 2000 16:07:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author djmont - “Batman” may not be forever, but if this film is any indication of what the future holds for the Caped Crusader, he will be fighting crime for a long time to come. Although this is far from a great film, it is definitely the best of the series so far...

mvie mu-1062285: Heavens to Batsy, this Bat-sucks

Sat, 13 May 2000 00:46:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Daystorm - I've rarely seen a movie this stupid.

Too bad it had to be a comic book adaptation, since it completely undermines Tim Burton's previous movies (really, the first one, the second was mediocre at best) that attempt to bring comic books up into...

mvie mu-1062285: Joel Shuemacher+Batman=bad sequel

Mon, 8 May 2000 01:11:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author moloko - If there is one thing I do not like in a film series, it's when very obvious changes are made to a sequel making it seem like a completely different film than the previous film or films. Batman Forever is like this with a new atmosphere and a new actor...
