I love that Joel Schumacher can make one of my favorite films Falling Down (Michael Douglas) and then a movie that’s super fun terrible and wacky like this. I think you’re quite the filmmaker if you can do both of those
Man Jamie, this movie STOINKS
@@TheKristianHarloff I agree with you Kristian 100%
Falling Down is a truly awesome film. I also highly enjoyed Schumaker's Phantom of the Opera.
For me it’s The Lost Boys.
For years I blamed Joel Schumacher for this nonsense, I wish I knew!
Yeah def not his fault
I saw this opening night. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was done when Clooney whipped out the bat credit card.
Yup
Best part of this movie was the opportunity to have Kristian do the Arnold voice for the one liners 😂😂 I Wish I Knew!
Ha
“You’re not sending me to the cooler” 😂 love it.For someone who’s known for his one liners he’s got a ton of underrated ones in this movie !
Oof
So many quotables from my childhood! “Rubber lips are immune to your charm”
“ as I told lady freeze before I pulled her plug, this is a one woman show” 💀
“Freezy, why the cold shoulder?”
“Who is this nutball?!”
“And we will rule the world as Adam..and Evil” 🤣🤣
The absolute BEST is when Batman and Robin are going back and forth at the charity auction for Ivy. Batman pulls out the damn credit card, talking about “never leave home without it!” 💀 this movie is a classic !
We have a different definition to classic, haha
@@TheKristianHarloff fair fair! Guilty pleasure is more appropriate haha
I always come back to rewatch this video every time I can. It’s so hilarious hearing you guys ripping this movie apart while at the same time pointing really interesting facts and trivia. This is definitely one of my favorite videos on this channel. Keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great rewatch episode kristian. Wonder why your channel isn't big enough as it should. I wish i knew.
Hey for only 5 and a half months of content, to be 37,000 subscribers in, I will take it! It took Ellis and i 2 years to get to 5,000 subs.
Appreciate you guys working through this one. Thank God it's time for Nolan films
YUP
I wish I knew! 😁 You guys are awesome!
Haha
I have no class. I wish I knew. Great video as always. Don’t know how you sat through that dumpster fire of shit but you did. Well done.
Thank you!
Great Review guys! There always seems to be something new to say about this film.... I'm working on some of my dumb videos about this, when I'm done I'll send it to you.
When will I have it? I wish I knew...
hahah
@@TheKristianHarloff Done.
This is my favorite out of all the 90s I think Arnold’s Iceman is hilarious 😂 as a kid I loved this movie & I still do .
Fair
Is this the best trio on RUclips? I wish I knew.
Ha thanks
“Win a Gold Fish Here” got me blocked by Campea on Twitter 😂
:(
42:53 lol I love the voice Kristian does here! Reminds of the friend of Jerry Seinfeld's dad from the retirement home, the one who kept insisting Jerry to keep the NASA pen.
Haha
“Hi Freeze… I’m Batman 😁”
Pure cringe.
Yes!!
Atrocious
The smashing pumpkins had a banger of a song on the soundtrack............. That's about the only positive thing I could muster about this movie.
Music was always on point for these.
I watched this for the first time in a long time yesterday. I actually thought to myself “maybe I’ll like it more this time” Then it got to the auction scene. To quote Andy Serkis’ Alfred “Dear God…”
On a really sad note, this is the last Batman film that Batman creator Bob Kane saw before he passed away. Yeah I don’t have any jokes for that , it’s just really sad.
Atrocious
@Robert Rains Yeah Ik Bill Finger was the co creator but Bill Finger didn’t see Batman and Robin as his last Batman movie
Bill Finger did
@Aidan Keohane Bill Finger is the creator of Batman.
Why haven't people shown some class and hit the subscribe and notification buttons? "I wish I knew." Love you guys doing these reviews, it's always a good time.
Wise words!
I wish I knew. Apologies, apologies and have some class need to be T-shirts. Winston is right tho. Clooney is the most Bruce Wayne looking actor to play Batman. (Followed by Bale, Affleck and Kilmer) Batman and Robin is so bad this is the least I’ve ever heard Coy speak. But now you’re getting into the good stuff. Looking forward to you guys discussing The Dark Knight Trilogy. I love that the studio allowed Nolan to really care about Batman. He saved the franchise cinematically and changed the course of the superhero movie.
