this is a true story...I took a friend who got out of jail a few days before to see this movie and he literally said 'that movie was worse than prison'.
@@molin2910 yeah, and I really gotta give him credit, he had the balls to actually apologize for making the movie, name another director that actually apologized for making a movie
@@Dram305 he was only following the direction of Schumaker. If given better direction, I'm sure his performance wouldn't be nearly as hated as it is now. Edit: plus his performance is not the only bad component of the movie. Many bad decisions were made that Clooney had nothing to do with. He was just doing his job as an actor.
@@callumdalton9560 Totally agree. I wasn't a fan of Tim Burton picking Keaton for the role and wished he'd picked someone like Clooney, who actually looks like Bruce Wayne. But Clooney's own performance, even taking into account the bad writing & direction, was a major letdown.
@TheAstroZombi Yes it is. It's offensive and hurtful towards people with disabilities. Sure people thought it was funny in 2008 but it isn't funny now that times have changed and things have gotten more politically correct. Just think about how you would feel if you were mentally disabled and someone called you a retard.
There was a third Schumacher Batman film planned. It was gonna be called Batman Triumphant and it was gonna feature none other than Nicolas Cage as the Scarecrow. I'll let that glorious idea sink in. Also, thank you, Chris, for another amazing Hilariocity review! Keep up the good work.
Here's more... Madonna was eyed for Haley Quinn (who was Joker's daughter this time around), Man-Bat and The Mad Hatter were potential villians with Ewan McGregor eyed for Man-Bat. Jack Nicholson would have returned for a dream sequence. This may have been amazing.
Call me crazy, but I actually don’t hate Arnold as Mr. Freeze. I mean, he wasn’t the right casting choice at all (Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, and Ed Harris were originally considered), but he clearly put effort into his performance. He tries to make his one liners sound convincing and there’s a lot of energy to him, so he’s clearly having fun being this over the top bad guy. He’s also the only actor who didn’t hate being in this movie. He’s capable of showing emotion when he needs to, like for instance, the scenes with his wife. He manages to be convincing as a mourning husband who misses the woman he loves, will do anything to be reunited with her, and is devastated when he thinks she is dead. And keep in mind, some of this is while he’s wearing the stupid polar bear robe & slippers. Sadly his sympathetic qualities are dampened by the fact that he casually makes hilariously bad ice puns while he tries to straight up murder people and take over the world and Arnold Schwarzenegger, despite how educated he is, will never be convincing as a scientist (Junior, yuck, though once again he tries), so yeah, it’s definitely not a good adaptation of the character, but that’s not Arnold’s fault. Arnold gave him more complexity than this version deserved.
@@SimonWoodburyForget its not bad enough to be laughable, but not good enough to enjoy it. It's in the weird middle zone where it just infuriates and annoys.
I never did. I had fun as a kid. Even had a poster. It’s just so amazingly cheesy. Unlike the third spiderman film, which really wanted to take itself seriously.
Kudos to Michael Gough for being Alfred through all four movies. There's been mediocre Batmen, but never a mediocre Alfred. Yes I'm including the Snyderverse performance. Also Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze is so great, it's obvious he knows that the movie is shit anyway, but decided to make it so-bad-it's-good. I literally thought that George Clooney acted like George Clooney in a Batman costume on my first watch. Also the amount of times I thought "who wrote this shit" was in the triple digits.
@@SDfan2002 That's what she meant. Folks keep thinking he said "Luke, I am your father" when he really said "No, I am your father". It's the same with the folks who think Freeze said "Ice to see you" here when he never did.
The scientist that tries to kill Poison Ivy in the scene that she gets her powers, is played by John Glover. John worked a lot for the DCU. He was Lionel Luthor on "Smallville", Doctor Sivana's father in "Shazam", (The Floronic Man) mad Scientist in Batman and Robin, the voice of the Riddler in Batman the Animated Series
ZuluChick Because of time periods.... nobody knew back then batman would be SOOO huge... they knew it would be big but NOT THAT big... they had NO idea! Also becsuse technology wasnt on there side at that time... burton made an entire damn city and a batmobile for this movie off of shit car scrap and jet stuff. So there is a huge justification for burton not being on par with nolan
21:57 A bat credit card? They gave him a bat credit card? They had the BALLS, to give one of the greatest super heroes of all time A BAT CREDIT CARD?!?! NO! NO! DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!!!!!
