Advantages: Carey and Jones hamming it up

Disadvantages: Kilmer is not that great

In this Batman outing Val Kilmer dons the black kevlar suit as Bruce Wayne. Wayne is having doubts about his lifestyle and memories of his parents keep intruding into his head.

The quality of this film comes from the quality of Tommy Lee Jones as Harry Two Face, Jones plays the psychopath brilliantly and with Jim Carey expertly cast as The Riddler the two are excellent when on screen together. The love interest is provided by Nicole Kidman who forms a romantic triangle between Batman, herself and Bruce Wayne. She is also connected to Two Face professionally. The final significant cast member sees the introduction of Robin, played by Chris O'Donnell who is a circus performer whose family are killed by Two Face and his gang.

By the time this came out I was starting to lose interest n the Batman series of films as the second one was rather poor, this film is a lot better helped mainly by the inclusion of Jones and Carey, visually it is excellent however neither Kilmer or O Donnell bring enough to their characters in my opinion and this leaves the film a little flat when they are in front of the camera.

The action scenes are impressive and it is a great rollercoaster of a film which certaonly makes it better than the second effort but it is still a film that failed to ttally grab me when I saw it for the first time and watching it again recently it had not improved with age.

Summary: Ok film
