Most of the people who make stuff up are pretty universally thought of as trolls. El Payeso admits it himself, everyone hates Spider-Bat, etc.

But there's still some people who are actually rational about it. Batattack, Shadowbat69, and those are the people I was talking about.

Thanks.

I don't think Batattack is rational, but meh. Its funny cause he used to be on the band-wagon as well if I remember correctly.

I am rational when people can respect my opinion. As for Batman Begins, I don't mind it anymore (I can watch it all in one sitting now)...but than again I still don't love it as much as Batman (1989), and never will.

People usually do respect opinions, unless the are positioned as fact ... when they're in fact, false.

but than again I still don't love it as much as Batman (1989), and never will.

We're happy for you.

I liked it a lot as a kid. I watched it again a few days ago, and it really went down in my eyes. That being said, I really liked Val Kilmer and I loved the scenes with Bruce Wayne. I especially loved the overall theme of the film of Bruce giving up his alternate identity and I even love the name "Batman Forever". But once he put on the Bat-Nipples and drove to Neon Gotham, it took a nose dive. To sum it up, the scenes that were primarily dialog and were handled half-seriously were good, but the ones that actually involved any action came off way incredibly cheesy. I actually thought the Batmobile riding up the wall was standard when I was a kid, and even when I'm older I don't mind it as much as the cheesy score they play during the scene that makes it way more lame then it needs to be.

I never realized how 1960s Riddler and Two Face seemed. The scenes where they're playing "battleship" and pretending to be trick-or-treaters just scream that. I also found it ridiculous how they completely missed the mark with the Two Face. With Joker, it kind of made sense to have him be involved with the making of Batman to have the final conflict be more personal. But Harvey and Bruce are friends, he didn't need the circus scene to have the final battle seem bigger. And he also didn't need to have a connection to Robin and not Batman, since he was already being set up too much as Riddler's sidekick. I also never realized how useless and annoying Chris O'Donnell's Robin was. Talk about adding truth to the title "Boy Hostage." I really can't stand how old he looks, he really needed to be at an age where he would actually looked like he needed a parent. And O'Donnell as an actor didn't add much either.

For some reason, I also thought the designs on the Sonar Suit and Batmobile were awesome as a kid too. To me, it just felt normal and Batman-like. I actually didn't even notice the switch in directors either until I was older. And that wasn't until after I watched Batman and Robin and thought to myself "Shouldn't be Batman be kinda darker?" In retrospect, I was a stupid kid. Overall, it was an okay movie but it ages worse and worse and it marks an ugly footnote in the Batman movie history. But its still the best Shumacher film. Overall, a 6/10.

I gave it an 7. It wasn't as great as the previous two, but it was still a fun movie. Jim Carrey was excellent as the Riddler. He made the movie much more enjoyable. Tommy Lee Jones was ok as Two Face, but he felt more like the Joker. I wanted to see the Two Face from the animated series. Val Kilmer was decent as Bruce Wayne/Batman. I didn't really care for Chris O'Donnell as Dick Grayson/Robin. Nicole Kidman was sexy as Chase Meridian. She was definitely better love interest than Vicki Vale, but not as good as Selina Kyle/Catwoman.

The action was pretty tense. The opening scenes with the helicopter was my favorite. I liked the team-up at the end.

Overall, I'd say it was pretty good, but definitely not on par with the previous two, IMO. This is basically where it all went down hill. It's definitely better than that god awful Batman and Robin.

To me personally, batman forever is the greatest batman dc film of all time but that's just me plus TLJ is one of my favorite actors so i suppose that's also part of the equation and i always defend my love for the film no matter how many disagree.

Billy Bob once said "A 10" (I give it a 10)

Haven't seen it since 95, vaguely remember thinking Kilmer was actual a pretty good Batman, yet the villains went way to over-the-top camp for me.
Though it's the deleted scenes which have become what I actually like and stand out as the most striking, and most memorable visuals for me.
( Kilmer) Wayne and the Cave-Vision giant bat, as he comes to terms with his other side. And of course that it's another take to officially recognize seeing Zorro as canon.
Though here it's his father who chose it, so he can now repurpose and use the dark theme and mask as a tool to reinvent himself.

It also ties to Meridian's reading of his dual nature, with parallels to two-face,
They apparently had elements of a much better story to tell, if done right.
Yet surrendered everything to make it an outrageous camp vehicle for Carrey.