+MrFlipperInvader782 It's fucking dumb. How could you possibly have a credit card without assigning an address to it to receive its bills? That's like saying his Shark Repellant wasn't dumb. (Pretty sure that was from the Adam West tv show, but still.)
+MrFlipperInvader782 Fine, how about WHY WOULD BATMAN HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING? If Batman actually needed something that he would need to purchase, he would do it as Bruce Wayne. That's why it's dumb. Batman and Bruce Wayne are drastically different characters, despite being the same person.
I love mr Freeeze in this movie. It's one of those situation where his puns are bad that it's actually funny and arnold is clearly like "this movie is terrible may as well have some fun" because he is clearly having some fun knowing how terrible his puns are and it's halrious.
As Nostalgia Critic said it "best": it's like the dance number from Spider-Man 3; it's supposed to be funny, and it's hilarious. It is bad, but that's why we have to love it
Yeah i doubt he’ll ever make a hilariocity now knowing he’s in the industry now, I don’t blame him but that probably means he won’t ever be honest and likely wont make vids with theflickpick
Glad the last thing stand Lee saw was Avengers 4 and Spider-Man 2, far from home. Or at least he shit cameos for them, he was good friends with Bob Kane too
"Thanks, Joel Schumacher, you really set the tone for this movie. And the tone is : ASS !" "Just look at this neon nightmare. It looks like a futuristic sex toy." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I also love how Clooney made no attempt to even tone up for the roll. He barely fits in the batsuit. There are times he turns his head and his mask is so loose.
He put nearly zero effort into the role. Funny thing is he seamed to know the source material really well, like more than just an entry level fan. There are a few interviews were he talks about talking to Joel about the different sides of Bruce and a few really deep cut theories like playing Bruce as secretly gay. Just like Chris brought up in the video. Why he didn't bother to use any of it is unknown. He checks out mentally once people try to press him on this movie
Chris……..When Batman was sliding down that thing and you played Fred Flintstone doing the “ Yabba Dabba Doo” yell the length of the shot I blew ice tea out through my nose. Excellent Editing. This was better then the movie. Sooooooo funny.
"You killed my parents, I made you. You made me first" "Im not gonna kill you, but I dont have to save you either." "Hey, the heat is on." Really lives up to the others.
*Don't forget that one:* "I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you're here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson, dying in the gutter for no reason at all... They taught me the world only makes sense if you force it to."
Intern: “Isn’t Bane supposed to be an intelligent terrorist/strategist?” Joel Schumacher: “Yes, but why don’t we make him a huge, bumbling Hulk guy on steroids that can only mumble?” Intern: “But that’s not what he is…” Joel Schumacher: “Your fired.”
Christopher Nolan: (to the Batman franchise after Batman and Robin) I’m not going to kill you. *Directs Batman Begins and makes it his own* Christopher Nolan: But I don’t have to save you.
Damn right. The Dark Knight trilogy is still the best comic movies ever by a mile. That says a lot considering the stuff marvel has put out and man of steel and watchmen which were actually amazing DC movies unlike the rest.
Hugo Stiglitz I kinda found them boring, they gave off the batman vibe that bored me. Oddly enough Batman and Robin is one of the few Batman solo movies I enjoyed, since it was so goofy and none batman like in any form.
+Diet Sexual_Chocolate If you're not joking or making a sarcasm i honestly think you should see a doctor. if you think this movie is in any way enjoyable
I can't stop laughing every time John Flickinger talks as the dude is just so damn intense. Are you doing a RUclips video or announcing a Vegas heavyweight match, buddy?
Leon A it is for me, because when I was little I un-ironically loved the shit out of this movie. And now every time I see it, I’m just like, “eh that was pretty fun.” Because the nostalgia is too strong.
@@misspriss2482 exactly say what you want about the 60's show but a was cheesy and corny but a less respect the intelligence of his audience a was the right amount of goofy and the right amount of smart at the same time, batman and robin feels more like is mocking the adam west era of batman by trying be that and a the same thing insulting us thinking we will ignoré the fact this is just a giant and shallow comercial for toys.
