Plot
Gotham has a new villain with tactics that are cold as ice. George Clooney Batman and Robin must save the day once again, though this time another Bat(girl) comes to break the ice. They must also fight Poison Ivy, who also suffers from a cold heart of her own.
Pros
This film has interesting scenery, it’s dark, but has a cartoony feel to it. Colors seem richer and more abundant, which differs greatly from the first two Batman films. Chris O’Donnell is OK in this, though there really wasn’t any actor that really stood out in this.
Cons
George Clooney doesn’t play Bruce Wayne, he plays George Clooney, who happens to be Batman. I mean, seriously, George Clooney as Batman? Yikes. Alicia Silverstone is OK, but the role didn’t feel needed. I mean, there were too many characters in this movie. There was Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze and Bane. Bane was terrible by the way. Mr. Freeze was only good because you can quote so many of his stupid lines. This is not a movie you watch to be blown away, that’s for sure.
Fun Fact: According to Chris O’Donnell, Joel Shumacher would tell the cast to remember that they were making a cartoon.
I agree, Clooney as Batman was pretty bad. Interesting fact about the director, probably the last thing Christipher Nolan would have told his cast with the newer films.
Yeah, Clooney is my least favorite Batman.
Nooooooooooes! Dislike! This is the greatest movie known to man! Nations were built on the back of this movie!
I’m pretty sure nations have crumbled because of this movie. Maybe I didn’t like this movie because I suffer from a cold heart. Oh yeah, I just said that.
Ugggh, the character of Bane is so mishandled in this movie. Like he would ever play goon to Ivy. Just ridiculous.
I’m probably not the only one that tries to forget that he’s in it.
Now I’m kind of curious to find out who the actor was, and I’m also questioning why Bane was even put in this movie. It’s like Schumacher didn’t even know who the character was, just saw a picture and thought he was scary and cartoonish at the same time.
He was a professional wrestler. I think he died not long after the film’s release. I’m not quite sure what Schumacher was thinking.
