Batman & Robin

Description

Batman & Robin is a 1997 American superhero film based on the DC Comics characters Batman and Robin, and the fourth and final installment in the original Batman film series. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and written by Akiva Goldsman, with George Clooney playing Batman, Chris O'Donnell as Robin, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the main villain, Mr. Freeze. Uma Thurman portrays the character Poison Ivy, while Alicia Silverstone plays Batgirl.

The plot centers around Batman and Robin as they team up with Batgirl to stop Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy from wreaking havoc on Gotham City. Meanwhile, they also deal with the emotional struggles of their relationships with each other and their personal lives. The film was heavily criticized for its over-the-top campiness, which was a departure from the darker tone of the previous two films, as well as the poor script, acting, and direction.

Batman & Robin was a commercial disappointment and was widely panned by critics. The film's negative reception led to the cancellation of a proposed sequel and ultimately resulted in the franchise being rebooted in the 2000s with Christopher Nolan's critically acclaimed Batman Begins. Despite its poor reputation, the film has gained a cult following for its unintentional humor and campy charm.

Nicholas Cage proves his special gift for keeping the paychecks coming, teaming up with the director of My Bloody Valentine for Drive Angry 3D, due in theaters early in February, 2011. The promotional materials seem a little ambivalent or ambiguous about the film's supernatural element: Cage supposedly has escaped from Hell to avenge his daughter's murder and rescue his infant grand-daughter from sacrifice at the hands of a devil-worshipping cult. Of course, "The Accountant," one of Satan's executive demons, pursues Cage as he drives angrily across a hostile landscape in hot pursuit of bad guys and redemption. Many of the synopses omit the demonic content, perhaps because it has very little impact on the characters, situations, or plot. Three classic American muscle cars actually star in Drive Angry 3D, exuding at least as much sex appeal as Charlotte Ross, who delivers a soon-to-be-legendary sex-and-violence vignette between Cage's angry driving sequences. What's not to love about a 1964 Buick Riviera, a 1969 Dodge Charger, and a 1971 Chevy Malibu all muscled-up and chromed for the occasion? Regardless of critics' and audiences' reaction to Drive Angry 3D, film historians may use the film as compelling evidence in support of their argument 3D definitely makes a film's imagery more vivid but does not automatically improve its content or redeem it as a work of art.
