Hate, hate, HATED it when I first saw it.
Then when I overcame my anger and settled down (which took about a week or two), I went back and tried to like it for what it was: a movie so horrendously bad, that it was entertaining. Well, it worked. The terrible dialogue, the garish colors, the twenty different costumes for each character, bad casting, interestingly crap set pieces... I EAT IT UP LIKE CANDY NOW
I think part of my massive disappointment was due to me having not seen Batman Forever prior to B&R. The trailers were enough to turn me off of Forever, and I was still sore that Burton was excised from the project. The only thing Joel Schumacher was involved with that I had seen prior was Falling Down. What a contrast.
