Agreed. I’ve always loved B&R, it’s a very entertaining movie to say the least. It really is so bad that it’s good.
 
B&R is horrendous but admittedly very easy to watch because it?s so terrible it?s good. I?ve seen it many times. In saying that, Clooney was a wooden plank in that film.
 
Yeah me too, always thought that the 1/18 hot wheels were under scaled. It’s more a 1/21 rather than 1/18. My 1/18 sunstar Delorean is huge compared.
 
OK I finally re-watched BF after a very long time and yes I was wrong it is better than Superman 3. I also agree that Jim Carrey put in quite a spectacular performance honestly he blew away TLJ. The movie certainly has a quick pace what I thought felt boring before didn?t bore me this time out.

Now do I all of a sudden think it is better than 89, BB of TDK of course not the movie villain plot is just utterly over the top ridiculous and i?m not entirely sold on Kilmer Batman/Wayne portrayal however I now view it in a more relaxed respectful and fun manner.

I noticed Jon Favreau name in the end credits as assistant WTF!

Anyways thank you DiFabio!

Onto B&R next :slap
 
TLJ was/is a tough person to work with at the best of times.

I don't think Schumacher gets enough credit for dealing with not only the stresses of getting such a big blockbuster style film like BF made but also getting through such a shoot with both TLJ and Kilmer in it :gah:

Schumacher definitely is a saint considering the horror stories of working with Kilmer based on reports. Apparently he was warned not to work with Kilmer but took his chances.

It's nearly impossible for anyone to overshadow an unleashed Carrey. :lol

Jim Carrey said TLJ hated him on BF even calling him a buffoon. Maybe TLJ knew he was just outclassed on set and became a pissy little b**** lol

TLJ is easily the better actor, but he made the mistake to try to out crazy a real life Looney Tunes cartoon. The director said that TLJ was used to being a scene stealer, and dictating the flow of every scene he's in, but he just couldn't steal it....he was beaten at his own game. Damn. Still, I think he had great on screen chemistry with Carrey and at no point watching the film could I tell he disliked Carrey. He was a jerk to Carrey on the set and through out the filming according to the director.

Poor Kilmer, he's the most bland Batman and Bruce Wayne ever, even though he was perfectly acceptable as Batman and Bruce Wayne. While Keaton was certainly overshadowed by Nicholson's Joker, Keaton at least had some breathing room away from Joker to stand out a bit, but Kilmer had to deal with TLJ doing Joker and Carrey doing Joker on Crack. :lol He never had a chance.
 
I always see TLJ as just doing a poor man's Nicholson.

I think he and the character would of been better served if instead of trying to match Carrey he instead went the other direction - played it more chilled and serious with more of a hint of menace and only unleashing some crazy at certain times.

Let The Riddler be the clown while letting Two Face be the villain you can never really trust as to what he would do next.

Great minds think alike

I didn't like Tommy Lee Jones in this, and he's actually a good actor. Jim Carrey -- sometimes he's amazing on-screen, sometimes he's just irritating. He had a couple of moments as the Riddler here, but for the most part, he was like a desperate drama major. Of course the movie was pure camp so I guess it fits.
 
That one scene where Riddler trembles his lips and rubs his eye imitating crying with that funny sound is beyond genius my favorite scene of his.

This one:

I also liked how he spun his cane around
