Batman & Robin made Batman's most pitiful villain in Mr. Freeze a pun-uttering clown. Arnold Schwarzenegger is playing it heavy on camp here, which gives way to too much over the topness than the tragic potential of the background of Victor Fries, the man who should be desperate to save his wife and is not taking anything seriously-just his cool ice arsenal and his antics. The possibility of a darker, grounded story exploring his moral conflict and obsession was entirely wasted.
