OMG!!!! Jim Carrey actually gave a truly good performance?!?!?! I was shocked that he actually did a good job, this has to be my favorite Batman movie ever, the acting is great as is the plot, this is a truly enjoyable movie for fans of Batman.

Also, another positive I've got with this movie would have to be some of the camera work which is used for Batman (Val Kilmer) from it being in a fight scene or so on. Finally, the problems I'd say I've got with this movie would have to be the out dated CGI effects in certain scenes throughout this movie and especially the use with green screen in this movie.… Expand

Val is a good Batman, Tommy Lee Jones rocks as a bad guy & Nicole Kidman is stunning! I think the weak link is actually Jim Carrey, who I found far more annoying than I remember him being when I saw this as a kid. He's not Jared Leto in Suicide Squad level of bad, he has some very funny bits, but he doesn't suit this at all.
For a decent halfway between serious and stupid I think this has it.… Expand

Val Kilmer is nowhere near as good as Michael Keaton but he was decent enough. I did laugh a few times and though I prefer Burton's style, it was still pretty good. Fun for fans of Jim Carrey and the 1960's Batman. That's not to say it's all lighthearted though... There are definitely dark elements in it.… Expand

Batman Forever is an amazing action packed film with more gadgets than some James Bond films.
The film has a great way of introducing the main characters. For example in the opening scene the film introduces Two Face, (Tommy Lee Jones) byBatman Forever is an amazing action packed film with more gadgets than some James Bond films.
The film has a great way of introducing the main characters. For example in the opening scene the film introduces Two Face, (Tommy Lee Jones) by showing how evil he is when he kills one of his own henchmen and tries to kill a cop. This opening scene also introduces Batman (Val Kimmer) as heroic because he saves the cop's life. Although I felt that the cop in this scene wasn't a very good actor. But the scene ends on a high note when Two Face escapes alive and this makes you wonder how Batman will stop him.
The film has quite a simple plot where Batman tries to stop the evil Two Face and his insane side kick, the Riddler. This simple plot stops the viewer from feeling lost and confused like they may do in a film with a complicated plot.Another example of the great way the film introduces characters is the scene where the Riddler (Jim Carrey) is introduced. The Riddler is introduced in a good way because when he writes his 1st riddle it fills the viewers mind with mystery and a sense of trying to figure it out before the end of the film. When Jim Carrey plays the Riddler the role is unique and makes you realize just how good an actor Jim Carrey really is because as well as playing a great comedian he can also play other roles. In this role
The special effects are also very good in a car chase scene where Two-Face's henchmen chase Batman in his bat mobile. In this scene the special effects make the driving stunts in the car chase seem very realistic.
But the action in this film can sometimes seem too violent which might shock the viewer because the film is only rated PG.
On the other hand the film does keep the viewer interested until the last scenes where Batman has to make a life changing decision and when the Riddler threatens to tell the whole world who Batman is.
I would recommend this film to young adults and anyone who likes a good superhero film. I would rate the film 9/10.… Expand

I am still divided if this is a good movie or more in the so bad that it is good category. It might be both at the same time but I will not deny that it is entertaining and has some great moments but also some weaknesses. After Batman ReturnsI am still divided if this is a good movie or more in the so bad that it is good category. It might be both at the same time but I will not deny that it is entertaining and has some great moments but also some weaknesses. After Batman Returns missed Warner Bros. box office expectations and complains that it was too dark some changes were made for the next movie. I will say they made this one more colorful, used more humor and toned down the more matured parts. Actually I view this as a restart even if it is not a reboot. This time Batman has to deal with Two Face who was the former district attorney Harvey Dent. An acid attack left half of his face disfigured and drove him towards crime and insanity. He blames Batman for this as he could not stop this attack. Meanwhile scientist Edward Nygma who is a researcher at Wayne Enterprises has developed a new device that can beam television signals directly into a persons brain (Sidenote: This is actually more scary than most horror movies ever could be. Think of non stop commercials and this is the stuff of nightmares). However he is rejected by Bruce. Meanwhile a circus is in town and the acrobat Dick Grayson will experience something he never would have imagined. With this the story starts and I will stop here to avoid spoilers. The story works and is a vehicle for the action and characters. However it is neither that great nor reinventing the wheel. Batman the animated series did set up and use these characters far better and I think some of those episodes could be used for a better movie. To be fair it is also not bad and they know what they are doing. The characters are similar to the story. They work and are enjoyable but also they are not that great with some exceptions. Lets start with Batman aka Bruce Wayne played by Val Kilmer. Michael Keaton did not want to return so another actor has to fill the shoes. I think Val Kilmer would work great but is hold back by the script. Tommy Lee Jones does a fantastic job as Two Face and this deserves credit as with his costumes it is hard to take him serious (This could just be me to be fair). They miss a critical aspect of his character here. Two Face is Bruce Waynes greatest tragedy in a certain way. He could neither safe him as Batman nor as his good friend Bruce Wayne. However he still works. Jim Carrey as Edward Nygma is amazing. The role was made for him and his style. If you like his usual performance than everything is fine. If not than this is a disaster for you. I liked his performance and clearly see how much he enjoyed the role. Chris O’Donnel as Dick Grayson delivers mostly a good performance but there are some scenes that are awful for his character. Then we have Nicole Kidman as Dr. Chase Meridan. Maybe too much damsel in distress but is really good otherwise. The rest of the cast gives a solid performance. I am divided here as we have good actors without a doubt. But I have seen those characters done better and the script harmed them too sometimes. Visually or presentation wise the movie has its own style. It looks familiar but more colorful. Some of the costume choices are bad and fail for me. The soundtrack by Eliot Goldenthal was really good. It had some songs that are still played today in the radio like “Kiss from a rose” by seal and to a lesser content U2s “Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me”. Other than those I liked “Smash it up” by The Offspring and Methods Man “The Riddler”. A good soundtrack and worth owning. Overall I like this movie but it will not end in my top movie lists. It is enjoyable but not awesome and I think a 7/10 is fair.… Expand

Even with a simple plot, the film is a classic due to Jim Carrey and his performance. The Tommy Lee Jones version of Two-Face looks like a "half-brother" of the Joker if he got drunk on Madison Square Garden.

Not as dark and not as good as the prior two Tim Burton films but still entertaining to watch. Jim Carey absolutely steals the show as The Riddler.

Jim Carey absolutely steals the show as The Riddler. Joel Schumacher was asked to replace Tim Burton to make more kids-friendly versions of Batman movies by Warner Bros under pressure from parental groups. (WTF? I don't remember the Tim Burton films being that bad.). Unlike "Batman & Robin" which imo is the worst Batman movie of all time (including the Adam West movie being better) Batman Forever was not bad. I think Jim Carry saved this movie from being a flop...… Expand

ValThe best sequel to 1989's original by miles....

Val Kilmer does the Batman duties in this film lol and we are introduced to villains two-face (Tommy Lee Jones) and the Riddler (Jim Carrey). The action scenes are well done and this film for some parts feels like a romance because of all the interaction between Nicole Kidman and Val Kilmer. This film is enjoyable and directed beautifully and the villains are good besides Jim Carrey being a bit over the top at times. There's explosions and lots of action and Drew Barrymore was a delight to see and her and Nicole Kidman made this film feel more beautiful than it actually was. Great acting, impressive vehichle designs and stuff and decent acting. This film is almost perfect.… Expand

I liked it. I understand a couple of those negative reviews though. I 'm a big Jim Carry fan so that's probably why I took to it right away. It was a little cheesy and after seeing Batman and Robin (which made me barf) it seems a lot better.
