Batman Forever: Red Book Edition

as with any fanedit that incorporates deleted or unfinished scenes, some of the quality does suffer a bit. however, as this is unavoidable i don’t really include that in a rating unless it is unnecessarily added.

i can happily say that this is a great fanedit and a 4/5 from me. i really enjoyed the excised silliness and unnecessary elements and what was added helps a great deal. the image overall DID seem degraded and was a bit distracting.

4/5

Took me a long time to slowly download the RAR files, and when it came down to playing the DVD… Totally worth it! I especially love the colours and contrast that gives it an almost noir look. From the bits you put it to the bits you chopped out, this was a fantastic improvement to a big-budget blockbuster! ***** Five Stars!
The only problem is, to legally keep this version, I can’t throw the original (which I won’t watch voluntarily again) in the garbage!

A huge improvement over the original. This one kept my interest throughout, the humor didn’t feel forced, and it was much darker. Bravo on a job well-done! I was surprised to find Jim Carrey’s performance improved in this one. I only wish something could be done about Tommy Lee Jones. Usually an actor I really like but he was so miscast in this it isn’t funny.

For the first time, I can actually say I like Kilmer as Batman, and I don’t find Robin annoying and he comes off much more sympathetic.

For making this watchable, and making me *like* Batman Forever (which up until now, I didn’t) a 5 out of 5
