The first Schumaker film is still pretty entertaining, it just doesn't take itself seriously. The best part of the whole thing is Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey not just chewing up the scenery, but actually swallowing and digesting it. Granted, that makes Billy Dee Williams not being in it even sadder (I mean imagine if /he/ got to go crazy with that role...), but it's still an entertaining, if campy, film. Batman and Robin is just bad. Whoever was playing Batman in it (George Clooney, right?) did a solid job, but that wasn't anywhere near enough to make up for the awful material, and this time around the villains, rather than saving it by being so off the wall crazy, were just bad.
