Batman & Robin

There's pleasure to be found in how campy Joel Schumacher's second Batman outing is (puns!), but everyone except Thurman and Schwarzenegger are phoning their performances in. Too long and too focused on toy sales, this is excess, but not the good kind.

Batman & Robin really feels as if director Joel Schumacher was painting by numbers.

Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy is camp personified once her violent transformation is complete, purring out her ridiculous lines like the movie stars of old.

Perhaps most disheartening of all is the fact that every character in the film defies gravity, physics, and any form of logic in their clunky or obnoxiously vivid designs.
