Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 22 Jul 2007

Boring and near-unwatchable; its title sums it up with cruel accuracy…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Adam Smith (163) for Empire (3,446) on 19 Apr 2007

If you can see beyond the eye-scorching neon and don't mind the desecration of a superhero icon, there's a few crumbs of enjoyment to be had…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 15 Oct 2006

Although the film's frenetic rhythm is reminiscent of an Indiana Jones picture, visually Schumacher directs it like a musical, turning each…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Hal Hinson (447) for Washington Post (9,851) on 30 Dec 2005

Sometimes thrilling, but rarely inspired, it is thoroughly-almost perfectly-adequate…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 19 Oct 2005

The film ultimately lacks genuine suspense, and Schumacher unwisely moves the film back towards the camp of the 1960s television series…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Luke Y. Thompson (1,447) for LYTRules.com (112) on 26 Jun 2005

Kilmer's appeal in the role may be partially due to the fact that his actual public persona resembles Bruce Wayne more closely than that of…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 20 Jan 2005

The fatuousness of that title sums up Schumacher's approach. The director allows his few scrupulous choices to be overwhelmed by garish vaudeville…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Michael Dequina (1,684) for TheMovieReport.com (1,582) on 13 Jan 2004

Pluses: Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey as Two-Face and the Riddler, respectively; and the stunning production design…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 Jan 2004

It's an art-direction, Dolby-sound, special-effects extravaganza, a grand-scale effort that's more awe-inspiring than completely successful…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 04 Dec 2003

Directed by Joel Schumacher with occasional gestures toward social commentary, and enough spectacle to mask the movie's deep down emptiness…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Alex Sandell (357) for Juicy Cerebellum (357) on 15 Jul 2003

Otherwise known as, 'when Schumacher goes and wrecks a good thing…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Brian Lowry (913) for Variety (12,700) on 14 Jun 2003

Yet while Schumacher has largely accomplished the goal of delivering a cinematic comic book, he's also left the movie hollow at its core --…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Brian Mckay (336) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 21 Mar 2003

Schumaker proves that someone CAN make a Batman movie even worse than Burton. Val Kilmer's portrayal of the Dark Knight is stilted and lifeless…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 03 Sep 2002

More campy than Burton's Batman, but still good…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Dragan Antulov (311) for rec.arts.movies.reviews (2,454) on 10 Oct 2001

Weak plot, complete lack of character development and at least some actors who didn't look particularly interested in their roles…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 04 Nov 2000

Alas, Schumacher doesn't ride on the momentum; worse, he's not an action director, and the film grinds to a dead stop every time it tries to speed up…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 25 Jun 2000

There is no rhythm to the movie, no ebb and flow; it's all flat-out spectacle…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Film.com (1,892) on 01 Jan 2000

Minds in neutral, zoning out on the eye candy…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Tom Keogh (466) for Film.com (1,892) on 01 Jan 2000

Kilmer's good, not surprisingly, but he doesn't get to do a lot…

Review of Batman Forever (1995)

By Gillian Gaar (1) for Film.com (1,892) on 01 Jan 2000

The highs? Jim Carrey's Riddler, hands down…
