Batman Forever
Joel Schumacher's first Batman film got rid of the fairytale-infused heinousness of Batman Returns. Instead, it opted for a more traditional type of 1990s blockbuster. All in all, It's not that terrible, even if Batman (by Kilmer) is lifeless and Dick Grayson (portrayed by Chris O'Donnell) is a bland addition. This is because Tommy Lee Jones (as Two-Face) and Jim Carrey as the Riddler provide pantomime-style performances that make Batman Forever rather enjoyable to watch.
The weak connections in Batman Forever do not just end with Kilmer and O'Donnell. Dr Chase Meridian (by Nicole Kidman) exudes big CD-ROM game vitality but contributes nothing to the picture. Batman Forever is not terrific in general, but it narrowly avoids being the campy mess that "Batman and Robin" is. Apart from that, can we really hold a grudge against the film that brought us the famous song 'Kiss From A Rose' performed by Seal?
