Oh, I thought it was just going to be an upload of the whole movie.

Despite his refusal to sanction any of Jim Carey's buffoonery, Tommy Lee Jones decided to bring even more buffoonery.

Batman and Robin > Batman Forever
Tommy Lee Jones is the worst in this.

Batman Forever was for me fine for the type of Batman film it was trying to be, which was the light-hearted family romp. I think the frustrations most people have with it is that in going down the family friendly route it ended up ostracising and underutlising elements which could have been wonderful if the film was more serious. Jim Carrey has shown he can do dark and sinister in films like Number 23 and Cable Guy, and the concept of the Riddler as an obsessive Bruce Wayne stalker is a great one, but downplayed for Carrey to go munching the scenery. Tommy Lee Jones again can be fantastic, but is hammy and underused horribly as Two Face, who in turn is woefully adapted and going against so much of the character in the comics. Add to this the scenes which were cut out the film in exchange for the comedy, we lose Dent's escape from Arkham and Bruce's confrontation in the lower cave in exchange for Robin's joyride and the trick or treaters.

On the plus side though I did like that we had a Batman film which focused for once on Bruce rather then the villains, because lets be honest a multimillionaire who dresses in tights for a living has to be messed up, the score whilst not Danny Elfman levels is still great and of course it gave us kiss from a Rose.

All I know is Nicole Kidman looked amazing in this movie.

Wow. He holds the word "Nothing" for over twenty minutes?
