When you consider a movie, one thing that should be factored in is: What were the movie makers trying to produce? It’s pointless to criticize Terminator, for instance, because it’s not Citizen Kane. James Cameron wasn’t trying to be Orson Welles (although Ed Wood was trying, but let’s not get into that.)
So upon viewing Batman Forever, you must consider: What were they trying to put up on the screen? A film of daring, singular viewpoint? A dark, foreboding, ground-breaking endeavor that would redefine and reshape the way comic books are portrayed?
No. Hëll, no.
