Review of Batman Forever (1995) by Mitchell S — 11 Jul 2017

I was one of the few who noticed discrepancies with Joel Schumacher's style - not complimenting Burton's at all - in the first film, before it became painfully obvious in the second. This film suffered from a variety of slapstick performances, led by Jim Carrey who failed to convey any real sense of horror.

In contrast, witness the expert performance by Gotham's Cory Michael Smith, who tributes Jim Carrey elastic sense of humor while still staying grounded in psychosis. The film is elevated by one factor - the gorgeous Nicole Kidman in her prime, one of the few screen sirens I fell in love with.
