Description: Riddle me this, riddle me that, you'll adventure on the wings of bat! Brace for excitement as Val Kilmer (Batman), Tommy Lee Jones (Two-Face), Jim Carrey (the Riddler), Nicole Kidman (Dr. Chase Meridian) and Chris O'Donnell (Robin) star in the third spectacular film in Warner Bros.' Batman series. Joel Schumacher (The Client) directs and Tim Burton co-produces this thrill-ride of a movie that thunders along on Batmobile, Batwing, Batboat, Batsub and bold heroics. Hang on!
Amazon.com: When Tim Burton and Michael Keaton announced that they'd had enough of the Batman franchise, director Joel Schumacher stepped in (with Burton as coproducer) to make this action-packed extravaganza starring Val Kilmer as the caped crusader. Batman is up against two of Gotham City's most colorful criminals, the Riddler (a role tailor-made for funnyman Jim Carrey) and the diabolical Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), who join forces to conquer Gotham's population with a brain-draining device. Nicole Kidman plays the seductive psychologist who wants to know what makes Batman tick. Boasting a redesigned Batmobile and plenty of new Bat hardware, Batman Forever also introduces Robin the Boy Wonder (Chris O'Donnell) whose close alliance with Batman led more than a few critics to ponder the series' homoerotic subtext. No matter how you interpret it, Schumacher's take on the Batman legacy is simultaneously amusing, lavishly epic, and prone to chronic sensory overload. --Jeff Shannon

Campy Batman can work with a good cast and right atmosphere, but here it mixes with dark Batsy and has a bad cast. (Except Jim Carrery.)
Rating: - BATMAN ON ACID!
'Batman Forever' had many roadblocks to break through to get made! First off, the studio was afraid to let Burton direct another Batman film fearing it would be so dark, it would appall the general audience. Second this made Keaton uneasy about committing to the new film, so...... enter Joel Schumacher and Val Kilmer(Keaton's lips replacement). The only thing left of Burton in this film is the opening WB logo turning to Dark Knight ala the first two Batman films and the ending at the creepy Arkham Asylum, in between is a lot of Burton imitations,....so maybe the folks watching won't notice...I guess?
Unfortunately, it's impossible not to notice as this cartoon vision of the Dark Knight unfolds into a psychedelic acid laced circus! Two great performances by are next pecking order villains Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face and Jim Carrey as The Riddler. While over the top they both fit the film's cartoon-ish ... Read More

After the modest "Batman" and the disappointing "Batman Returns" comes
"Batman Forever," featuring an all-star cast: Val Kilmer, Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones (Best Supporting Actor, "The Fugitive; 1993), Jim Carrey ("The Mask"), Nicole Kidman ("Far And Away," "To Die For," "Days Of Thunder"), Chris O'Donnell ("The Three Musketeers") and Drew Barrymore ("E.T.," "Firestarter") in a very minor role as one of Two-Face's (Jones) henchwomen. This new installment in the franchise, which sadly went into hibernation after "Batman & Robin" and was fully reborn out of the ashes with the spectacular "Batman Begins" (which was better than "Batman" and
"Batman Returns") fires on all cylinders here. The storyline is much better developed, as the first two films had a comic-book feel to them and lacked any emotional depth to the characters and physical depth to the action sequences. Rated PG for some strong ... Read More
