When I saw that movie I was disappointed. Everyone in my life would always tell me how terrible it was and I shouldn't watch it, then when I actually did watch it it turns out the movie is actually just a gigantic love letter to Adam West's batman and is one of my favorite batman movies and I'm upset I listened to The Average Idiotic Movie Viewer and didn't watch it sooner.

The problem is that it's supposed to be a sequel to the Tim Burton movies and it just doesn't work on that front.

Neither does Batman Forever but that one is treated a lot better.

Because Batman Forever is a sequel to a Tim Burton movie.

Batman & Robin is a sequel to a sequel of a Tim Burton movie.

The level of camp/silliness increased for each film.

As a standalone film, it was fine. In the era it came out in, it didn't work.

Tommy Lee Jones acting like a sugar addicted child was more emotionally scarring than any other movie I have ever seen. And I am including liveleak videos in this.
