Reviews

Batman Forever received mixed reviews from critics upon its release in 1995. While some praised the film's visual style and action sequences, others criticized its departure from the darker tone of previous Batman movies. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 41% rating, with the critics' consensus noting that the film 'suffers from a poorly written script and a plethora of unsubstantiated characters'. Metacritic rated it 51 out of 100, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'. IMDb users rated it 5.4 out of 10, with some praising Val Kilmer's performance as Batman but lamenting the lack of depth in the villains. Despite the criticism, Batman Forever remains a notable entry in the Batman franchise, blending campy humor with dark themes and delivering a unique take on the Caped Crusader.
