The plastic suits strike again

Only once a century comes a movie that's effect on you is so profound that you know, once you got out of it, that your life will never be the same. Batman And Robin certainly isn't that movie, but still it's effect on our lives was significant: We couldn't stop laughing for a week afterwards.

the big problem with this movie is that it's full of all those big-time actors/actresses and it's very likely that everyone will like one of them, so nobody really wanted to say anything bad about it.... but what can we do? someone has to be the bad guy around here!!

What do you mean, nobody can say anything bad about it?! This movie had the worst critic thrashing since.. well, Showgirls!

what the critics think about it doesn't count. i mean i don't know what it's like in the rest of the world but i do know for sure that the ones in here just don't like the movies! no matter what!! but hey, in the end you will think that i like it (well i did!! what can i do it was so bad!!)

Don't be so hard about picture critics. Those guys see alot of movies, and it's so much fun to butcher a movie mercilessly! For example:

I don't know what Joel Schumacher did during the shooting of this movie. I'm sure he had something very important to do. Maybe his mother was sick and he had to tend her. I don't know. however, what's clear is that he wasn't at the set. I've seen the previous movie on the Batman series, which he also directed: Not exactly a masterpiece, but not nearly that bad. No director, however talented, can be that bad.

and this is only one of the good things in this movie!! another thing not less important is that they gave schwardzzgerberner a role in which he actually had to talk more then 2 words. and emotions! he tried to be sad or happy or whatever, i'm not sure i got it right.

Nobody goes to a movie to hear Shchwardzergerbergerber talk. They just go to be impressed at his muscles. I'd really like to meet the guy who had the brilliant idea to give him a role in which his muscles can never be seen, because of his ugly suit, but with so many lines of text.

but he did have one sad moment in this movie, he cried. and i don't mean it was sad cause he cried but cause of the special effects man that probably lost his job after they saw the scene and now he wont have money to feed his little sick daughter and his 4 newborn kittens.

Oh yes! The special effects were definitely tragic. One can argue that going to a movie like that you don't expect acting (which there wasn't), or a plot more sophisticated than a romance novel (which it wasn't) or more logical than a saturday morning cartoon (which it wasn't). you just go for the special effects. The special effects here looked like something a 50's B-movie would probably be proud of.. but wouldn't cut it into the 60's.

but red, it's just cause it was a real low budget movie.

Low? It had cost 180 million dollars to make.

yeah, low. they gave Schwartzy 25, the ER guy 25, chris, uma, and alicia got something like 50 together. the guy who was supposed to direct it got probably another 10 and with all the other people that got paid and those big sets they had to make..... what can i say, there wasn't any left for the FX so they took stuff from other movies.

If they really payed Schwarzernergerbermer 25 million dollars to play in this movie, I think they could have afforded to pay him another 30 bucks not to play in it. However. Since the actors discovered that the director will not be around, they decided it's every man for himself, and started going wild, each in his own way. Uma Thurman is the only one who looks like she's trying - having a lot of fun playing a cartoon of herself, while that ER guy makes it clear that he only wants to finish the job and go home, which is understandable. Chris Oddonel and Alicia Silverstone seem to like each other, but they too don't look like they're trying too hard either (My love Alicia even make an attempt of giving her character some character by giving her mimics; that is, she bites her lower lip during the movie, twice)

there was only one thing about the crew that wasn't that swell, gina wasn't there!!!

Which is why this movie, every bit as bad as Showgirls was, only got our no. 2 this year. Nice try, boys, but try harder next time.
