I watched it yesterday for the first time since I was a kid back when it was released.
Clearly it's not going to be remembered as a great Batman/Comic book film but it is a lot of fun and I think it takes a bit of unnecessary flack.
The plot to the film is simple: Two Face & Riddler vs Batman & Robin. Val Kilmer was good as Batman. Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey gave good over the top, cartoon like performances as the villains, which in my opinion suited the film as it's clear it wasn't taking itself too seriously. Robin was a bit of a weak link to start with but towards the end he became much more involved. I also really enjoyed Nicole Kidman's character.
The costumes/make up and vehicles were excellent and the action scenes were done pretty well too. Yes it's a pretty silly film but if you don't take it too seriously there's a bit of fun to be had.
6/10.
