Yeah, I bought the special edition DVDs of BF / B&R recently - primarily because they were dirt cheap, but I always said to myself that if I see those editions around for cheap, I'll get'em. All the extras alone are worth getting them.Batman Forever - 7.5/10
It has been ages since the last time I saw this and I must say I liked it more than I remembered. I think it was a great follow up to Burton's movies. Val Kilmer made for a great Batman. I might actually say my favourite after Bale. Jim Carrey did a great job as well, and Tommy Lee Jones was good while a bit campy with his Two-Face. Even Nicole Kidman didn't bother me as much as she does in many of her later movies. Might have something to do with her face not being botoxed-up to look like a balloon animal.
Overall a great nostalgic watch for me.
BF isn't a bad film, but it's still not as good as the Burton films by a long shot. Kilmer was good - I agree, & so was Carrey. That said, Burton's intention was never to include Robin, but once the corporate entity puts their nose into things, the art gets unraveled & forgettable pop schlock takes it's place. I'm not opposed to the idea of Robin, it's just how Schumacher pieced the films together, & obviously all the other hideous stuff he forced into them.
