This 4th film in the series starts off well with the usual creation of a villan and regular fight scenes. This time around Batman ( now taken over by George Clooney) and his new partner ( Still played by Chris O'Donnel) face Dr.Freeze ( Arnold Schwarzenegger) as he tries to encapsulate Gotham city in ice. The character of Poison Ivy is played well by Uma Thurman and provides a nice break from the usual gung ho maniacs and their goons.
Batman & Robin displays most of the characteristics of any 'Action' film made in the last decade. It has more fighting and explosions than it does plot and seems to be focused on keeping the heart racing rarther than challenging the mind ( not that that's always a bad thing)
All in all a pleasing film to watch making a good addition to the series , excepting the introduction of 'Batgirl' at the end.
