Title: Talk about a complete 180...
Review: Standing directly opposite from Tim Burton's magnificent Batman & Batman Returns is this sorry piece of trash. While Batman Forever - as bad as it was - at least made *some* attempt to balance the cheesiness with some kind of serious drama, this movie jettisons all pretense of intelligence and depth. Blaming the actors for their performances is pointless and unfair, as they had a) a remarkably stupid story to work from (even making allowances for typical action movie plots), b) inane dialoge to utter and c) horrible direction by Schumacher. This movie truly is style over substance, and it's not even good style at that. The sets are ugly, the effects unimpressive and obnoxious, and the whole look of the film is enough to give one a headache. It doesn't get much worse than this.
