Batman forever

The film directed by Joel Schumacher in 1995. So, this film is what it is, but at least it's not the silliest of them all, it has a few good points. Jim Carrey is a funny Riddles, for once, and second there is Tommy Lee Jones, which is always a good thing. I'm pretty much disinterested in Batman, here. Val Kilmer is not a bad choice, no, but the movie had so many lacking points! Nicole Kidman is one, because she was already in that stage of her career in which she doesn't care at all about acting, she doesn't even try, she just concentrates on appearing perfectly pretty. She succeeds, of course, she's amazingly pretty, but the character suffer from it.
She plays an intelligent, very accomplished and independent woman who finds nothing better than to start flirting with him. sob...
Chris O'Donnell plays Robin, the character who killed the show. Batman should be alone, not with a kid around. I know about the whole "Batman & Robin" comics and series, but still I never liked him. Plus the scene where he makes a big fuss, jumping everywhere simply to hang his clothes, to impress Alfred... :-/ I thought it was a stupid scene, but of course I didn't like the character, so pretty much nothing of what concerned him had my approval.
Jim Carrey does a lot of his funny faces that made him famous, but honestly I'd rather he didn't.
I like Alfred, though. "You're quite bright, despite what people say" :lol: Adorable.  Alfred is always lovely! Late Michael Gough played him.
Of course there are the usual things: a lot of noice, the big car... and the fact that the heroes win because they are lucky, not because they are better or smarter. No, they're lucky! And as usual the bad guys are stupid, of course. The funniest thing was Twoface and Riddler complimenting each other and hugging :lol:
Other annoying things, as if Robin wasn't enough, is that it makes no sense that in the end the girl leaves. One bad guy is dead, the other in a mental hospital, Batman's secret identity is safe, there appears to be nothing wrong, so why does she leaves if they liked each other? And what was the famous repressed memory of Bruce Wayne? It can't simply be that he saw a bat as a kid, right? By the way, it he repressed the memory of it how come he chose the bat as his simble? Because his mind knew about it even if he was not aware of it? Oh I don't know. I don't care.
