"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Batman and Robin | 1997 | PG-13 | - 2.5.3
The caped crusader is back battling villains Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze. George Clooney puts on the spandex this time out. Also with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris O'Donnell, Uma Thurman and Alicia Silverstone.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Scantily clad women. Kissing, sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Venom is squirted into a man's skull as he twitches and convulses; his body bulks up and veins pop out. A man's tongue swells and turns black as he dies. Screams from the background as people die during experiments. A couple of corpses with black mouths and engorged veins. Many fight scenes with no blood but with kicking, punching, twirling and people being thrown around and hit with objects. A scene with people being shot at. A man is choked. A man is thrown many feet into a glass case, another man is thrown and falls with an audible thud. A man is kicked in the face. Many people are frozen. A person is attacked by plants. A man shrinks to death. An explosion. Threatening with guns and chases. Reckless motorcycle riding.
LANGUAGE 3 - Some mild obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Family, trust, battling evil, heroism.
MESSAGE - Good always wins. Family above all.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
