    Honestly, the casting for this movie was great, but the script was lacking. Imagine a more serious movie, with Arnold playing Freeze like the Terminator in T2. George Clooney didn't take the role seriously, but he was a great actor and could have made it work in a better movie.

    Always loved her in this movie and I’ve always loved this movie, partly because it feels like a live action cartoon. She gave it her all and I always felt like she was the best adaptation of any of the Burton/Schumacher villains. She seemed very much like what I imagined Poison Ivy to be like. It’s just too bad she wasn’t in a better Batman movie.

    I may have to disagree with the topic of her seductions. Whenever we look at her motivations and who she's seducing, it all plays into the greater scheme of the plan.
    Mister Freeze was as much muscle to her as Bane was, a former rival she saw as useful to her overall scheme. She originally assumed she could use him to further her goals, but learning about Nora made her realized his mind was set elsewhere. Instead of killing Nora off out of jealousy, she'd done it as a manipulation tactic to frame Batman and direct his rage at what she wants him to do.
    As for Robin, her scheme was all a ruse just to dispose of her main obstacles. She identified Batman and Robin as threats when she met Bruce Wayne in the observatory, and made sure to use her pheromones on them directly to keep them distracted and turned against each other. Even in the end, she had tried to kill Robin even when he'd seemed to turn to her side completely, so we know it wasn't motivated by love.
    Despite all this, I'm glad that you made this video to show appreciation towards Ivy in this movie, as this was kind of how I became such a fan of hers and of superheroes in general, so this movie means a lot to me, even if it's seen as the worst thing in the world.

    • @GamerSlyRatchet1
      @GamerSlyRatchet1 Місяць тому +1

      If Poison Ivy was manipulating Freeze for her own goals instead of genuinely falling for him, did her goals change from having plants take over the world to freezing all life on Earth? Because the former and latter counteract each other. I always felt either she changed her agenda to appease him or it was a writing mistake.

    • @stopstaringatmewtf7651
      @stopstaringatmewtf7651 Місяць тому +2

      @GamerSlyRatchet1 She'd explained in her plan that Freeze would be there to destroy the planet so her adaptable plants would regrow from the aftermath. Her nature as a deceiver could mean that she'll trash Freeze the moment he serves his purpose, or they'll be ruling two separate parts of the planet

    I was born in July of ‘95 so the Schumaker Batman movies were my introduction into live action Batman. With B&R being my favorite. I never really thought about how well Uma fit into the role, without compromising the characters motives and behavior, but you’re right. She’s natural in the role and I’d venture to say, the campy, over the top environment is perfect for a villain like ivy. Not to mention, she had baby me in love

    i hope in the future they would do another live action version of poison ivy. A comic book/serious/sexy version of her. More into her origin story. Im sure it can be done. I have to honestly say that when I was a kid I liked the poison ivy character in batman and robin. As a 40 year old adult I still do. I appreciate her sexual look more now. I appreciate her look like with cat woman from batman returns.

    I love Batman and Robin. It’s one of those so bad. It’s good kind of movies. But Batman and Robin serves an important purpose much like the Out Of West show did. It made such a joke out of the property and ran it so far into the ground that it had to be rebooted for the better. Without the at West Batman show, we would’ve never had the Tim Burton Batman movies. And without Batman and Robin, I’m sure we would have never had the dark Knight trilogy. Batman and Robin is a very important movie in Batman history. And if you can’t put that movie on and just have some fun for an hour and a half and laugh your ass off, then that’s just sad.

    I agree that she was one of the best parts of the movie. She is a great actress, and she knew that she was playing an over the top, campy role. Out of the whole cast, she seemed the most 'in on the joke' as far as playing it like one of the villains from Batman 66. Everyone else tried to play their roles a bit more straight.

  • @CyclopsWasRight616

    in my opinion, Uma's Ivy is the third best live action Batman portrayal, hands-down. I put Heath and Jack's Jokers as numbers one and two, and then most of the Alfreds. Arnold could have been a PERFECT Mr. Freeze if he'd played the role like the first Terminator movie's Terminator. And you could maybe redeem Bane if they said something about how he was only acting like that because of Ivy's powers, something like that.

    I do like Harley and Ivy, but I also agree with the comics there'd be zero way they'd be... comitted? (The obvious word here is monogamous, but that's *not* what I mean. You can be attached and not monogamous. Ivy is a born comet, as I remember the poly peeps calling it. She exists, and sometimes she's in your obit, and when she is it's a lot of fun, but then she flies off again and trying to stop her will only reduce her chances of intersecting in the future with you.) There's a fun lense of "aro but very much not ace" to view her under. Harley is her BFFWB not girlfriend; they are partners in crime, not romantic partners. Harley is Ivy's One Exception but only to a point; if anyone hurts Harley, Ivy will prune them, but she's just as likely to hurt Harley herself and feel very little remorse.
    It is only barely a step up from the Joker, for Harley, the only benefit IS the emotional distance and the sheer transparency. Apathetic neglect is easier to survive than malicious control, graded on a very steep curve obviously, and Ivy is nothing if not transparent. Considering her main play is biochemical manipulation, she's weirdly honest in a way the Joker could never be even to himself. "I made you immune to me, as a symbol of my affection" but that only allows Harley to leave, to argue, to say no. It says a lot.

IF Tommy Lee PLAYED THE PART MORE LIKE HIMSELF, THEN, would of brought a BETTER BALANCE. HERE, ARNOLD, BAD CHOICE, UMA, PERFECT. UMA plays her part as if it were GIFTED to her. Arnold is TOO SILLY. IMAGINE IF PATRICK STEWART instead were casted as freeze and ironically.... We would of had a CLOSE to PERFECT FILM.... 😑 and either Tommy Lee could have TONED IT DOWN as 2face people have stuck with his ORIGINAL actor....

    Her characterisation wasn't just "goofy" it was entirely disingenuous and lacked all verisimilitude.
    There is a *vast* difference between her portrayal and that of the Ivy in Batman tas or even Harley's show. They play it more natural.
    It's hard for me as an audience member to relate to her, care for her or understand where she's coming from if there's no humanity in her performance.

There’s not supposed to be nuance, you’re not supposed to relate to her see where she’s coming from or care for her. You’re supposed laugh watching her have a ball hamming it up, and being evil. Then ultimately enjoy watching her get her comeuppance at the end.

From a technical standpoint she does what she’s supposed to do in the film. Whether or not you find her acting campy entertaining is a matter of personal taste.

And considering your favorite voice for Batman comes from the series that actually showed her depth beyond just oh I hate people give me plants.. you are ignoring the fact that she does have a heart for more than just plants.
    These recent iterations of her put her with Harley because they were both very similar in how they viewed the world and their independence.
