This is a solid one, once again it's a duo episode, this time it's with the critic called The Last Angry Geek. On a side note really liked that RiffTrax with Doug and the rest of the crew that was a solid one, so if you're a fan of both RiffTrax and the Nolstalgia Critic it's one to check out.
Yeah, I've seen the Batman Forever film, even as a kid seeing the trailer for it, I knew something didn't feel right. I didn't hate the film when I first saw it, but I really didn't enjoy it that much, something felt off. And as time went on this sequel really hasn't aged very well, I understand they were trying to go a different direction, but it wasn't the right one, it's not as bad as "Batman and Robin" it's just average.
Actually, I wouldn't call it a sequel as it feel more like it's own cannon which I think was the true intention. I think the biggest problem with the film is how uneven it is in tone, as if the film can't decide if it wants to be lighthearted or serious.
The skit from the beginning and end was kind of funny we see a couple of the Nostalgia Critic crew involved with Malcolm in make up as a Two Face impersonator and Tamara as a Nicole Kidman impersonator, though the real good thing about this skit is seeing both Doug and Last Angry Geek are in conflict with the John as the Joel Shumaker impersonator whom is clearly trying to con them by playing the forgivable manner ploy; man it's just sad that Joel directing rep never really recovered after well you know what movie. Even ends on a cliffhanger note which is a little strange, I won't say what it is you just must find out yourself.
Really like how both Last Angry Geek and Doug just take their jabs on this film. From keeping tabs on the amount of slow mo moments in the film which really are frequent and even certain other moments. Even like one moment where there is a slight comparison to both Michael Bay and Shoemaker, yeah not a fan of him also.
Two moments I really like are when the Last Angry Geek keep pointing out the new gizmo Edward Nigma/The Ridler keeps bringing out is a cone but keeps being advertised as a box which really makes no fraking sense, would it of killed the writers to make one small easy edit.
One other moment that was funny was the scene with the sliding entrance to the Bat Cave, which I guess makes sense as Bruce has to enter the Bat Cave and become Batman at certain times. But it's funny how both pointed out the little flaw to that form of entrance, when we see Doug put that to practice.
Even like what they say on the scene where Dick/Robin jacks the Batmoble which could of easily of been a dead giveaway which is something both critics humorously point out, when you think about it a third and fourth grader could make the connections.
Overall, not one of my favorite duo critic episode but it's still one unlike this film gains altitude for fun.
