> Looking back on the movie, O’Donnell said, “Warner Brothers just got greedy on it.” Hen said that usually they would wait three years before making a new film, but instead, Batman Forever was such a huge success that they said let’s do another one.”
> O’Donnell said he didn’t mind the bad reviews, but Schumacher, who died in 2020 at the age of 80, was very upset.
> “Joel was just devastated,” he said. “We were in Buenos Aires doing press and he didn’t want to come out of his hotel room. . . . The reviews have come out, you’ve gotten word that it wasn’t well received and that’s just painful, having to sit there and do promotion.”
Arnie had heart surgery mid production that didn’t go well and nearly died, guessing that’s why his stand in had to do a lot of leg work.
I watched this movie as a kid and I liked it. I watched it again a few months ago and I still liked it. I don’t understand why it’s hated. Sure it’s not as good as the dark knight, but it’s entertaining
Definitely not the best comic book movie but it’s also not the worst. The Schumacher films had a sort of charm to them that will never be replicated.
Man, it’s crazy to find out movies you kind of liked as a kid were regarded as dogwater.
i’d take batman & robin over the dark knight rises all day long.
The Schumacher batman movies and the street fighter movie are regarded entirely too harshly.
They do a great job of replicating the comic book feel at the time with the campiness and over the top costumes juxtaposed against a realistic world.
Its a fun movie for kids designed to sell cool toys, its not meant to be high art
I liked those Batman films BECAUSE they were silly! The very idea of Batman was humorous to begin with.
He’s a crazy rich dude that dresses in a bat suit, and his main enemy is a *clown*. Not even a supernatural clown like Pennywise, just a clown with poison laughing gas. Joker has the powers of a dentist, but he gives Batman a lot of trouble.
Funny how the reboot was titled Batman Begins as if there was nothing before that.
B&R did suck but I really liked Batman Forever. Nicole Kidman as Chase Meridien is peak hotness. And that soundtrack. Such a cool vibe to it all.
I watched Speed 2 instead. Not sure which movie is worse.
I’d rather watch Batman and Robin than Dark Knight Rises
Whatever I liked it as a kid and I like it now. Can’t take that away from me.
The great thing about Batman movies is they’re like James Bond, where there’s a movie for whatever mood you’re in. Batman and Robin is like the Roger Moore of the Batman series, and actually is the best Batman movie for when you’re sick of the dark serious ones
I love the take on a comedic Batman. It was fun, it was cheesy, I enjoyed it.
Didn’t it later come out that the studio interfered heavily with the script to turn the whole movie into one big toy commercial?
Batman movies are too serious. The goofiness of B&R was a nice throwback to the adam west Batman. It wasnt meant to be award worthy. It was meant to be fun.
Damn this article really puts it in perspective (although not directly indicating) how much this movie fucked up his career haha perhaps O’Donnell would have had a different path if not for being the Boy Wonder.
My parents, who grew up watching Adam West’s Batman absolutely loved the movies. I was a huge fan of Tim Burton’s movies and I don’t think I ever took these new films very seriously after that. I probably would have liked them more if I had seen the Shumacker films first.
Granted… I had a huge crush on Alicia Silverstone when I was a teen so the film got re-watched quite a bit.
Feel bad for Chris O’Donnell. Clooney got his career back on track but for O’Donnell and Alicia Silverstone that was probably devastating for them.
