Movie Review
This film flies at you with “blockbuster” written all over it, from the second the Warner Bros. logo mutates into that ubiquitious bat-shape (the mere sight of which, at the screening I attended, provoked a flurry of cheers, fists in the air, and, inexplicably, a cry of “Go, girl!”-before the credits had even started) and the roller coaster ride begins. It’s an apt metaphor, for Batman Forever careens from one high to the next, builds the suspense with occasional lows, progresses to an epic climax, and remembers to leave room for a sigh of relief at the end.
