Batman & Robin

Description

Batman & Robin is a 1997 American superhero film based on the DC Comics characters Batman and Robin, and the fourth and final installment in the original Batman film series. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and written by Akiva Goldsman, with George Clooney playing Batman, Chris O'Donnell as Robin, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the main villain, Mr. Freeze. Uma Thurman portrays the character Poison Ivy, while Alicia Silverstone plays Batgirl.

The plot centers around Batman and Robin as they team up with Batgirl to stop Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy from wreaking havoc on Gotham City. Meanwhile, they also deal with the emotional struggles of their relationships with each other and their personal lives. The film was heavily criticized for its over-the-top campiness, which was a departure from the darker tone of the previous two films, as well as the poor script, acting, and direction.

Batman & Robin was a commercial disappointment and was widely panned by critics. The film's negative reception led to the cancellation of a proposed sequel and ultimately resulted in the franchise being rebooted in the 2000s with Christopher Nolan's critically acclaimed Batman Begins. Despite its poor reputation, the film has gained a cult following for its unintentional humor and campy charm.

Gulliver's Travels

Action & Adventure
Irish author Jonathan Swift first published Gulliver's Travels in 1726, and it became an immediate sensation. Since then, Gulliver's Travels never has gone out-of-print, and its twenty-first century sales remain nearly as robust as they were in the sixteenth. Universally acknowledged as a classic of British literature, Swift's wonderwork scathingly satirizes human nature and parodies "travellers' tales." Not surprising, then, Hollywood has attempted to bring Gulliver's story to life on film in every decade since the medium was invented. Typically, the special effects have failed to keep pace with Swift's imagination. In the story's latest reprise, a slightly modernized version, the special effects are up to the challenge, but the question emerges, "Is Jack Black up to it?" Black has disappointed fans with his last couple of ventures, but critics say he looks "at ease" as he goes for "big" laughs in the land of the Lilliputians. The producers and director have built-in a few features to give Black a healthy bounce: Updating the story, they show Gulliver as a contemporary mailroom guy who finally catches a break, winning a travel-writing assignment in the Bermuda Triangle. 3D has gotta help the contrast between big Gulliver and little Lilliputians, and an all-star supporting cast is expected to bring out the best of Black's comic gifts.