The reason he said “mr freeze” like that is because he’s told that the guy turned folks into blocks of ICE. so Batman can said it like “oooh ok I get it... mr FREEZE” like he sees the play on words of it and not impressed. It’s like saying it with a smfh
I have the strong conviction that this movie was trying to bring back the 1960's Batman tone. But we weren't in the 60's anymore, for better or for worse... I also believe that this movie accomplished one important thing (whether intentionally or not): it paid a homage to a certain Batman portrayal that we will not see anymore, to a tv show that was a product of its time.
I love the guy but I feel bad for him he apologize for this movie when it was the studios fault they made this movie straight for the toys and Schumacher took the blame for their shitty script
Luiz Rhakesh I was still sad at banes eventual demise in the film, and his revealed inconsequentiality to the endgame. Saddened me as a fanboy, but worked for the film.
It took me getting to about 7 minutes in to realize that I've SEEN this movie and I saw it when I was about 7 years old on a VHS my parents bought. And I'm not kidding, I actually liked this movie when I was that young. Now I'm just sitting here in shame thinking "Wow. Absolutely not. There's no way. NO."
It's okay dude we all have our opinions and they change I also used to like this film but watching after a while made me realize how..... interesting it is
angelique mercado It totally explains why the movie was referred to as “2 hour toy commercial”. Uma Thurman should go back to the Quentin Tarantino movies.
Cybernetic Nerd Yeah although she still wasn’t that well known. Although it doesn’t matter who was in the film. Michael Keaton or Christian Bale or Ben Affleck could have been Batman in this film and it still would have sucked because of how badly and how corny it was written.
It's like he meets Arlond Schwarzenegger at a Halloween party and the conversation below plays out. Arnold - "Clooney! Guess who I am? I'm Mr.Freeze!" Clooney - "Hi Feeze, I'm Batman."
All that prick Bob Kane created was the name Bat-man and a shitty picture. Bill Finger as far as I am concerned created Batman. He came up with Bruce Wayne, his origin, Gotham, the Batmobile, his suit, utility belt, Wayne Manor, Robin, Joker, Scarecrow, Two-Face, Catwoman, the Riddler, the Penguin, Commissioner Gordon and he created Batman's nickname 'The Dark Knight'.
I met one of the engineers that designed the bat mobile for Batman and Robin. He said it has four-wheel steering with two v12 engines. The front and rear drive- and power-trains are independent, this allows the car to select between front, rear, and four-wheel drive. He said the car can essentially pivot in place, is over twenty feet long, and not as fast as you would imagine.
+C Delany Bill Finger was the true creator of Batman. He came up with everything that makes Batman great. All Bob Kane did was come up with the name. Oh and scam Bill Finger. Bob Kane got what he deserved.
I've watched this review at least 10 times, which is twice as much as I've watched the movie. I'm ALMOST thankful for the movie just so I can cackle like a maniac at this review.
"Hey Batman, could I borrow one of your lasers? I mean you have ice skates built into your boots, could I borrow one of your extra lasers? No? You're just gonna leave? Well FUCK YOU TOO!!"
Painful thing with TASM 2 is that it just did everything wrong Spiderman 3 did wrong. It also isn't funny. Way better movie but actually less enjoyable.
I like Amazing Spider Man 2. It was mindless summer popcorn movie fun. It could have been easily a lot better but it is nowhere as bad as Batman and Robin.
"Hi Freeze, I'm Batman." has the same energy as "Hi hungry, I'm dad."
I needed this
Hi freeze I'm Batman like Welcome to my neighborhood I'm Mr. Rogers.
I thought of this:
"Daaaavid Leeetterman."
"Hi David, I'm Grandpa."

Chris……..When Batman was sliding down that thing and you played Fred Flintstone doing the “ Yabba Dabba Doo” yell the length of the shot I blew ice tea out through my nose. Excellent Editing. This was better then the movie. Sooooooo funny.
"Hey Freeze, the heat is on."
XD XD XD XD
Sounded like Firestorm's reference.
"You killed my parents, I made you. You made me first"
"Im not gonna kill you, but I dont have to save you either."
"Hey, the heat is on."
Really lives up to the others.
Everybody just yell and scream at each other nobody is civil anymore nobody thinks what is like to be the other guy.
@@abramsullivan7764 When the chips are down, these, uh, so called civilized people... they’ll eat each other
this movie is stupid
*Don't forget that one:*
"I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you're here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson, dying in the gutter for no reason at all... They taught me the world only makes sense if you force it to."
