The reason i don't go to thethers is because movie time to me means relaxing time. There's way better things to do than going to theathers. But it does suck to wait like i do. I'll probably give in and watch it this weekend and if i don't think is that great (like batman begins wich i thought it draged too much. it was too slow therefore it sucked) i'm going to hunt you all down and make you watch crappy movies all day buahahahaha. By the way last movie i watched in theares wa spiderman 3 in i max and the movie was awesome but the imax sucked. i tought they were suposed to big bigger screen than usual but it wasn't. oh well

Okay, i couldn't stand it any longer and had to satisfy my curiosity. After all, they say that curiosity killed the cat

and

Satisfaction brought it back.

I went to see it in a packed theater, ended up in the third row back with my neck craned at an unhealthy angle, and enjoyed the hell out of myself. (minus the neck ache later :) mind you)

I will buy this when it comes out. Great movie.

Awww man, that blows. I refuse to watch a movie sitting in those seats. If I walk into a theater and everything looks full but the seats up front, I just walk out.

GM, I would never lead you down the wrong path - I promise!

Not bad.. not bad indeed.. my rip is very dark, as usual, but there is still too much epilepsy causing cgi for my liking. I don't go to the cinema ever.. it's a horrible experience in Wigan.. expensive, long journey on a bus full of scumbag council estate brats with a walk around one of the more dangerous parts of town afterwards. Not the recipe for a good evening...

Story wise.. haven't we been here before? and as for performances.. Adam West is and always will be Batman for me ;)
bbc4 7.35 Batman's Anniversary - Part One Part one of two. The caped crusaders receive an emergency call from Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara.. damn.. theres a surprise.

Adam West, the mayor of Quahog? ;)





So I take it some of you didn't like it because it was just like the one with Keaton and Nicholson?

Typically, i'm the same way. In this case, the theater is half an hour from my house, and i was laden with overpriced theater food and beverages.

I stuck it out. :)

Something like that.. I didn't say I disliked it, just maybe given the budget they could have dug up a new script.....

Right on, you still need to make your way to the Alamo Drafthouse. Or start a petition in your town to get one there. No more over priced theater food! Take a look and the food and drink menu.

Fred...

Go see it if you can!! My wife and I went last week and it was great!! They had the sound turned WAY up and the theater was shaking!!! Good acting and NOT like the normal Batman movies... There was some actual plot to the movie and the villain played in the movie, JOKER, wasn't the normal Batman villain. He was VERY dark and you just wanted to kill him throughout the entire movie. lol. Get it when you can... :D

Hi there Mr. Greenman, I really wish I could, I miss going to the theaters big time, I don't go any more for several reasons, two main reasons my hearing, and the other the so often inconsiderable d%3k heads who have no regard for other people, yacking, cell phones and so on, the last movie both myself and my wife saw was Dancing with Wolves, it was one of those evenings that we kinda had enough, both her and I almost got locked up, that was it for us, especially her.

I do have to admit I did go see King Kong with my nieghbor, we went during the day with hardly anybody there, it was great to see the big screen again, but damn it I missed half the dialog, yeah losing your hearing kinda sucks, but I still enjoyed it.

And last I'll tell ya the last time I went I really did enjoy, I went by myself at around the same time early, I saw APOCALYPTO, it was subtitled of course, I was in movie heaven again, I really miss going to theaters, I dont know your age greenman, but there was a time when you didn't hear a peep out of anybody, if you got just a little out of hand you were corrected by everybody around you.

Going to the movies today isn't cheap any more, your excited to see a great movie, pay a high price which I would not mind if you were surrounded by good people and not a bunch of d%#k heads, something I can never understand, why people go pay and see a movie to yak threw it.

If it wasnt for my hearing problem I would still go and see this movie regardless of a-holes or not, I really like Christian Bale, ever since Empire of the Sun I knew this kid was special, I think he's a better Batman from all of them, I liked Ledger also, what a waste, and I love Morgan Freeman, one of my all time 10 favorite actors, I love a good movie, and all you guys rate this movie highly, so yes I cant wait, like my kids use to say, I'm cited.
