I mean, I knew it was bad, but after not watching it in full since at least 1998, I completely forgot just how bad it was. Hell, if it wasn't for watching it with Kevin Smith's commentary, I'd have been bored to death. For all the bad Mr. Freeze puns, and the corny kid stuff from Schumacher, it's just dull as dirt for 75% of it.

Despite the film's flaws, I still love Schumacher's neon filled vision of Gotham.

I enjoy it despite its terribleness because I look at it as a big screen version of the tv show.
Arnold's version of Mr. Freeze with the ice puns is lifted DIRECTLY from the Sixties show.

Have you played the drinking game?
Drink every time there's a pun. I've played it twice. Both times needed an intermission halfway through.

I love how even though they've never fought nor even heard of Mr. Freeze before, Batman and Robin have ice skates built into their boots. judging by the clothes of Gotham's citizens, I don't think its winter, so they've got a two inch blade in their boots just cause
another note, how would Freeze's ship slaughter thousands if it hit? Was there a built-in nuclear bomb they forgot to tell us about?

I still think it's better than The Dark Knight Rises. Yep, seriously.

Batman and Robin was a terrible Batman movie, but it's a good, dumb, popcorn flick.

Despite the film's flaws, I still love Schumacher's neon filled vision of Gotham. Agreed. And I'm glad that Arkham City, and even moreso Origins, included some of those aesthetics.

I still prefer it to Batman forever, god that movie is bad.
B&R is bad but it's still somewhat fun, Forever is just embarrassing

Clooney is still the worst Batman ever...I don't know which character he thought he was playing, but it wasn't even a decent tribute to West. It's like he was playing Bruce Wayne even when he had the cowl on...

Him and Uma Thurman look like they're having the time of their lives. Coincidentally, they're by far the most entertaining parts of the movie.

I enjoyed it.
I do think Batman Forever is a lot better than people give it credit for.

Thing about Forever is; while I enjoy it too, and it IS as bad as and Robin, it was almost universally loved when it first came out.