Maybe Just Maybe!!
Kristian, your Arnold voice is perfect.
I was obsessed with this movie when I was 9, but then I rewatched when I was 13 and not only did I realize how bad it was, I realized how much it ruined Mr. Freeze for me subconsciously ( though I glad it's gotten to a point where people have become vocal about giving him a second chance on film). I tried to enjoy it ironically and it is still THE most mind numbing film I've ever watched. And I've seen all the Transformers films from Michael Bay.
Why does Mr. Freeze have a cigar? I wish I knew.
Was so excited for this and it did not disappoint. Loved how you went from silly ridiculousness into actual interesting film commentary. Would love to see you lot rewatch the 90s Power Rangers movie. Its a very similar vibe. I know that doesn't sell it but it would be a lot of fun for the viewers.
Suggest it on the Patreon! We are doing one exclusive Rewatch there a month!
@@TheKristianHarloff oh I will be. You know I've been there since the beginning. Massively support the changes. Its not been fun lately listening to great talent asking for money. Would much prefer quality over quantity. I hope the Patreon absolutely explodes for you.
So for this rewatch series I rewatched all 4 but with the Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin commentary. If you ever give these movies another go I suggest that. They have some good insights to the production and some hilarious jokes.
Those were awesome. I waited years for them to put out their Batman and Robin commentary.
Haha thanks
Those are funny,i like his review of Dark knight rises
Why do I watch every video Kristian uploads?...
;) I wish I knew
HA
Hey, your Arnold impressions are spot on 😆❕
Hey, thanks!
@@TheKristianHarloff You're welcome❕I'm looking forward to the Nolan videos.
John Glover has been in several DC stuff.Dr. Jason Woodrow here in Batman & Robin.Lionel Luthor on Smallville,Dr. Sivana''s father in Shazam.He also voiced The Riddler in Batman The Animated Series which was a serious version of the character.Not goofy like the Batman '66 version or Batman Forever.
Yea
I saw this when i was 12,the lost world was out at the same time but i saw it like 3 times already so i said screw it lets watch Batman and Robin,and about 20 minutes in i was embarrassed to be in the theater,we had girls with us to so i was really embarrassed lol i even remember standing by the concession stand that was right outside the theater when it was almost over and people were already walking out making fun of the movie, especially when they came out running towards the screen at the end of the film, everyone hated what they just witnessed it was so funny, Alicia Silverstone had the only none campy performance for some reason lol great review
Thank you!
"i wish i knew" why i'm literraly cracking at laugh 😂. 🙌🏼Kristian.
Hahaha
Mr. Freeze "What killed the dinosaurssss?"
Me "I wish I knew."
Hahahha
I listened to the podcast and heard you talking about Vivica Fox and only watched it for her. Watched 30 minutes, got a call and thought, " that'll do pig. That'll do."
Hahaha
Random Imperial: "Who are your people?"
Han: I WISH I KNEW
Haha
44:43 hahahahaha I was rewatching the movie and I noticed this scene and I died laughing 😆
Right?! I WISH I KNEW!!! Please check out Friday Night Titans, would love to hear what you think! ruclips.net/video/ZbsYDttQgv0/видео.html
#iwishiknew Lol. Thank you very much gentlemen!!! I know this movie is extremely painful to revisit. I haven't seen this movie in years. Not sure I ever want to revisit it either. Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!!! Thank you for making me lol so hard!!! 😄
Our pleasure!
John Glover plays Dr. Woodrue. The first time I saw Glover was his role in Gremlins 2: The New Batch!
Word
This movie is undeniably terrible but it holds a special place in my heart for a few reasons.
1. I was a child... It was my first time seeing batman on the big screen. ( Yes, I've seen the Michael Keaton one's but not until after the fact.)
2. Arnold was just campy, cheesy, cartoony goodness.
3. Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl was my sexual awakening.
