In conclusion, not the worst movie, I have ever seen, but it is one of those films, where everything needed to make it memorable falls flat. This is further disadvantaged by a truly pathetic script that nobody in the cast could do anything with.(these actors deserved so much better)The special effects were okay, but very confused in terms of execution. The direction from Joel Schummacher was disappointing as well, it lacked the artistic flair and the temperament that is needed to make a great film. Schwarznegger is a talented actor, but his skills are hidden beyond recognition in this movie, he just looked so uncomfortable and totally out of character. He was completely miscast as Mr Freeze, completely lacking the coldness and evilness that makes the character so memorable. The worst case was poor Arnold Schwarznegger.
Uma Thurman does her best, but what they gave her to work with was ridiculous, and she just failed to deliver, while Alicia Silverstone was extremely annoying. What would Michael Keaten and Val Kilmer and even Christian Bale say when they see that Batman has turned charming? Chris O' Donnell looked uncomfortable, and in almost every movie where he is a hero, this includes the 1993 version of the Three Musketeers, he is rather lifeless. Batman I don't think is supposed to be charming, he's supposed to be dark and brooding, and Clooney lacked that. George Clooney is quite a charming actor, but he is not my idea of Batman. One major problem is some of the choices of actors.They were all wasted. Kilmer recently appeared as the silent Batman parody Bluntman in Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.The film does have nice costumes, and nice sets. All of his line in The Snowman had to be dubbed. Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015 and underwent surgery that left him barely able to speak above a whisper. Plans for a third movie with Schumacher were scrapped and a new Batman film remained in development hell until Christopher Nolan revived the franchise with Batman Begins in 2005.
It is still considered to be one of the worst superhero movies ever made. The entire (and lengthy) interview is worth reading, but for the purpose of this, we’re going to focus on Schumacher’s discussion about working with Tommy Lee Jones and Val Kilmer on the set of Batman Forever, which many think is easily the better of the two Schumacher ‘Batman’ films and perhaps better than many gave it credit for two decades. Released in 1997, Batman & Robin only grossed $238.2 million and received a major backlash from fans and critics. He told Brodesser-Akner, "That's why it's so easy to have five or six Batmans. Kilmer stayed in costume for the kids, but he said they had no interest in him, only the batmobile and gadgets. Kilmer expressed dissatisfaction while recalling an encounter on set when Warren Buffett and his kids came to visit the set.
