i had blocked from my memory that val kilmer ever played batman

[fizzgig]

or that that particular batman movie had ever been made.

my gods, everyone is in this move. and it is bad.

1. And to think that dreck is one of the least of Joel Schumacher's sins

[fizzgig]

2. i haven't seen many of his movies

but i do love me some lost boys

[Tom Ripley]

3. So does Schumacher

[fujiyama]

18. Even worse, that wasn't even his worst Batman movie

God, Batman and Robin wins that. George Clooney joked that he "singlehandidly killed the franchise". I think George put the nail in the coffin (though Arnold, Chris ? as Robin, and Uma Thurman as Poisin Ivy all helped). Schumacher was the one responsible for destroying it (though I've enjoyed the resurrection by Chris Nolan).

4. What is so great about

Val Kilmer anyway? How does he even get work?

[fizzgig]

5. i thought he was pretty good in top secret

trying to remember the last time i saw him in anything

[bluesbassman]

6. Top Secret was pretty funny. Also good in Real Genius. n/t

[pipi_k]

10. I saw that when it first came out...

in the 70s

Laughed hysterically...especially at the cow costume.

I really liked "Thunderheart" too.

7. Val Kilmer's a terrific actor

Check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the movie that revived Robert Downey Jr.'s career and should have revived his.

[pipi_k]

11. I think so too

He was, IMO, terrific as Jim Morrison in The Doors movie

[Tom Ripley]

12. He is a fantastic actor, but his career just went off the rails

It's a shame

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. Best Doc Holliday EVER!!!

[fizzgig]

15. he was great in that movie

that's one of the movies i will watch every time i come across it on tv.

[Broken_Hero]

9. I once forgot

Val played Madmartigan in Willow....when that happened to me, I knew I was really starting to get old...I know my memory is bad, but forgetting Val was in Willow thats bad....

[fizzgig]

16. my dad took me to see that in the theater

need to get it on dvd

[GoCubsGo]

13. Ditto for the George Clooney Batman.

That was even worse. Why, George, why?

[fizzgig]

17. that movie was horrible

i can't believe i spent money to see it

[Baitball Blogger]

14. First, it's hard to believe that anything can block Val Kilmer, since

he put on a heck of a lot of weight.

Second, he ruined his own career. Look it up. He was considered a difficult actor. Very arrogant. But, yes, he is a good actor which is why they allow him to star in two rate movies.

It's sad, really, to watch.
