Title: Holy Smokes, Batman! This film is a BUST!
Review: Joel Schumacher, a painfully average director with a dubious track record (St. Elmo's Fire, Flatliners, A Time to Kill, and Flawless), siphons the dark edge Tim Burton brought to the first two Batman films. While the first two movies recall the darkness of the original comic book, Shumacher's Batman films recall the campiness of the 1966 TV series, and that's not a good thing. In addition to the wooden performances, "Batman and Robin" is jam-packed with an overly busy plot. There was so much going on in this movie I went dizzy. It takes no psychic to figure where this review is heading: "Batman and Robin" is a bloated mess that should be avoided.
