Batman Forever | 1995 | PG-13 | - 2.5.2
Val Kilmer is Batman and Chris O'Donnell is his sidekick Robin in the third "Batman" film. The enemies are Harvey Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) and The Riddler (Jim Carrey).
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A handful of passionate kisses. A man is shown bare-chested, and a woman is shown in bed -- and then out of bed with sheets wrapped around her. Two women wear clinging, suggestive clothing, exposing cleavage. A man grabs his crotch to punctuate an explosion. Several sexual references and innuendoes.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - The only "gross" parts are Two-Face's make-up job (garish, with wrinkles and creases) and another character's face which seems to melt, causing his face to be off-kilter. A bit of blood from a bullet wound. There are many explosions: several bombs are thrown into water and into the air. A helicopter flies into the Statue of Liberty where it explodes. Many punch up scenes with people being tossed around and punched and kicked; guns are also used. A man is electrocuted. A man is pushed out of a window to his death, and several other people fall from a building. A couple of hostage and robbery situations.
LANGUAGE 2 - A couple of mild obscenities, some sexual references and an anatomical gesture.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Revenge, falling in love, psychiatry, multiple personalities disorder, using technology for evil.
MESSAGE - Revenge isn't always the answer; friendship and love are the most important things in life.
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.
