Batman & Robin


Batman And Robin
Directed By: Joel Schumacher




The Story
The story was just as bad, just as cringey, and just as cheesey as i remembered from my last viewing. The story is one big giant mess, with way to much happening, and wayyy to many characters on screen. The writers should of probably spent more time thinking about the story instead of thinking about bad jokes, and bad one liners for Mr Freeze. Honestly, everything about this movie screams NO. There's the Batman credit card, which of course comes in handy if Batman needs to do a spot of shopping. There's the Batman ice skates, which of course come in handy if you ever come face to face with a villain you found out about 5 minutes earlier. There's Batman nipples, there's Batgirl, and of course there's shots of Batman's nice tight ass while he suits up. All stuff that Christopher Nolan really should of thought about. Sorry about the sarcasm.



The Cast
The cast are awful. George Clooney is as wooden as... well.. wood. Chris O'Donnell is terrible. Alicia Silverstone is terrible. Uma Thurman is terrible, but sexy, really sexy. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is?, well you guessed it TERRIBLE. The whole cast really are that bad.

Movie Trivia: In an interview the cast members were asked what item from filming they would like to take home with them. Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he would be taking Mr. Freeze's armor home, Uma Thurman said that she wanted Ivy's floral throne, and Elle Macpherson said that she just wanted a cap or something with the "Batman & Robin" logo before anyone else. When asked, George Clooney said he wanted Elle Macpherson.

Due to the difficulty and large amount of time it took to remove the Batman suit, George Clooney reportedly urinated in his suit on at least one occasion.

Joel Schumacher had several meetings with Warner Bros. to get them to reconsider letting him do another Batman movie. Schumacher wanted to take the film back to its darker roots and make a "Batman: Year One" movie. Schumacher wanted to cast Kurt Russell as a young Commissioner Gordon and would have had Selina Kyle as a young, beautiful African-American woman living in the ghetto. However, Warner Bros. decided not to rehire Schumacher and the Batman film franchise remained in development limbo for years until Batman Begins (2005).
Movie Highlight
I really can't pick any type of movie highlight. The movie is just that bad that there's no positives that i can even think of writing. I've sat and tryed to think of something, anything that i could just write and the only thing i could think of was Uma Thurman. She is pretty damn sexy and she's certainly the only positive thing to come out of this movie.



Verdict
Overall Batman And Robin is the worst Batman movie ive ever seen (including Animated). Infact, its probably one of the worst movies ive ever seen full stop. Its beyond a joke, its beyond cheesey, its beyond Cringey, its beyond anything good.
