Val Kilmer plays Batman in this silly installment of the 80s-90s Batman franchise. While the film has many flaws and a good number of the performances are questionable at best, Val Kilmer is my favorite Batman. The writing is absolutely atrocious, and the film is laden with too many gadgets, but the camera-work and lighting are very stylish and well-executed. The art direction is really fantastic. Some of the special effects have dated poorly, but a good majority of the animated or miniature effects still look good. The film is still pretty entertaining if you can stand the embarrassing performance from Jim Carrey and to a lesser extent Tommy Lee Jones. One major disappointment was saving the best song (Kiss From a Rose) for the butt-end of the credits.
5/10. The film is highly entertaining, but there are just too many cringe-worthy moments for me to justify giving it anything higher.
