Personally, I just enjoyed the first Batman the best, I think a lot of us did. But that doesn't mean this was a bad installment to the "Batman" series, it's actually very decent worth more than one look. We do have a new but every exceptional Batman, Val Kilmer, who has a tough role to fit into after the great performances Michael Keaton brought. Nicole Kidman plays Chase, a beautiful and intelligent scientist who has the hots for Batman more than Bruce, she does a great job and looks so sexy! Jim Carrey, the master of comedy, takes the role of The Riddler, only he can bring the true comic relief and was a great choice. Tommy Lee Jones, as Two Face, was also great and so believable as a scary villain. Last but not least, Chris O'donnel as the wimsical, but more serious than anything version of Robin. The dynamic duo are finally put together for this masterpiece of a sequel!
Batman is now fighting Two Face, or Harvey Dent, who was brutally scarred on one side of his face in a court case of his when he was a lawyer. When he fails one night to successfully capture Two Face, he meets Dr. Chase Meridian, a beautiful scientist and journalist. She is just fascinated with him and it's almost love at first sight for her. Batman of course is falling for her, but is playing hard to get. When Bruce Wayne makes a move on her though, she accepts and they attend a charity circus together, they see the Flying Gracins, a family of flying acrobats, but when the party is interrupted by Two Face and he demands to find out the true identity of Batman otherwise he'll set off a bomb in the circus! When the Gracins try to stop it and Dick Gracin, the youngest flying member goes his separate way to stop it himself, the family is on top of some very high up beams and wire which Two Face stops them by shooting the wires causing the Gracins to fall down to their deaths in front of everyone. When Dick stops the bomb, he is too late to see his family lying dead on the floor.
He comes to live with Bruce and wants revenge on Two Face and promises death and justice! It's not too soon that he discovers that Bruce is Batman and wants to be him at first, but then decides that he shouldn't take over but they should become partners! Batman refuses knowing that it's too dangerous; he continues his affair with Chase. But there is a new problem, an angry employee, Edward Nygmam, at Bruce's business now wants to destroy Batman and become evil! Who better to join up with than Two Face? He also has a machine that can read a person's mind and makes it tell the person's deepest darkest secrets. When Bruce comes to a party after Edward is successful in selling these machines, he tempts Bruce into the biggest machine of all and finds out what Bruce has been hiding for so long. When Batman and Chase are together, she confesses to Batman that she is now falling for Bruce. When she and Bruce have a get together, he wishes to tell her the truth, you know a little bit before this scene he said to Alfred "I've never been in love before", what happened to Vicki Vale and Catwoman? I always wondered that! But anyways, Two Face's gang kidnaps Chase and now Bruce must save her, but his bat cave has been destroyed by The Riddler! With the riddles that Edward sent to Bruce as clues, he and Alfred put everything together and know that it's not going to be easy to defeat this powerful team, that's where Dick comes in, or now known as Robin! Can the dynamic duo save Chase in time and save the world from getting their brains sucked into The Riddler's and can Robin get the revenge he's wanted for so long with Two Face?
Batman Forever is a fantastic installation into the Batman series. I would highly recommend it! It's got action, romance, drama, comedy, and great sets! Among a fantastic soundtrack featuring U2 and Seal's famous "Kiss from a Rose". It's a good movie and should be seen by every Batman fan!
8/10

This movie was on TV last night, so I watched it again... it's been AGES since I watched it, so I said What the heck.
Don't ask me why, but I enjoyed the atmosphere the movie had... I kinda liked that colorful Gotham :P
The acting... well, we all know Val Kilmer will never be remembered for his acting on this movie, but at least he wasn't worse than George Clooney. Jim Carrey was the best IMO, the character suited him perfectly! I'm not so sure about Tommy Lee Jones's role... he reminded me of the Joker all the time, besides, his death is the most ridiculous part of the movie "Hey Harvey! Catch!" :P
Chris O'Donnell's role as Robin was just "Ok", nothing spectacular or remarkable about it IMO...
Also, I [i]completely forgot[/i] how fucking hot was Nicole Kidman back then...

[highlight]HOT DAMN![/highlight] :fappery:
All in all, the movie wasn't so terrible, [i]if you don't take it seriously.[/i]
Discuss!!
better than dark knight
yeah i enjoyed it even though it was so fucking silly. But the one after it, batman and robin, is just terrible.
The only terrible Batman movie in my opinion was the one with George Clooney... :crying:

i thought it was pretty awsome. jim carry is just one funny basterd.
I like batman.
I've watched this movie countless times when I was younger, now I don't remember jack shit :C
I like Batman Forever but not really as a Batman movie, I like it for its surrealism and over-the-topness (and Tommy Lee Jones motherfuckers)
tommy is always good.
I remember watching this
Tommy Lee Jones is fucking badass.
He better be in Men In Black III.
