Batman & Robin, like the first three films in the series, is wonderful to look at, and has nothing authentic at its core. Full Review
Both plot and audience attention span stretch to breaking point. Full Review
Lacking most kinds of inspiration and geared to undemanding minds, this project is so overloaded with hardware and stunts, it's a relief to have it over. Full Review
Joel Schumacher, director and ringmaster, piles on the flashy showmanship and keeps the film as big, bold, noisy and mindlessly overwhelming as possible. Full Review
Predictably dismal pop-operatic guff. Full Review
Unfortunately, the operative word is bland, as the newcomers don't add much to the formula, leaving it to their nemeses to enliven the proceedings. Narrative drive and humor are also in short supply, which creates a serious sagsag in the middle when the novelty of the fresh components has mostly worn off. Full Review
