Brief synopsis of Batman And Robin

The Caped Crusader returns to battle the abominable Mr. Freeze and green-thumbed Poison Ivy. To save his ailing wife, Dr. Victor Fries turns to a life of crime after a hideous accident makes him unable to tolerate even moderate temperatures, while Dr. Pamela Isley falls victim to mutated plant DNA when things go awry in a jungle laboratory funded by Wayne Industries. Of course, though their interests are diametrically opposed (Freeze wants another Ice Age; Ivy wants to make the world safe for plants), the two villains team up to defeat Gotham's dynamic duo of Batman and Robin, who are joined by butler Alfred's motorcycle-obsessed niece as Batgirl. And when Alfred is diagnosed as having the same terminal disease as Freeze's wife, the trio find themselves not only fighting an altruistic battle, but a personal one as well. A frenetic, colorful, and often overwhelming sequel to "Batman," "Batman Returns," and "Batman Forever."

Rating of 1 stars out of 5 Radio Times

If the original Spencer Gordon Bennet serial was a disappointment, its sequel was nigh on a disaster. With Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft consigned to well-merited obscurity, Robert Lowery and John Duncan assumed the mantles of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, while Lyle Talbot stepped in as Commissioner Gordon. However, there's little suspense in their pursuit of the Wizard, a master criminal out to secure the diamonds needed to operate the ray gun he's stolen from eccentric professor, William Fawcett. Made in a hurry and on the cheap, this is the undoubtedly the nadir of the Caped Crusader's screen career.

New York Times

"...As played by Uma Thurman, Poison Ivy is perfect, flaunting great looks, a mocking attitude and madly flamboyant disguises..."

Time Out

The fourth Bat-flick finds this juvenile franchise running on empty. Oozing insincerity and perplexed paternalism,... Read more on www.timeout.com

Rated - 5 starsDelicious!

IJH from Newcastle upon Tyne , 16/03/2006

The sheer awfulness of this movie is legendary, so instead here's a recipe:

Strawberry Marbled Cheescake

Crust:

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons sugar

Cheesecake:

24 ounces cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 eggs

10 ounces frozen strawberries (thawed), in syrup

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Puree strawberries and cornstarch in blender. Heat in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, then cool. Combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and sugar; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan.

Bake at 350 F. for 10 minutes. Combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, mixing at medium speed on electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour half of the batter over the crust then add half of the strawberry mixture by spoonfuls to the batter. Pour remaining batter into the pan then add the remaining strawberry mixture by spoonfuls. Swirl the mixture with a knife until it resembles a marbled effect. Bake at 300 F. for 50-60 minutes or until set. Allow cheesecake to cool then remove from rim of pan. Chill overnight before serving.

Enjoy!

Rated - 1 starsdon't be afraid to use your nails boys!

Batman and robin is one of the worst films ever made. Period. It is so bad that you find yourself watching it in horror for 2 hours. Its like watching a car accident unfold, you cant tear your eyes away. Joel Schumacher destroyed the batman movies which had started so brilliantly and so darkly with Tim Burton's original Batman. Its not unlike the 60's tv series for shear campness though i think that show realised that it was a load of crap.

Many questions arise when watching batman and robin. How did george clooney revive his career after starring in this? Why the hell did anyone ever think that chris o'donnal and alicia silverstone were decent actors? (whats up with her accent?!?) And where did i leave my shotgun? If you ever plan to do anything bad watch this movie beforehand, because they'll be playing it on a continuous loop in hell...

Rated - 2 starsBad Batman Sequal

A customer from England , 27/08/2004

Very bad sequal to the batman fanchise..the worsed one. The story is silly there are too many characters in the film and bad acting all round. Suprised to see uma thurma in this film acting so silly after her brillant performance in kill bill. Only arnolds presence brings a interest in this film. Also the dvd film quality is dreadful very bad pixalisation and poor video transfer one of the worsed i have seen for such a big budget film.

BiggTrace from Tarporley , 15/08/2008

If you want to rent this film, spend 2hours of you're time stabbing yourself repeatedly in the chest whilst covering yourself in gravy and crying.

Both hurt, are humiliating and saddening but at least if you take my advice then you don't have to witness the 'nipple-suits'.
