Movie review - "Batman and Robin" (1997) **

 Look, yes, it's bad, but not one of the worst films ever made. It does have a vision - bright and colourful. Young kids will like it. Clooney wobbles his head still a lot at this stage but he's fine. Chris O'Donnell whines a lot but he doesn't have much to play.

Film has bad emotional core. Who cares about Robin sulking around Batman? Or the villains? Elle MacPherson is the beard. Alicia Silverstone is wasted as Batgirl. Film should have been about her. Bane is wasted.

They borrow structure of Batman Forever with Uma Thurman as mad scientis and Arnie as the established villain. Good showmanship to have Arnie as villain.
