Why do people hate this movie so much?


Sure it's not a great movie but I enjoyed it since it was entertaining, flowed at a fast pace and it's a fun movie to watch, I tend to like movies that are a little on the kooky side.

I give Batman & Robin a 7/10

I think it is certain age groups who don’t like it. It seems to be everyone who was a teenager or older when it first came out in 1997 hates it while those who were younger at that time or didn’t exist yet like it today. Also there are those who think Batman has to be dark and serious and can’t stand campiness

It is badly made with it feeling like gay campy, being a rehash of Batman Forever and having an actor who was playing himself as both Batman and Bruce Wayne.

The campy Batman feels ancient, it isn't where Batman is at, it worked at the time of Adam West Batman but since then a lot had changed.

When the movies where coming out the comics had matured a great deal with Frank Miller's stuff, A Death In The Family, The Killing Joke and Knightfall.
