Member Rating:  
This was the third follow-up to Tim Burton's Batman (1989), the original revisionist look at the Gotham City legend, as well as the second in the Batman series directed by Joel Schumacher and the first featuring George Clooney as the Caped Crusader; it features not one but two super-villains, and a new heroine to fight crime alongside Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) and Dick Grayson (aka Robin) (Chris O'Donnell). The experiments of Dr. Victor Fries (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to preserve his late wife cryogenically have gone horribly wrong, turning him into the evil genius Mr. Freeze, who must keep his body at sub-zero temperature in order to say alive -- and he wants to put Gotham City on ice. Shy horticulturist Pamela Isley (Uma Thurman) goes a bit wild with a Venus Fly Trap-like creation she's been working on and mutates into Poison Ivy, who wants to kill all the people on Earth so plants can take over. Can Batman and Robin stop these fiends before their plans go too far? Meanwhile, Bruce and Dick's faithful butler Alfred (Michael Gough) isn't feeling well, so his niece Barbara (Alicia Silverstone) comes to pay a visit. When Barbara finds out what her uncle's employers do in their spare time, she decides she wants in on the action, and she joins the crime fighting twosome as Batgirl. Batman & Robin also features Jesse Ventura in a small role as a prison guard; it would be his last film role before becoming Governor of Minnesota in 1998. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    the only reason i like this movie is because arnold schwarzenegger (hell yeah i can spell his name!!) is in it. but his appereance in the movie wasnt good enough to make me like it. plus, BAT-NIPPLES?!?! and puh-lease, bane can totally talk in the tv shows and the comics, but he says a word like in each scene...good thing christopher nolan saved the batman name! if you are a true batman fan, do NOT watch this movie, overall: GARBAGE

    this is one of those movies where everyone tells you how bad it is and you look foward to seeing it just to see how dumb it is and it doesnt dissapoint in that department, if you like really campy movies than this is pure fun but if your a big batman fan than you probably wont like it much, the big problem with the movie is that too much towards children and feels much more like the 1960's tv show as intended

    Yes   |   No
