Batman and Robin take on Mr Freeze...
Joel Schumacher, what on Earth was he thinking with this one?
Compare this with the earlier Batman films, and you'll see its multiple failings, it lacks any of the darker atmosphere, opting instead for a note garish tone, it tries to be funny, it really isn't.
The one decent scene, Poison Ivy's big reveal, outrageously camp, but fun. The rest of the film is overdone in every aspect, over produced, over acted, it's all just too much. Too many heroes and villains.
As for the casting, all I can think of here, was that they packed it out with names, simply to smash The Box Office, whether they were right for the part of not, in this case, most of them were miscast.
There is no denying the brilliance of George Clooney, but in this instance, he was just totally miscast as Batman, I'm not sure his agent had his career in mind with this one. As for Arnie.... I'd rather think of him in Terminator and T2, this performance, is better forgotten.
The special effects look so cheap and tacky, this thing really hasn't aged at all well.
I think I deserve a Starbucks after sitting through it again, 2/10.
