besides shaft, are any Blaxploitation films good?
No.

i haven't seen that one, so why was it so bad?
Awful, painful acting, and you just knew before the movie even started that Benny Button was going to be abandoned and raised by black people. Way too predictable. Also, Cate Blanchett looked like a corpse. Cate Blanchett was not hot at all and was too old for her role.
It was like they basically tried to redo Forrest Gump but the entire plot was just absolute hack and was just totally forced out for almost 4 hours. They tried way too hard as well to make it sappy and sentimental.

i've seen that one, yes it was horrible. bad comic book adaptations and nicholas cage are bad enough on their own, but why put them together???! !!
I went to see it in theaters on leave from Iraq and was pissed that I wasted a whole evening on this nonsense. I about fell asleep when his head turned into a skull(I think that happened,) Anyway, it was rubbish.

to avoid further confusion it is called "batman and robin". "batman" was a different movie released in 1989. sorry, but that's a special interest of mine
I'm not much of a Batman fan, but my dad is, so consequently I've seen every batman thing ever made, but it doesn't do anything for me though. I don't much care for comic books or superheros. The Batman and Robin sticks out in my head as the worst one though. The funniest/worst part about Batman and Robin was when Bain apparently was able to get on a commerical flight despite being "Bain," and he was only disguised by a fedora hat and a trench coat. Not much effort was invested in that particular movie. Ditto for the Batman with Val Kilmer, but that wasn't as bad as Batman and Robin.

Troy
Interesting:
I thought Troy was just OK........
It was obvious though that in the early 2000's, the studios were desperate to recapture the success of Gladiator by producing Alexander, Troy, Tristian and Isolde, King Arthur, and Beowulf, and a few others, but really, none of these afterthought follow-up historical epics were any good. Gladiator was just kidnd of one-time lightning in a bottle but Gladiator was only kind of a flash in the pan. They kept trying hard to pull another smash hit out of the Ancient and Early-Medieval era but it just wasn't going to happen.
