Synopsis
The Caped Crusader returns to battle the abominable Mr. Freeze and green-thumbed Poison Ivy. To save his ailing wife, Dr. Victor Fries turns to a life of crime after a hideous accident makes him unable to tolerate even moderate temperatures, while Dr. Pamela Isley falls victim to mutated plant DNA when things go awry in a jungle laboratory funded by Wayne Industries. Of course, though their interests are diametrically opposed (Freeze wants another Ice Age; Ivy wants to make the world safe for plants), the two villains team up to defeat Gotham's dynamic duo of Batman and Robin, who are joined by butler Alfred's motorcycle-obsessed niece as Batgirl. And when Alfred is diagnosed as having the same terminal disease as Freeze's wife, the trio find themselves not only fighting an altruistic battle, but a personal one as well. A frenetic, colourful, and often overwhelming sequel to 'Batman', 'Batman Returns', and 'Batman Forever'.

2.0 out of 5 stars "My eyes are still sore from watching that..", 26 Sep 2005
I'm not going to lie to you.. I hate this film. I think it's an insult to the complete Batman mythology, nay, cinema itself.
But whats interesting to note is that without it, we probably would never have gotten "Batman Begins", at least not in its
current form. What this film did was show film makers how NOT to do a Batman film.
If this film hadn't have gotten the critical and commercial hammering that it so rightly deserved, then Hollywood would
most likely have hammered out another Bat-Flick, complete with the lunch boxes, socks, bed covers, etc, etc.
Another angle to look at the film from is that it is actually a great film for kids. You have your ott action sequences,
bright colours, menacing villains (for a 5-9 year old..I am not scared of a walking fridge man), and in that sense,
I'm happy this film exists, because as much as I love 'Begins', its not a film for everyone. So to have various incarnations
of a much loved character on the big screen is wonderful, as it can be enjoyed by so many age groups.
Warners really have provided a great package for this film, complete with commentary, documentares, music video's, etc.
So, I will be happy to own this film with the other 3 entry's in the franchise, and close the door on that era in the Batman Film Saga..just as another opens with 'Batman Begins'..

2.0 out of 5 stars George Clooney is Batman, 11 Sep 2005
By D. Evans "dantheman95" (Southport) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
With George Clooney's rapidly raising popularity in 1997, following his success in the drama series ER, he may have seemed an obvious choice to take over the Batman role from Val Kilmer. However in retrospect Clooney is somewhat miscast, in this , easily the weakest of the Batman films. Clooney does not have the slight weirdness that made Michael Kaeton so ideal as the haunted Bruce Wayne of the first 2 films. The film also lacks the memorable villains of the earlier films, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, playing his first bad guy role since 1984s The Terminator, making a very poor Mr Freeze. Indeed his one liners such as "my heart is as cold as ice" beocme irriating very quickly. The introduction of Batgirl is also a mistake, and in a case of history repeating itself her arrival saw the cancellation of the 1960's series, just as this was to be the last Batman film for many years. The subplot concerning Alfred is also weak, and the campness introduced to this film is a million miles away from the darkness of the 1989 film.

1.0 out of 5 stars What A Terrible Movie, 23 Jan 2006
By Steven Stewart "Critic Extraordinaire" (steveo.stewart@hotmail.co.uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I was a big fan of all the previous Batman films although they never got enough love either but the final film in the series until the new Batman Begins was truly terrible with not only the corny lines but the terrible acting by 2 of my favourite actors in Uma Thurman & Arnold Schwarzenegger who played Poison Ivy & Mr Freeze.
In the previous film we were introduced to Robin which i thought was a good choice for the movie series but then we had to be introduced in this movie to Batgirl which was a character who was brought into the original comic series when all this woman equality thing started in the 70's. Don't get me wrong i'm all for women having equal rights with men but to destroy such great games and comics with other things like Supergirl, She Hulk, Ms Pacman & Batgirl i find it to of gone a bit too far but anyway back to the film.
At times i must admit it was entertaining but they were only in 5 minute stints and then we were back to the terribleness of the movie even if terribleness is a word. Although as bad as it was it seemed to entertain my little cousin and keep him occupied for an hour and a half and he is 5 so if you have any kids around about that age then buy the movie just for them and you never know you might enjoy it too but that is a big might.
