A death in the franchise


Batman & Robin (1997)

Directed by Joel Schumacher this sequel stars George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman and Alicia Silverstone. The dynamic duo face off against Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy in the battle for Gotham's safety.

This film has a pretty terrible reputation and while it is not a good film by any means I do not think it is as bad as it is made out to be. The last vestiges of any real character depth or darkness have been stripped away from the franchise by this point and what we have is essentially a silly kids film. If you can accept the film for what it is then it is not too bad of a watch but some of the CGI certainly looks suspect and the dialogue will hurt your brain at times.

2/5
