Movies on Cable: Batman & Robin

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketStudios:Warner Bros. Pictures
Release:1997
Genre:Action/Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Crime/Gangster and Sequel
MPAA Rating:PG-13


When it comes to movies, few ever get past the 3rd installment, and of those who do, not all become "hits". It happened with Superman, and unfortunately, the same goes with Batman. Batman and Robin is the fourth movie of the series that started in 1989, and compared to the successful first movie, this one has a different director and a different actor playing the lead role. The tone is not as dark as the first one, and is actually threatening to go on the "campy" side. With the appearance of Batgirl, it's also accumulated too many protagonists... too many characters sharing the same amount of movie time - ergo less time to develop each one.

Good points: Like the previous three movies, every scene here is a pretty picture. It still is a visual treat and it is still entertaining. It just pales so much compared to the other three.
