Which is worse: TMNT III or Batman and Robin

[ObiWanFan4life]

Both movies are almost universally panned by critics and fans alike but which was the more painful film to watch? You decide

[rufus]

Batman & Robin.

Oh man that's a tough one, I'm actually going to go with TMNT III. I can't find much of anything in that movie entertaining or enjoyable, its so bad. It's supposed to be set in the same continuity as the first movie & yet being so far off in tone & execution.

Batman & Robin is pretty awful (not as awful as Catwoman in my opinion) but at least I find all of Arnold's lines as Mr. Freeze to be pretty entertaining and funny (even if they aren't intended to be). It's terrible movie but at least it makes me laugh and I get some cheap mindless entertainment out of a few parts of the movie, where as TMNT III has no such moments in my opinion.

Batman and Robin. TMNT III is a fun time travel story.

I feel you buddy.At the very least Batman and Robin was in so bad it's good territory and that Joel Schumacher APOLOGIZED for it, Tmnt III was just tedious, unfunny and borderline painful to watch.

[ObiWanFan4life]

That and the fact that i cannot stand the nipples on tha batsuit. Seriously?

[Nameless]

so I think i'm one of the few people who loves TMNT 3. I think its because its the only turtle movie i had growing up. That said my obvious choice is Batman and Robin is Worse.

I might have to watch them again to decide. TMNTIII had serviceable martial arts action; B&R's choreography was so awful that a picture book adaptation rewrote it and wound up more entertaining. On the other hand, TMNTIII's humor was just annoying all the way through, while B&R's was stupid, but had a fun cheese factor. Arnold was obviously having a blast with it. My other huge problem with the movie is how it reduces Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy, who were complex villains, down to one-note mustache-twirlers. Yet after I know what to expect from it, B&R is more watchable--probably. Again, I'll need to recheck.

I can always go back and watch the third Ninja Turtles movie because it brings back a lot of fond memories, but I can't for the life of me stand to watch Batman and Robin, no matter how cute I thought Alicia Silverstone was as Batgirl.

How? in what sense of the word

I honestly don't know how to answer this question. It's like asking me if I'd rather eat dog **** or cat ****. In the end, I'm still eating ****.

It's really hard to choose because both films completely went off course from the dark tone that the first installments established and became much more light-hearted and kid friendly. Instead, they just burned the bridges of ever continuing on as movie series. As there were so many things wrong with those movies, the most popular single things in partiulcar are the Turtle animatronics and the Bat Credit Card. But my own issues were that Batgirl didn't even have a cowl and that a TMNT movie set in Feudal Japan would make more sense to focus on Leonardo.

Im gonna have to go with Batman and Robin. The only way I can make it through that is by watching the Rifftrax version of the film. I can still make it through the whole TMNT III, I think. On that note...

Dear Mike, Bill, and Kevin,
PLEEEEEASE riff TMNT III!

Pretty much this.

Although, I think Batman & Robin got slightly more "so bad it is entertaining" vibe

[Powder]

I love TMNT 3. Never seen B&R as I'm not really a Batman fan.

[Teddy]

Aww, I actually kinda liked Batman and Robin.

So yeah, for me Turtles III is by far the worst of the two. It's just painful to watch. At least B&R has some entertainment value.

[Bossa Nova]

I actually like both films, so I can't really decide which is "worse" since I don't personally find either of them as deplorable as other people seem to. I guess if I had to choose I would pick Batman and Robin, but that's just because I'm way more of a TMNT fan than a Batman fan, but even so it's not like I hate it or anything. They're both cheesy, they both kind of miss the mark, but I get the feeling that neither film is really taking itself all too seriously to begin with anyway which is why it works.

[Wildcat]

TMNT 3.

Im in a huge minority but I enjoyed B&R and Forever was my favorite of the 89-90s Batmans.

I really dont like 89 or Returns. Theyre meant to be serious but alot of stupid stuff happens. Joker shoots down the Bat Wing with a hand gun, Bat suit is bulletproof in the first but Catwoman claws through it, Batmobile's armor was so easily breached.

B&R at least knew it was nothing but over the top action and special effects and thats what it was. Nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't trying to be clever. At least thats how it comes off.

[liugeaux]

Batman and Robin by a long shot. Not only did it put the Batman movie franchise on the shelf for almost a decade, it also hampered the development of all other comic book movies. Batman and Robin was so bad it nearly broke Hollywood. Had Blade not come out the very next year, the landscape of comics in movies would be very different.

TMNT 3 was just lazy and boring.
