Bakercakes It pains me to write this, as I’ve been a Batman fan since I could first remember, but this movie is borderline unwatchable. Everything from the script, to the way it’s shot/edited, leaves one wondering what the Hell everybody involved with it was thinking, as it was being made. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Oliver J Critics Consensus: Loud, gaudy, and disastrously overstuffed, Batman & Robin buries the Dark Knight beneath a mountain of camp, clichés, and ice puns—freezing the once-promising franchise in a block of neon excess. Joel Schumacher’s follow-up to Batman Forever takes everything that was playful about its predecessor and cranks it to cartoonish extremes. George Clooney, despite his natural charisma, delivers a wooden and oddly detached Batman, while Chris O’Donnell’s Robin veers into bratty sidekick territory. Alicia Silverstone’s Batgirl feels like an afterthought, and Uma Thurman’s delightfully hammy Poison Ivy can’t quite save the film from its own absurdity. But it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze—armed with a barrage of frosty one-liners—who cements the movie’s reputation as a camp classic for all the wrong reasons. Beneath the rubber nipples and ice-themed spectacle, there’s little emotional core or narrative coherence. The overreliance on toyetic design, glossy sets, and winking self-parody turns Gotham into a garish carnival, stripping Batman of his brooding mystique. Verdict: Batman & Robin is an infamous misfire—an eye-popping, unintentional comedy that reminds us how easily style can smother substance. A franchise low point that’s cool only in temperature, not execution. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Edward L Critics and contemporary filmmakers fail to understand that comics are not literature but entertainment for teenage nerds (mainly boys). This film perfectly delivers that type of adaptation. Silverstone in her catholic schoolgirl outfit and Thurman in her green leotard fulfill their sexual fantasies while the remainder of the cast clearly understand that they are cardboard cut-out characters performing amusing stunts. The film follows the previous versions and is far superior to the more recent 'dark' reboots which waste the talents of serious actors, particularly, for example, Ledger and Leto, in attempting to present depth to the Joker in an attempt to outdo the definitive performance of Jack Nicholson. Don't believe the critics and enjoy the fun. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Ami S. By far the WORST Batman movie! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Claudio C Batman & Robin (1997) Despite Obnoxious and Silly Characters, This Underrated Movie is Funny (11,980 – 10 Oct 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) A new villain arrives in Gotham City, Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who steals a valuable diamond and freezes Robin (Chris O'Donnell). Batman (George Clooney) learns that Mr. Freeze is the scientist Doctor Victor Fries, who suffered an accident, falling into a cryogenic tank while trying to cure his beloved wife that has MacGregor's syndrome. Now he needs diamonds to power his cryogenic suit. Meanwhile, the insane scientist Doctor Jason Woodrue (John Glover) uses the research of his pacifist colleague (Uma Thurman) to develop a strong soldier. When she discovers, he tries to kill her and turns her into the seductive and lethal Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), who teams up with Mr. Freeze to kill Batman. In the Wayne Mansion, Alfred (Michael Gough)’s niece (Alicia Silverstone) arrives from London since her uncle is very sick. Now Bruce Wayne has to deal with Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Robin and the newcomer in the mansion. “Batman & Robin” (1997) is an underrated funny movie with obnoxious and silly characters. Alicia Silverstone performs a very irritating character and Chris O'Donnell, the Robin, is worse than she is. Uma Thurman performing a seductive character is not good and her voice is unconvincing and annoying. George Clooney performs the worst Batman. But for fans of the comics with this hero, these are details and do not affect the final result. “Batman & Robin” is inferior to the prequels, but it is a good movie. My vote is seven Title (Brazil): “Batman & Robin” My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review David C Los efectos son muy chafas la película es lenta este es el per Batman de todos la historia mal echa.
