Amazon.co.uk Review

When Tim Burton and Michael Keaton announced that they'd had enough of the Batman franchise, director JoelSchumacher stepped in (with Burton as coproducer) to make this action-packed extravaganza starring Val Kilmer as the capedcrusader. Batman is up against two of Gotham City's most colourful criminals, the Riddler (a role tailor-made for funnyman Jim Carrey) and the diabolical Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), who join forces to conquer Gotham's population with a brain-draining device. Nicole Kidman plays the seductive psychologist who wants to know what makes Batman tick. Boasting a redesigned Batmobile and plenty of new Bat hardware, Batman Forever also introduces Robin the Boy Wonder (Chris O'Donnell) whose close alliance with Batman led more than afew critics to ponder the series' homoerotic subtext. No matter how you interpret it, Schumacher's take on the Batman legacy is simultaneously amusing, lavishly epic and prone to chronic sensory overload. --Jeff Shannon

3.0 out of 5 stars *** AVERAGE? ***, 16 Oct 2002
By Mr. N. Carnegie (Kirkcaldy, Scotland, UK.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
First of all let me start by saying that I really liked Batman Returns but thought Batman was pretty poor, overlong and boring. The third instalment of Batman however is a bit of a mixed bag. Visually it's great but the darker tone of Tim Burton's previous two movies is replaced here with a much more 'camp' style, in something of a throwback to the old seventies TV series. To my mind this is something of a shame. Yes, Batman Forever is okay but it does takes this franchise back a step. For example, Val Kilmer doesn't do anything wrong but he hardly shines as Michael Keaton's replacement in the batsuit. Jim Carrey is well-cast as The Riddler but his riddles are (well to be frank) rubbish, Tommy Lee Jones is wasted and Nicole Kidman is well, forgettable. All in all the movie is just a bit of a mish mash. It's not bad. It's just not good. That said, my five year old nephew loves it (but he also thinks Batman and Robin is good too) if that's any recommendation.

2.0 out of 5 stars The one in which Robin arrives, 13 Sep 2004
By D. Evans "dantheman95" (Southport) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
When I first saw this in the cinema, back in 1995, I actually quite liked it, however I admit in retrospect it isn't really that good. Val Kilmer as the new Batman, does not have the weird off the wall appraoch which Michael Keaton demonstrated so well in Batman and Batman Returns. kilmer is simply too normal, to be convincing as a man, who let's face it, must have a lot of inner demons to go round dressed up in a Batsuit. Jim Carrey is fine as the Ridler, but the usually excellent Tommy Lee Jones, is simply miscast as Harvey 2 face. Clearly his star was shining brightly after his then recent success in the excellent "The Fugitive", and so was given the central role as villain, but he looks uncomfortable throughout. On the whole, this is ok, but
not great

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Batman film (though not the worst), 8 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Batman Forever [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
Oh dear! Tim Burton and Michael Keaton are lost in the mists of time, and so is the Batman series' sense of mystique. This third Batman film is played for laughs, with Jim Carrey brilliantly cast as a manic ad-libbing Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones slightly less suited to his role as Two-Face. Val Kilmer is not very good as the caped crusader, though Chris O'Donnell's Robin is a welcome addition to the tired recipe. The only praise I can give this film is that it's not as bad as the following movie, 'Batman and Robin'.
