Review of Batman & Robin (1997) by Shawn C — 02 Mar 2013

This is not NEARLY as bad a movie as everyone says it is. Is it as good as the other Batman movies, or the reboots? No. But damnit, they at least tried to make a good movie, which is more than I can say for a lot of other movies dubbed "the worst film of all time".

Yes, Clooney is the worst Batman. Robin is annoying. Bat Girl is two-dimensional. It's poorly written, poorly executed and poorly paced. The special effects are good, but not amazing. But there seems to be this "timeless" nature to the film.

I could watch it over and over, and never get tired of it. Perhaps it's just nostalgia from watching this as a kid, or maybe it's the fact that someone just slapped the "Batman" brand on this, but I think this is a good movie.

Not the best, but at least watchable.