(How I knew I was attracted to older women, even at that young of an age 🤣)
Copy that!!
The Riddler and Two face costumes are both in Arkham, and how they got two face’s costume , I WISH I KNEW!!!
Haha
Me: Kristian why do you, Winston and Coy make my day
Kristian: I wish we knew 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
You guys are awesome. Why? I Wish I Knew.
Hahaha
@@TheKristianHarloff Seriously though thank you guys. this re-watch series has been amazing. Looking forward to the rest of batman films. any ideas on what's next after Batman?
Would you like fries with that?
I wish I knew?
hahah
Started laughing hysterically the moment I pressed play. 🤦♂️🤣
Hahah good!
"I wish I knew." lol
Haha
Winston is dead wrong. Batman: The Movie (1966) has way better puns and one liners than this. That one is actually really funny.
And just because this movie attempts at being fun does not make it so, like how I'm seeing from a lot of the comment section. The thing i do like are the statues as tall as skyscrapers. That's pretty cool design. The score isn't that bad either. Quite catchy in a good way actually.
Thank you!!
The Batman (1966) tv show and movie were really terrific. It was intended to be saterical and outrageous. Both the show and the movie are good family fun, kinda like how "The Lego Batman Movie" is for today's generation. Basically, the people behind the scenes were in on the joke, but took it sincerely.
42:22 I’m sure someone else has pointed this out in the comments; but that woman is in this, Forever and Returns and her name is Elizabeth Sanders. She was Bob Kane’s then second wife and widow, Bob died a year offer Batman & Robin.
Yup, know now for sure!
Back in 97 my brother got free tickets to watch this movie and we almost walked out after the icecapades fight, why didn't we, wish I knew
Haha
I know I said Batman forever is worse than this movie last week but I rewatched this movie and man it’s annoying as shit lol.
HORRENDOUS
They mixed Barbera Gordon with Julia Pennyworth, Alfred's niece from the comics, but Julia usually is an MI6 agent.
Ya
shirt idea
"Why did you buy this shirt?
I wish i knew"
Hahaha
I have never been able to sit through this entire movie in one sitting.
And I can't believe I forgot about "Win a Goldfish here!" How did that happen?
Hahaha well you are welcome!
Is Winston on Edibles? Everythings like the funniest thing ever to him lol
Or I am just that good!
Remember this is last Batman movie Bob Kane saw in his lifetime . Just Sad. I don't put all the blame on Schmacher for this mess . WB Execs and Akiva Goldsman have to take some responsibility fpr this mess . The sad thing about Arnie's Mr Freeze is they used the basic premise of Mr Freeze's story arc from 'Heart of Ice' one of the best episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and completely butchered it. The small scenes between Bruce and Alfred are probably the best in the moviw and along with the score are probably the only features of the movie that are not completely terrible. I pity Elliot Goldenthal having to score this and he did the best he could with pretty attrocious material . The score appropriately captures the 66 Batman vibe at least.
This is true
... Coy really went all-out on the eye closing and laughing in this one. It was sweet...
Best to do it on a movie like this, where one can distract one's mind. Clever, really.
Haha
The guy that played the evil scientist was the voice of the riddler in the animated series
Yup
Me and my buddies in college played a drinking game to this movie where we drank at every pun/one-liner. We were drunk halfway through.
Hahaha
I watched this with Joel Schumacher's commentary and I get the impression that Joel really in his heart would have preferred to make something a bit darker with Batman but didn't feel he could say no to whatever the studio wanted after Batman Forever. A bit like Raimi plugging away with Spider-Man 3 and putting Venom just to please Avi Arad despite not liking the character . Batman and Robin suffered because the put merchandising and toys ahead movie quality. The props, vehicle designers and VFX guys must have been worn out such was the number of ' toys' thar needed to produce. Movie quality should never be sacrificed for merchandising . Nolan made it very clear when took over Batman the film must come first . For me the only redeeming qualities of this movie are the couple pf one to one Interactions between Bruce and Alfred and Elliot Goldenthal's score which does suit the campy but limited material rather well . This movie is probably playing in Comic Book movie hell along with rubbish Green Lantern , Superman IV, all the Fantastic Four movies , TASM 2 ( sorry Andrew) , Daredevil (2003) and it's spin off Elecktra , X Men Origins: Wolverine , Dark Phoenix and the theatrical cut of Justice League.
