The New York Times
Joel Schumacher, director and ringmaster, piles on the flashy showmanship and keeps the film as big, bold, noisy and mindlessly overwhelming as possible.

Variety
Unfortunately, the operative word is bland, as the newcomers don't add much to the formula, leaving it to their nemeses to enliven the proceedings. Narrative drive and humor are also in short supply, which creates a serious sagsag in the middle when the novelty of the fresh components has mostly worn off.

I never understood the hate for this movie. Is it cheesy and campy? 100% but thats what make it amazing. There are so many different takes on batman. Sometimes he campy, sometimes dark and gritty, sometimes really dark and gritty. and ALL of it counts. all of it is batman. This one just happens to be on the campier side. and that great. I love the ice puns and the bat credit card and how ridiculous this movie is. This is NOT the worst Batman film. ...I don't think there is a worst. Batman is the best character I've ever seen on screen and I will always love to see him on screen no matter what.

1997 George Clooney might not be as famous like in 2016 Money Monster Movie but this franchise as a whole ain't add nothin new besides the latest comic book series.

Chicago Sun-Times
Batman & Robin, like the first three films in the series, is wonderful to look at, and has nothing authentic at its core.

Newsweek
Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has written quips, not characters and Joel Schumacher still seems miscast as a Bat-action director: he stages the mayhem confusingly and the comedy too broadly.

Washington Post
The current Bat cycle was already tired when Schumacher replaced Tim Burton behind the camera on "Batman Forever." This chapter -- so action-packed, yet so insufferably dull -- makes it clear that there's nowhere else to go.

Austin Chronicle
Batman & Robin fails to engage the spirit of Batman, Robin, or decent marketing in general, and instead ends up as a limp, excruciatingly shallow knockoff that leaves viewers cringing at the unavoidable one-liners that make up the better part of the script.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Campy costumes can't disguise the incoherent plot, confused performances and lame script that send this star vehicle spiralling downward.

Greatest movie of all time!!! An extraordinary, life-changing, enlightening, beautiful piece of art. It´s an emotional rollercoaster of a film. Impossible to top. Everything about this movie is magnificent. The cast, the script, the special effects, the pacing, the tone, and the plot are GOD tier quality. It just makes sense.

So corny, so goofy, so over the top. If this was a spoof/parody Batman movie then 11/10, but no this is flagship Batman, wtf!? So bad it's good? Had a good laugh at this one for sure.

Ben filmi genel olarak eğlenerek ve keyifle izledim. Bu filmin bu kadar düşük puanlı olmasının sebebini Kadronun muazzam oyuncularla dolu olup, beklentinin çok fazla yükselmesidir. Beklentiniz olmadan izlerseniz keyif alırsınız zaten ama Michael Keaton'lu Batman filmi tadını da vermiyor.

This movie has an amazing cast such as Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze but ultimately aside from the cast the movie does not have many pros. With decent portrayals of Bane and Posion Ivy's abilities along with Mr.Freeze many fans thought this would be a very good movie with Batman fighting three villains alongside Robin. However the fights feel stagnant and lackluster. Ultimately leading to the eventual success of the Batman and Robin feeling boring.

I have to give this movie a 3. I want to give it a 4 but I need to let people know this is a negative review, not a mixed review. This movie is bad in all areas Arnold Schwarzenegger as mr freeze feels completely wrong and Uma Thurman does an okay job as Poison Ivy but only has like one attack (that makes people fall in love with her) that most of the movie that makes the characters annoying. Robin is a brat the whole movie trying to go solo without Batman and telling Batman that he is jealous of him. Batgirl is completely shoehorned in and I didn't care about her character at all. Val Kilmer and Nicole kidman aren't in this movie which is pretty bad since this is a sequel. So now we have to pretend that George Clooney was in the first one. This movie also has a love interest played by Elle Macpherson that is barely explored and is as stale as old moldy white bread. The only positive thing I can think about this movie is that the origin story of Poison Ivy and Bain were good and that George Clooney (besides questionable decisions on the batsuit) was the best looking on screen batman up until that point. It's just a shame you have Batman doing silly things like playing hockey in a museum for you to even be able to enjoy George Clooney as Batman. If the Script was any good this probably could have been an okay movie but it's too corny, boring and insulting.
