It just doesn't feel like Batman. I like Val Kilmer, but not as Batman. Jim Carey is funnny, but not a good villian.

i mean, it seems they just blew their budget on the talent... Jim Carey, Tommy Lee Jones, Chirs O'Donnel,

and i didn't like the Bat mobile.

I enjoyed Forever.

Jim Carey is funnny, but not a good villian.

He actually gave a great rendition of the Riddler, which reminded me greatly of the Frank Gorshin portrayal. The choice of hair was crap, though.

The setting felt ripped out of the cartoon and the cartoonish villains were a great fit. It felt more Batman than anything Nolan did.

If they were using the cartoon as inspiration, they could have just cast Hamill. His live-action portrayal of the Trickster is what got him the role of the Joker... well, technically what got him the role of the Joker was Tim Curry turning it down (or not working out), but that's what got his name in there as a second choice.

Otherwise they had just done the Joker in 1989 and -- considering he dies at the end -- they couldn't re-use him since the series was supposed to be connected... even though they wound up switching so much between Returns and Forever that it might as well have been a new series.

There was one after Forever and before Nolan's trilogy called Batman & Robin. It had Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy, Arnold Swharzenegger as Mr. Freeze, and someone as Bane!

They were very much intentional. The Adam West Batman's humor was accidental either. And after having the Penguin threaten to drown children and biting off somebody's nose in Batman Returns, the studios wanted something a lot lighter and campier.

When I was the age I was when it came out (I think I was in fourth, fifth grade or sixth)...

Young Nicole Kidman gave me happy inexplicable feels down below I didnt know how to handle.

Jim Carrey was one of my favorite actors at the time.

And the Seal song is still one of my favorites ever.

So trash the movie if you want but it means nothing to me...it was such a big part if my childhood. Its one of those situations where the movie maybe wasn't great in retrospect...but it doesn't matter one bit in my book.

Batman Forever was the one that reminded me the most of the 1966 TV series. (Well, Batman and Robin did too.) A bit campy with better special effects than the 60s.

I've always said, if Tommy Lee Jones had played Two-Face to the fullest of his abilities, we might be saying "Aaron Eckhart was pretty good, but Tommy Lee Jones was AMAZING."

Jones problem was that for whatever reason, his Two-Face was trying to keep up with Carrey, which is impossible and should never be tried. Carrey's typical acting style is to be bombastic and over-the-top; you would have needed a cold, calculating Two-Face to offset that.

That's probably part of it. Another part is the same issue as the Star Wars prequels. You have a bunch of talented actors who could obviously have given better performances, but the bad script and bad directing brings the whole thing down. This seems true of both Forever and Robin