We talk about this!
@@TheKristianHarloff BTW Kristian did you know that Andrew Adamson who would direct the first two Shrek and Narnia movies worked the visual effects for Batman Forever and Batman and Robin working alongside John Dykstra who worked on and won an Oscar for his work on the original Star Wars and later won Oscar for his work on Spider-Man 2 . Some of the thing they tried with the computer effects were ambitious for the time but you can tell at the time this movie came out this computer technology was still not perfected yet.
I was 13 or 14 when this came out and it legit sucked the joy out of me as a Batman fan. It made me so angry. The only thing I liked was the shot of the three of them running in the shadows at the very end towards the screen. That looked cool to me
Just a big pile of farts
I think I still have an action figure of Robin and his Batbike thing somewhere.
Man
I actually enjoyed Batman Forever more than I remembered, but Batman and Robin was painful to get through. It takes the silliness from Forever, turns it up to 11 and removes any substance. There’s not much of a story to follow, and there aren’t any real characters in the movie, just hollow caricatures. I’m also pretty sure 80% or more of Arnold’s dialogue is ice puns. At least I have a new answer if a professor asks why I’m late to class. #iwishiknew
It is very brutal
"Why do you keep saying you wish you knew?"
"I wish I knew"
Haha
Just started the video Kristian and it seems like this rewatch has taken some years off your life 😂 I love how absolutely terrible this movie is & find it mind boggling that it even exists!
Hahah correct
Kristian out the gate making this a must-see
Haha
I wish I knew and now I know
I wish I knew
Saw this in theater when I was a kid. Then saw it again a few years ago. So bad. Immediately called my dad to apologize for making him take me to see it.
HAhaha
Hey I know it's not "batman", but if we are going in order, are you not going to do Catwoman? And later on the recent Joker film?
I wish I knew
Haha
Patrick Wilems has a good take on B&R....its a 'lifestyle' film (Joel Schumacher, duh) - Uma Thurman is doing a drag queen impression, gratuitous codpiece, T&A shots, ice skaters, Ivy is introduced in a BEAR costume, and Bane is in a BSDM suit. It kind of makes sense.
Also...Elle Macpherson in her prime tho....
“I wish I knew.” 😂
Haha
Great discussion. Yeah, this movie's a mess.
Big time
Will The Big Thing ever cover the DC animated movies? I wish I knew.
Haha
Dam, you guys had me dying laughing in this episode. This movie was bad in just about every single way but loved it as a kid.
Thanks Travis!!
You should get that buzzing sound from Demolition Man and play it everytime Rasheed Wallace says the F word like he did a few times on this vid!
:(
Fun fact. The Gossip Gerty actress is the late Bob Kane’s wife.
So I hear!
To be fair, I saw this in theaters when I was 5 years old. I thought it was awesome. Again, as a FIVE year old i thought this was great. It was still a big budget production. The issue is that they went all-in on the campy cartoony vibe. Which is fine for a small child, but as an adult its too silly. but it still has some production elements worthy of praise.
This movie is the equivalent to the same feeling I experienced when watching the Undertakers Streak come to an end. Yeah not every match was a classic but most were so yeah Batman Forever wasn’t great but a Batman movie is always something to look forward to just like the streak match was always something to look forward to at every Wrestlemania. Well this franchise got F-5’d 3 times and it took 8 years to recover. The Undertaker said he had a concussion at the beginning of his match against Lesnar and doesn’t remember anything about the streak ending match. Well I wish back in 1997 I would tripped when walking into the theater and would of been concussed to where I would have no recollection of ever seeing that 💩 terpiece of a movie.
So bad!!
Man...this movie defined The Smashing Pumpkins for me. I know that is silly lol. But this soundtrack was the first time I ever heard them. I checked out of the movie once Mr. Freeze cocked the ice gun, but the soundtrack slapped hard.
