8/10 Footnote: Watching now in my middle years I ask any red blooded male this is there anything more sexy than Lee Meriwether in the Catwoman suit? No wonder my Dad was a fan of the show back then. How any of the actors kept straight faces is anyones guess, but they did, and they collectively delighted millions of children and like minded adults in a way that can't be described to the none believers, thank holy god for the caped crusaders that always kept us safe. This full length outing for the dynamic duo is of course just an extended episode from the joyous TV series, just add a bit more money and you got a Bat Boat, a Bat Helicopter and erm, erm, Bat Shark Repellent! It's just wonderful I tell you. For many of us who grew up in the 60s and 70s this was the only Batman that mattered, pure unadulterated fun, all campy veneer and skin tight Technicolor suits. For conclusion I can say that Batman Forever is a kid friendly movie that is excellent if you have time to waste.The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin & Catwoman have joined forces to wreak havoc on Gotham City.and then the World! Can Batman & Robin save the day? Remember when Batman was fun? Not a serious scene in sight, no tales of revenge or personal demons to burst from the screen in a day glow burst of thunder. If you are a fan of Jim Carrey movies you'll surely like Batman Forever not only because of the unique performance that only Jim Carrey can give but also because this movie is way more colorful than other Batman movies. The plot is not bad and even interesting at some points. Of course there are many reasons why you might enjoy this movie.

Batman Forever uses Acclaims Mortal Kombat engine, which started to show its age in 1996. All these 'insane acts' that he was doing throughout the movie made me think that this is actually the Joker who for some reason got half of his face burnt. This is a platform game based on the hit movie of the same name. Tommy Lee Jones was playing a role that was closer to the Joker. Two Face is a character that suffers from split personality, but the movie didn't show that. But Tommy Lee Jones's portrayal of Two Face was terrible. Val Kilmer as Batman was ok (if compared to Michael Keaton), Jim Carrey also did a quite good job as the Riddler.

I'm aware that this movie is comic based and so I shouldn't expect much from it but this horrible script makes it look more like a parody. It's filled with unfunny and dumb jokes and poorly written dialogues. While the plot is not that bad, the script is just plain awful. One of the things that ruins this movie is the awful script. It is definitely not a good movie but it just isn't as bad as everyone is saying. What I can say about Batman Forever is that it is getting too much hate.