"Rubber lips are immune to your charms"- Robin. Is that his most famous line?
Intern: “Isn’t Bane supposed to be an intelligent terrorist/strategist?” Joel Schumacher: “Yes, but why don’t we make him a huge, bumbling Hulk guy on steroids that can only mumble?” Intern: “But that’s not what he is…” Joel Schumacher: “Your fired.”
Fun Fact: The scientist who created Bane was played by John Glover the same guy who voiced the Riddler from Batman the animated series!
"let's pretend you have never watched this movie"
I actually never have
I envy you
I bought the DVD. Because it's fun.
And you should consider yourself incredibly fortunate.
@@mauvem it's fun!? WHY? Would you Make A HORRIBLE JOKE INSTEAD OF WATCHING THIS MOVIE I SPENT TWO SLAMMING MY HEAD INTO THE WALL!
I've seen Batman & Robin when I was a kid I'll never see it again.
We have Christopher Nolan to thank for saving this beloved franchise
Christopher Nolan: (to the Batman franchise after Batman and Robin) I’m not going to kill you.
*Directs Batman Begins and makes it his own*
Christopher Nolan: But I don’t have to save you.

I've watched this hilariocity so many times and I love it

So have I.
The combination of Chris and John is unrivalled for movie reviews.
This review NEVER gets old ive seen it like 10 times...the nic cage moment is golden btw
Same 🤣🤣
Thank you God for Christopher Nolan
And Zack Snyder
Damn right. The Dark Knight trilogy is still the best comic movies ever by a mile. That says a lot considering the stuff marvel has put out and man of steel and watchmen which were actually amazing DC movies unlike the rest.
B La snack zyder
Hugo Stiglitz I kinda found them boring, they gave off the batman vibe that bored me.
Oddly enough Batman and Robin is one of the few Batman solo movies I enjoyed, since it was so goofy and none batman like in any form.
+Diet Sexual_Chocolate If you're not joking or making a sarcasm
i honestly think you should see a doctor.
if you think this movie is in any way enjoyable
Can you imagine Bob Kane seeing the Dark Knight? CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT
Frederick Caballero or the Arkham series.
Excuse me, I have to go cry like a little girl. :'(
Fuck bob kane. Bill finger is the man
It would've brought tears to his eyes.
Bob Kane is a crook. Bill Finger is the DUDE!
What does it matter? Bob Kane is a fraud.
People staring at Batman's nipples, he's like "Hey! My eyes are up here!".
Picasso: Oh, I disagree.
I can't stop laughing every time John Flickinger talks as the dude is just so damn intense.
Are you doing a RUclips video or announcing a Vegas heavyweight match, buddy?
*1997*
Me: This film is so bad that it's hilarious instead of being atrocious..
Friend: This will be a cult classic in 20 years
*2017*
Me: My Ass
Joy Aloysius but it kinda is a cult classic
Leon A it is for me, because when I was little I un-ironically loved the shit out of this movie.
And now every time I see it, I’m just like, “eh that was pretty fun.” Because the nostalgia is too strong.
And bat ass!
Kortni Edwards bat nipple
Joy Aloysius pmnbjb
As a 6 year old I loved this movie and thought it was epic
How about now?
I still love it, 33yo
Same, I was 9 yo boy and thought it was a masterpiece.
Then you nagged your parents to buy toys I’m guessing
Good for you man now go watch JOKER (2019) it's not a kid film.
Cloony: Hi Freeze I'm Batman how's your day?
Freeze: it's chill
Cloony: great have a good one.
*Clooney
End of movie
You could've said "Great have a cold one." 🤣🤣🤣
@@abramsullivan7764 lol yep that's a good one.
I thought it was a Damn Good Movie!
Nah, just Trolling.....
LoL!
Comparing Batman & Robin to the 60's show is an insult to the 60's show.
True
Comparing any of those with the real Batman is an insult
the main reason for that the 60's batman show "WAS ACTUALLY FUN"
@@carlossilva6828 Yes. The 60s Batman was deliberately cheesy and it was self-aware. They played it straight with a wink at the audience.
@@misspriss2482 exactly say what you want about the 60's show but a was cheesy and corny but a less respect the intelligence of his audience a was the right amount of goofy and the right amount of smart at the same time, batman and robin feels more like is mocking the adam west era of batman by trying be that and a the same thing insulting us thinking we will ignoré the fact this is just a giant and shallow comercial for toys.
