Batman Forever is probably the only movie I saw back to back at the theater. I enjoyed it a lot until I realized just how bad a lot of Batman's dialogue is. "I wouldn't fit in at a family pic-nic" or "I'll get drive-thru."
I must have had my brain shut off when I saw it back to back. The movie is fun if you don't think about how bad it is compared to the 1989 film before it.
Jim Carrey's over-acting along with Tommy Lee Jones' is a shame. Since they both would have been great in their roles if the film wasn’t so campy. If Carrey was told to tone it down and shut the F up and be more serious as the Riddler by a better director. He could have been great.
Kilmer isn’t a bad Bruce Wayne and is a better Bruce Wayne than he is Batman. Maybe because he has better lines as just Bruce.
I think the movie is well cast but the approach they took was definitely in the wrong direction. Batman & Robin is proof because that took a wrong direction and took the franchise straight off a cliff.

@jim222001 oh my, i haven't seen Batman and Robin yet. Is it just as cheesy or way more ridicilous and plain wrong? This movie could have been so good! I wish WB. released the "Schumacher Cut" cuz of how dark it reportedly is. Anyways, thanks and have a nice day!

@musadiq456 Cheesy and way more ridiculous.
