Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

When Tim Burton and Michael Keaton announced that they'd had enough of the Batman franchise, director Joel Schumacher stepped in (with Burton as coproducer) to make this action-packed extravaganza starring Val Kilmer as the caped crusader. Batman is up against two of Gotham City's most colorful 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 a few 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

1.0 out of 5 stars Val Kilmer as Batman???, July 21 2008
This review is from: Batman Forever (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Widescreen) (DVD)
Nope, sorry, this is the most awfull Batman of them all. The intrigue is very stupid & I did not enjoy. I mean really, who wants to see Val Kilmer as Batman & Nicole Kidman with no personnality! Bad, Bad, Bad... skip this one & do not bother

5.0 out of 5 stars A Childhood Milestone For Me!! I LOVE This Movie!!, Aug 6 2011

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Batman Forever (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Widescreen) (DVD)
Batman Forever is probably one of my happiest childhood memories that I hold that has a very special place in my heart!! I'm sure many will agree with me that they spent some of their own childhood reliving Joel Schumacher's classic Batman Forever.

On the streets of Gotham, a new villain has emerged. Former Gotham City district attorney Harvey "Two Face" Dent (legendary Tommy Lee Jones) has gone rogue, and is calling out the Batman (Val Kilmer) The two combatants face off more than once with all of Gotham running for cover!!

Bruce Wayne then seeks the help of Dr. Chase Miridian (Nicole Kidman) to help better understand himself and Two Face. At the same time, the eccentric and brilliant Dr. Edward Nygma (Jim Carrey) is trying to sell Bruce Wayne on his idea of a device that can manipulate brain waves, to which Bruce turns down. Obsessed with Wayne, Nygma swears to get back at him and quits his job.

Nygma becomes The Riddler (in one of Carrey's most memorable roles) and joins forces with Two Face to hunt down and discover Batman's true identity. And during one of their acts against the city, they get The Flying Graysons killed in their circus act. All but Dick Grayson (Chris O' Donell), who's the sole survivor of the massacre. Bruce takes him in to look after him at his mansion and the two become friends.

The cast in this movie are TERRIFIC and well placed!! Although some of the humor and gags are a bit overly cheesy, it doesn't take too much away from the film. It's still an awesome roller coaster ride!! The people who heavily criticize this movie obviously don't know how to have fun at the movies, and take their movies wayyyy too seriously!!

No matter what anybody says, this movie will still have its place in cinema history!! Do yourself a favor and check it out!! It's really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be!!

It's just misunderstood!!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Transition Piece, Sep 25 2007
This review is from: Batman Forever (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Widescreen) (DVD)
Two Face has been terrorizing Gotham for a while and after executing a terrible sentence at Gotham Circus, he inadvertently changes the life of the Dark Knight forever by setting in motion a chain of events that lead to the birth of Batman's legendary partner, Robin.

Continuing in the "double villain" trend as established by Batman Returns, a disgruntled--and stalker-ish--employee of Wayne Industries, Edward Nigma, gets revenge on his boss by becoming the Riddler, and steals his way to the top of the technology enterprise game.

It's two-on-two in this third installment of the Batman franchise.

Riddle me this: what do you get when you cross Adam West and Michael Keaton? You get Val Kilmer's portrayal of Batman, one who is part serious and part humorous. This is the film that I've always viewed as the "transition piece" between the dark Bat flicks done by Tim Burton and the all-out camp-fest that is Batman & Robin.

Though a bit over the top, the story of Batman Forever is a good one and if you watch it just for that, you'll highly enjoy it.

It was the humor that brought this film down.

First, Batman ain't funny. He's so serious and dry he makes Al Gore look like Superman.

Second, Two Face isn't funny. Tommy Lee Jones, as much as I enjoy him as an actor, got the character wrong. Two Face is a gangster not another version of the Joker.

Third, Riddler isn't all whacky and zany, though by director Joel Schumacher's choice to cast Jim Carrey in the role, it's evident he was after Frank Gorshin's Riddler from the '60's instead of the comic book Riddler. Jim also got this part shortly after he became super famous so obviously this role was playing to his strength of being a rubber-faced whack job.

Fourth, though it was a neat thing to add Robin to the mix, Chris O'Donnell was too old, but, I suppose, having a kid running around in an anatomically correct rubber suit would have raised too many questions.

This film was 50/50 for me. Had its pluses and minuses. I'm going to leave this in the "decide for yourself" category.

Language warning: Blasphemy
