Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania
And how did he infiltrate Wayne Manor's impenetrable security system - Alfred Pennyworth - to become the next Batman? I suppose Alfred - in seeing no less than three Batmen pass through his hallowed halls (Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney), simply puts it down to ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania
Palo Alto Weekly (Leonard Schwarz)
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Philip Martin)
Burton's Batman was capable of snapping criminal spine -- Schumacher's is a sissy lib who believes in redemption, if not the possibility of rehabilitation. ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Philip Martin)
Mr. Brown's Movies (Michael Dequina)
Schumacher has said that he wanted to 'put some "comic" back in comic book,' but he forgets what comic book he's dealing with--Batman, which is a 'comic' book in name only. ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at Mr. Brown's Movies (Michael Dequina)
Groucho Reviews (Peter Canavese)
Alfred posits, "For what is Batman if not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps our world? An attempt to control death itself." Okay, fine, but we get this and dick jokes? ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at Groucho Reviews (Peter Canavese)
Montreal Film Journal (Kevin N. Laforest)
This third sequel to the 1989 smash hit is about Batman learning to trust his new partners, while fighting three new villains. The script is as lame as it gets: the dialogue is dumb, the Bruce Wayne scenes are cheesy and there isn't anything original. ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at Montreal Film Journal (Kevin N.

It is unfortunate that this film, even with it's surprisingly strong box office has succeeded in doing what Warner's thought Tim Burton would do with the franchise. Kill it. Joel Schumacher's "BATMAN & ROBIN" is loud, colorful, action packed, and ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at IMDB.com

The makers of the “Spider-Man” movies have so far been very smart, but while their role model is clearly the first “Batman,” it would do them good to watch “Batman & Robin” again too, as ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at Bullz-Eye.com
filmcritic.com (Jeremiah Kipp)
This fourth episode in the Batman series isn’t a movie so much as a theme park. It wasn’t scripted so much as run through the Hollywood script mill, where every line of dialogue is reduced to a catchphrase. “Allow me to break the ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at filmcritic.com (Jeremiah Kipp)

I have NEVER walked out on a movie, even this one, but Batman and Robin made me want to soooo bad. With stunning dialogue like, "Hi Freeze, I'm Batman." and "Everybody chill!" how could you NOT think of asking for your money back? The opening fight scene ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at eFilmCritic

In 1990s audience could witness the steady decrease of quality in Hollywood movies. This was due to studio executives seeing that in this modern world hype and successful marketing was more important than quality of products. Joel Schumacher, director ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at IMDB.com
The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
ERIC: My problem with it is that it is SO over-the-top, and SO silly, that it's not even fun to watch. The previous movies managed to have a decent balance of goofiness and reality, with some legitimate humor -- "The iceman cometh" ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at The Land of Eric (Eric D.

I've just spewed in my mouth. I knew that would happen as soon as I typed the title. How anyone can even mention this nauseating abomination is beyond me. Rushed into production – due to the success of Batman Forever (1995) – Batman & Robin was ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

The third Batman movie, BATMAN FOREVER, which felt like it went on forever, had the misfortune to have been directed by Joel Schumacher. Schumacher appears to turn control of his action pictures over to the special effects department, and he takes an ...read the complete Batman & Robin movie review at IMDB.com