It wasn't bad
I was about to turn 26 when this came out. This is definitely the worst movie I went to the theater to see as an adult. In defense of Uma Thurman, her Poison Ivy accent seemed like it was based off of the Animated Series portrayal. Still didn't save the movie
Truth
Easter egg in the scene when robin talks to batgirl at the race in the background u can see Corey Haim as a extra
Really?!
A person could not give a convincing argument that objective bad movies don’t exist if that person had to defend Batman and Robin.
Also Spider Man 3, Battlefield Earth, Catwoman, etc.
It is not an easy task! Please check out Friday Night Titans, would love to hear what you think! ruclips.net/video/ZbsYDttQgv0/видео.html
I waited until today to binge the last three Batman rewatches. Why? I wish I knew.
Haha
Regardless of the outcome of this live action cartoon part of me always wanted to see shelved Batman Unchained/Triumphant. They were going to take Batman back to his roots to the “darker” tone w/ Scarecrow, Bruce hallucinating seeing The Joker, and Harley (as Joker’s daughter).
I get that
What's going on with Winston's camera?
Internet issues
I will say this about Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I saw B&R when I was like 3-4 years old in the theater. Oddly enough, I thought Mr. Freeze was scary. These movies aren't good, but Warner Brothers totally succeeded in making them marketable for kids and sell toys and other merchandise. My brother and I had the toys from both movies. So, from a business perspective, WB was successful. They just failed on other levels. Also, I preferred George Clooney to Val Kilmer as Bruce Wayne/Batman, but that's just my preference.
Fair
"I wish I knew."
Haha
Hey what happened to Collider?
I wish I knew
HAha
Winston got that Gotham WiFi
Ha
Kristian hit it right on the head with me. I love this movie because I saw it when I was four years old. I think even then, on an unconscious level, I knew it was bad, but it cracked me up. I would watch this movie anytime I wanted a laugh like it was a Disney movie. And then when I wanted really cool Batman, I'd watch the cartoon or one of the other movies. So even as an adult now, I still have fond memories of this movie. As far as I'm concerned, it's Good thru Forever. haha But I won't argue with anyone who says it's bad.
So why do I love this movie? I wish I knew.
Hahaha
The annoying reporter woman is the widow of Bob Kane, she was in Returns and Forever also. How do I know this? I wish I knew… 🤔
Hahaha
When I first watched Forever, I loved it. I found it awesome.
This one, I saw it was garbage from the first time I watched it. Was 15 for both
Another thing was how cheap this movie could look at times with how when freeze opens a door with icicles on it you can see the icicles wobbling back and forth.
We shall see!
34:32
😂😂😂🤣 I wish I knew
The best
I forgot about “Win a goldfish here”. Best thing Batman and Robin gave me. I have been watching along with you but I skipped this one. Why? I wish i knew.
Hahhaa
“I wish I knew” is now up there with “do it… and let the anglish see you do it”
Hahah
I unabashedly, and unironically love this movie. Totally understand the hate it gets. Just love that it’s a schlock-fest with Batman. It’s the ultimate “What if we remade Adam West Batman with a big budget and big actors?” And they succeeded. It’s a bad movie: but it’s a fun one. Lol
Haha
I wish I knew.
:)
i can proudly say that i have never watched this movie. Loved the first two, didn't like 'Forever" and i could see where they were going and said no way.
Samrt man
I'm with you guys. This movie is absolute garbage. Not just for all the things you guys talked about, but the action scenes aren't even good. Granted, I liked the casting and it somehow manages to not be boring, but that's not saying much. You also pointed out an inconsistency with Poison Ivy I hadn't noticed before in that she was on board with Mr. Freeze's plan to freeze the whole planet which would kill off all plant life too. She's supposed to be all about the plants, so that didn't make sense. I simply cannot understand what the hell was going through WB executives' heads with this film. I get wanting to sell toys, but like this? Jesus lol.
Everything about it STOINKS
Don't forget about Con Air, Face Off, & Air Force One also.
Sweet
Even as a kid I never really loved Batman forever or this this movie I was way more into the animated series at that point .
Totally fair
