Batman & Robin [Region 2] description
Following Val Kilmer's portrayal of the caped crusader in Batman Forever, the fourth Batman feature stars George Clooney under the pointy-eared cowl, with Chris O'Donnell returning as Robin the Boy Wonder. This time the dynamic duo is up against the nefarious Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is bent on turning the world into an iceberg, and the slyly seductive but highly toxic Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), who wants to eliminate all animal life and turn the Earth into a gigantic greenhouse. Alicia Silverstone lends a hand as Batgirl, and Elle McPherson plays the thankless role of Batman/Bruce Wayne's fiancée. A sensory assault of dazzling colors, senseless action, and lavish sets run amok, this Batman & Robin offers an overdose of eye candy, but it is strictly for devoted Bat-o-philes. --Jeff Shannon |

Honestly, did anyone like this garbage? Really?

When this film bombed (and bombed, hell, it's still bombing today), many blamed the great George Clooney for it. Please! Clooney was the least of this film's problems. I saw this the first week it came out (with a friend who insisted on seeing it), and the theater vibe was the most uncomfortable one I've experienced. Man, this film is BAD. Overblown, overacted, overdirected, and very underwritten. The Batman franchise took years to recover. This is a great example of a film that was obviously cast before it was written. The cast is certainly intriguing, but that's not enough to carry a film.
The best part of the film was not actually on screen. During an interminable scene where Batgirl attempts to break into her Uncle Alfred's computer, she takes forever (and I mean forever) to figure out the password. It is Batgirl's (and Alfred's sister) mother's name, Peg. It is rather bleedin' obvious. A guy in the theater shouted Peg during this scene. A split second later, Batgirl said "Peg". The whole audience laughed (the only time they did the whole night), and the guy stood up and took a bow. His comic timing was perfect. This is the only fond memory I have of watching this film. Luckily, Clooney's career recovered (he is a great actor), and so did the Batman franchise.
