I watched BF on cable a few months back and it held up a lot better than I remembered. While I do think it signalled the beginning of the end for the original series, it's a decent flick on it's own merits. It's well-paced, Val Kilmer is a pretty good Batman, I even like Robin in this film (it was in B&R he became an annoying brat), the action scenes, OTT as they are, are entertaining and fun, and I don't even mind the neon look in this movie. While I much prefer the dark and seedy Gotham, I dug the BF Gotham as well, which had a cool futuristic look and vibe to it. The movie as a whole is pretty entertaining too, and far from boring.
On the downside, both Riddler and Two-Face are depicted terribly, which is unfortunate since both TLJ and Jim Carrey were well-casted in the roles but had terrible characterization and writing for their characters to work with. I also can't stand a lot of the one-liners and humor in the film, which takes away from the mood for me. All in all though, BF has held up a lot better than I remembered and while a hugely inferior effort compared to the Burton and Nolan films, it's easily miles better than B&R and is a decent rainy day flick I can get some enjoyment out of now and then. I'd give it about a 6/10.
Just my .02 on the movie.
