A double dose of thoughts, insights and observations at seeing Batman Forever on the big screen

Well, I managed to get out and see Batman Forever at the cinema and it was absolutely brilliant. I always get a little bit of trepidation rewatching the film in case my feelings have shifted but I'm pleased to say it played as well now as it did back in 1995 when I was 11.

It's such a different experience seeing it at the cinema. The surround sound really amplified the Goldenthal score and the clarity and size of the screen meant you could take in all the details and colour.

I've rounded up some of my thoughts in the video below.

But wait, there's more! I've recently struck up a friendship and found myself with a new partner. I'll let him introduce himself...

Hope you enjoyed these videos. If you managed to catch it at one of these one-off revival screenings or just have some cool memories from back in the day, let us know in the comments either here or on the YouTube videos.

News: Batman Forever is back on the big screen in the UK this weekend

To celebrate this year being the 85th anniversary of Batman, Cineworld and Vue cinemas are showing 7 Batman movies.

Most important to readers of this blog, Batman Forever will be back on the big screen for one night only.

Details for Vue cinemas (Friday 6th September) here

Details for Cineworld (Saturday 7th September) here

If you do go, please post something on social media and use the hashtag #ReleaseTheSchumacherCut

It will be great if Warner Brothers can see what demand there is for an extended cut of this movie.

External link: Batman Forever - UK edits

Living in the UK, the version of Batman Forever I saw in the cinema was actually cut - quite significantly during Nygma's murder of Fred Stickley. It was only when I caught a bit of the film on TV in France that I realised some bits were missing.

Thankfully the Blu-Ray release in 2008 waived all the cuts and allowed UK fans to see the uncut version of the film. Here's a very thorough video detailing all the original cuts.