Alfred isnt sick, he's trying not to follow through when he's farting.
😂😂😂
Such an underrated comment.
13:18 "Most comedies are only an hour and a half long."
My reaction: Most jokes are less than a minute long
Damn
The reason he said “mr freeze” like that is because he’s told that the guy turned folks into blocks of ICE. so Batman can said it like “oooh ok I get it... mr FREEZE” like he sees the play on words of it and not impressed. It’s like saying it with a smfh
I thought since Batman has probably been crime fighting for a good 5-10 years I took it as Batman saying his name like it was a another day at work
I personally love this movie because it’s so bad. Every single scene has something to cringe at.
See it's like poetry
Princess Rainbovvs X Musashi It’s so dense, every single image
it's so terribly cheesy and amazing, I love it, every pun and stupid moment.
Exactly
I have the strong conviction that this movie was trying to bring back the 1960's Batman tone. But we weren't in the 60's anymore, for better or for worse...
I also believe that this movie accomplished one important thing (whether intentionally or not): it paid a homage to a certain Batman portrayal that we will not see anymore, to a tv show that was a product of its time.
Clooney: Hi Freeze, I'm Batman
Bale: No you're not.
LMAO! That was a perfect ending to this video xD
One of the funniest reviews ever!!
RIP Joel Schumacher
I love the guy but I feel bad for him he apologize for this movie when it was the studios fault they made this movie straight for the toys and Schumacher took the blame for their shitty script
Bill Finger was fortunate enough to not live to see this travesty of his work and Bob Kane was. I have never believed in karma more than I do now.
I wish he'd at least seen Tim Burton's first Batman film
thank god bane got his redemption in the dark knight rises thanks to the legendary christopher nolan
That bane was ok but any things better than this shit
That wasn't bane in DKR, it was more Mutant Leader than Bane
+Hrittik Azad no, it was bane without the venom steroid
+Hrittik Azad just a realistic bane
Luiz Rhakesh I was still sad at banes eventual demise in the film, and his revealed inconsequentiality to the endgame. Saddened me as a fanboy, but worked for the film.
It took me getting to about 7 minutes in to realize that I've SEEN this movie and I saw it when I was about 7 years old on a VHS my parents bought. And I'm not kidding, I actually liked this movie when I was that young.
Now I'm just sitting here in shame thinking "Wow. Absolutely not. There's no way. NO."
It's okay dude we all have our opinions and they change I also used to like this film but watching after a while made me realize how..... interesting it is
RJ Kroeplin I used think it was good when I was a kid too, your not alone
@Waut Dooghe Haha I promise I know that, thanks
Don't sweat it. I used to watch Green Acres on TV when I was a 5 or 6 and I loved it. Stupidest shit I have seen now.
I loved this movie as a kid, and I now realize it was intended to profit off of kids, so I can understand why
BatMAN is so PC, that one of the names he recommends for batgirl is bat person. Lol
" That's why every poison Ivy action figure comes with..." I'm done. 😒
angelique mercado It totally explains why the movie was referred to as “2 hour toy commercial”. Uma Thurman should go back to the Quentin Tarantino movies.
Cybernetic Nerd This was before she did the Kill Bill movies. This and the Avengers knocked her back for a few years.
@Allen Greene Uma Thurman was in Pulp Fiction before Batman & Robin.
Yup, that was just about my, reaction when I rewatch, this crapfest of a moive.
Cybernetic Nerd Yeah although she still wasn’t that well known. Although it doesn’t matter who was in the film. Michael Keaton or Christian Bale or Ben Affleck could have been Batman in this film and it still would have sucked because of how badly and how corny it was written.
'OOOOHHH MONEY MONEY MONEY'
...that had me laughing good. thank you.
Rest In Peace Joel Schumacher.
"No, you are just George Clooney with rubber nipples."
That line cracked me up :D
Why does John Flickinger talk like he's providing commentary on a WWF show?
The juice amps you up, that's why.
Julio Araque But he's always like that, though... Very funny guy, but I can't watch him for too long because his energy levels are tiring me!
RIGHT?! I thought I was the only one who thought so! Lol
This movie killed Bob Kane
lol
It don’t kill him
Eye cancer is a real thing. I've seen it. 😂😂😂
But Bill Finger lives on in our hearts.
