Rated PG-13 for language, violence and ice skating
Starring George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris O' Donnell, Uma Thurman, Alicia Silverstone
Directed by Joel Schumacher
The Story:
Batman (Clooney) and Robin (O'Donnell) are facing the maniacal Mr. Freeze (Schwarzenegger) who is trying to get his hands on diamonds, to create a freeze ray that will turn the world to ice! He has a hand in the creation of Poison Ivy (Thurman) who uses her feminine ways to drive a wedge between the dynamic duo! Thankfully, the arrival of Alfred's niece, Barbara (Silverstone) will tip the scales to the side of justice when she becomes...Batgirl!
Oh my...
This was even worse than I remembered.
When the Dynamic Duo become ice skaters in the opening battle of the film, I literally rolled my eyes and checked out of the film.
Which is a shame, because George Clooney gets the lion's share of unfair blame on the failure of this movie.
It wasn't his fault.
In fact, I have gone on record, many times, that Clooney actually made the best Batman of the 3 that wore the cape and cowl up to that point.
No, it was the terrible script and Schumacher instilling too much camp in a series that had been only wink and nod in that area up to that point.
Final Grade: D+ realm
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Nope, I'm good.