Lol
It's like he meets Arlond Schwarzenegger at a Halloween party and the conversation below plays out.
Arnold - "Clooney! Guess who I am? I'm Mr.Freeze!"
Clooney - "Hi Feeze, I'm Batman."
Arnold not Arlond
All that prick Bob Kane created was the name Bat-man and a shitty picture. Bill Finger as far as I am concerned created Batman. He came up with Bruce Wayne, his origin, Gotham, the Batmobile, his suit, utility belt, Wayne Manor, Robin, Joker, Scarecrow, Two-Face, Catwoman, the Riddler, the Penguin, Commissioner Gordon and he created Batman's nickname 'The Dark Knight'.
Like with Stan Lee.. Steve Ditko created the costume, etc.. But his name is not rung as much..
Damn talk about taking the credit
I thought the Joker was created by Jerry Robinson ?
+Ricardo Cantoral no Bill Finger all the way.
+Ricardo Cantoral Jerry did the first concept sketch. Bill did the rest.
*stuckman*: No one does that ever
*electrical engineer flipping a particularly beefy high voltage switch*: Oh yes...
I now flip switches like this
I was 16 when this movie was released in 1997 and I saw it in the theater...even then, I found it absolutely awful.
NorthSea 1981 I was 10 when it came out and the same thing.
The song Bone Thugs N Harmony did for it tho was tight.
NorthSea 1981 I sadly remember buying the comic for it...
NorthSea 1981 I was 6 and loved it.
I was 10 :P
I met one of the engineers that designed the bat mobile for Batman and Robin. He said it has four-wheel steering with two v12 engines. The front and rear drive- and power-trains are independent, this allows the car to select between front, rear, and four-wheel drive. He said the car can essentially pivot in place, is over twenty feet long, and not as fast as you would imagine.
5:00 “It looks like a futuristic sex toy.” Omg it totally does.
I had tears welling in my eyes when you said this was the last Batman movie Bob Kane ever saw. Thats so terrible.
serves the fraud right
uh bad time?
+Adrián Díaz He was dead by 1974, so he likely only saw the Adam West Batman movie before he died. Poor bastard.
+C Delany Bill Finger was the true creator of Batman. He came up with everything that makes Batman great. All Bob Kane did was come up with the name. Oh and scam Bill Finger. Bob Kane got what he deserved.
+C Delany Bob Kane was a fraud and a douche, so he deserved it.
my favourite movies ever
1. The Phantom Menace
2. Batman & Robin
3. X-Men: The Last Stand
4. Hulk
5. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
can we be friends?
hah, nice bait
Oh please fantastic 4 "2015" is a classic mmmmkay??
you are a smart human being
Ummmmmmmmm.... Your list is flawed. It's missing Howard the Duck
I've watched this review at least 10 times, which is twice as much as I've watched the movie. I'm ALMOST thankful for the movie just so I can cackle like a maniac at this review.
I was literally crying when John talks about batman telling commissioner Gordon he had 11 minutes to thaw the people out then leaves🤣🤣
I was dying also when John was talking about the hidden button 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆🤣
"Hey Batman, could I borrow one of your lasers? I mean you have ice skates built into your boots, could I borrow one of your extra lasers? No? You're just gonna leave? Well FUCK YOU TOO!!"
That's my favorite part of the video
I'm surprised they didn't talk about Ivy's quote when Robin is essentially hitting on her near the end: "Slippery when wet". 👏
I can't believe people think TASM 2 was anywhere near the same level of bad as this piece of shit.
Yeah I know. It's an ok movie in my opinion. It's just a popular thing to do now, to just shit on TASM 2
Painful thing with TASM 2 is that it just did everything wrong Spiderman 3 did wrong. It also isn't funny. Way better movie but actually less enjoyable.
I like Amazing Spider Man 2. It was mindless summer popcorn movie fun. It could have been easily a lot better but it is nowhere as bad as Batman and Robin.
Maybe it's a popular thing to do because the movie sucked.
It comes closer than it should.
I literally rewatch these halariocity reviews every year. So entertaining:)
I really want to see "Nippley Circus Action Man The Movie" now.
You have! It's called "Batman and Robin!"
Starring Richard Simmons and directed by John Waters.
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 I miss Richard Simmons, especially his Letterman interviews.
