Batman Begins Anyone else addicted to this movie?

[Spider-Bat]

I find myslef watching it at least once everyday or every other day. I did that when I first got the DVD and find myself doing it again. I know I'm hyped for TDK and that is part of it another reason is that for a while I started nitpicking at BB but then opened my eyes and saw what they truly did and saw it in a new way and loved it for more reasons, even more than I ever did before.

This is more like the comics, and some things may be a little different but the changes in these movies are nothing compared to the previous films. Sure Burton's films were good but even he says now that he likes these more 'cause they are more like what they've done in the books.

I find myslef watching it at least once everyday or every other day.

WOW, I'm not quite to that point...more like once every few weeks. More in the last year, and when the Blu-Ray version comes out, I'll probably watch it a few times up to 7/18. It's my favorite film, and it really never gets old. I can't wait to see TDK take it to the next level.

 

[El Payaso]

I never could get attracted to watch BB now and then. I have barely seen it like 14 times throughout 3 years. I hated the action amongst other things so I woulnd't be enjoying what I'd be waiting the most for.

 

[BatMatt]

I did within a year of release, now I'm waiting for the Blu-Ray edition before I watch again

 

[Two-Face]

I see it once a month.

 

[El Payaso]

I see it once a month.

I just thought of a joke I won't tell. t:

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

I used to see it once a month, but ever since I've been on birth control, it's been a bit unpredictable.

 

[Two-Face]

I just thought of a joke I won't tell. t:

Oh say it then....

 

[DarkKnight245]

I've watched it both times it was on FX.

 

[Pseudobulbar]

I throw it on probably once every few weeks if I have time and there isn't anything better on. But before that- hardly at all- it's just because I am so hyped for TDK.

 

[Pseudobulbar]

Oh yeah and my wife already thinks I am a huge nerd for being so into it, so I have to limit my viewings a little bit...probably a healthy thing to do.

 

[The Shadow]

I don't watch it that much not really a big fan of the ninjas or the new batmobile. They don't stay true to the comics.

 

[Nathan Petrelli]

yeah I have been watching it around the same too, not just because I'm a big Batman fanboy, but Christian Bale is my favourite actor and everything he does is a master piece

I finally came across Batman 89 on DVD last week and I have watched it everynight so far, the only part I don't like is where Joker goes "Gotham City... It alway's puts a smile on my face", you can tell Nicholson didn't really want to say that line, very lame. And LOL @ the Prince music

 

[The Joker]

I'm not addicted, but I certainly enjoy it every time I watch it.

I rewatched it yesterday, and the only part I find a bit of a chore to watch is Bruce's training with Ra's.

 

[gqxsensazn]

When it first came out on DVD, it was the only thing I watched for months. Then after a while, I would just watch it once in a while whenever I felt like it. I think I've watched it to a point where I got tired of it. Once July hits though, I'll watch it at least one more time before heading out to watch TDK.

 

[Sam18]

Last summer I watched it almost every night. Not the whole movie but most of it.

 

[OctaviusINC]

I feel the less I see it the more I like it....

 

[Ammo]

I agree with that part. While it's necessary to tell the origin and I don't see how they could make it move quicker, it just feels too long before we see any actual "Batman."

Hopefully this problem doesn't occur in TDK because Bats has already begun.

I was at BestBuy today and I saw the Tumbler chase on a glorious new Samsung 7 series HDTV with 120 hz Automotion plus technology and it looked AMAZING!

Just finished watching this puppy for the 16th time I think, roughly (last time I thought about it I was at 15 so...).

This movie is great, I love so many little things especially compared to other movies in the genre, some of which I will touch on in this mashup of thoughts:

- 40 minutes of origin story: I heard people complaining about this but honestly, it builds so much interest in the main character (duh) and isn't just a throwaway mention of why he's doing what he does. Iron Man built up Tony Stark pretty well, I'll give them credit. I enjoyed Spiderman 1's build up as well. Finally a Batman movie where you CARE and know about Bruce Wayne's backstory.

- Great casting: Liam Neeson switched for Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, and Katie Holmes traded for Maggie Gyllenhall should make for equal, if not stronger, casting in the sequel. Proper use of talent too, compared to Batman Forever (looking in TLJ's direction).

- Batman IS vulnerable: Sure he's trained. Sure he's extra clever in training. And yes, he's capable of besting Flass (and taking out Falcone and his thugs). When he returns to Gotham though, he's working out the kinks while sneaking up on Gordon (Spidey did, Iron Man did, etc.), but then the first time he's up against an ACTUAL villain (Scarecrow) he... gets lit on fire and severely drugged?! I always liked this because it immediately showed from the get-go he wasn't invincible and had to figure out a few things to how to effectively fight crime. Even with Ra's al Ghul, Bruce got outsmarted in training and was always one step behind until the very end.

- Villains: The way the villains were actually feared and thing's weren't so predictable (as mentioned above). I've always liked this and hope TDK continues this trend with The Joker.

- The ending: Always gives me goosebumps, especially now that we're less than a month away.

Honestly, the ONLY problem I have with this movie, is when they're raising the bridges and there's one SWAT guy who gives a really lame and awkward point at Rachel and the kid. It's just embarassing. However, a two-second scene will not be enough to bring this movie down haha.

And now we wait.

yeah I have been watching it around the same too, not just because I'm a big Batman fanboy, but Christian Bale is my favourite actor and everything he does is a master piece

I grew up loving Batman 1989, but even as a kid it bugged me that Joker killed the Waynes. I knew it wasn't right and justseemed stupid to try and wrap it all together. And I used to nitpick at BB but then grew to love it, Well I loved it at first then nitpicked then opened my eyes and saw how great it is.

I still have respect for Batman and Returns but the new films are so much better, even though I haven't seen TDK yet I can easily tell it'll be as good.

The new movies give BATMAN the respect he deserves, they're epic. And instead of drastically changing characters like Penguin into a freak they just rearange things a bit. Instead of meeting Ra's later in his career, now for the story he meets him early on, which is fine. and they finally got Joe Chill as the killer, even though some comics said he was never caught, some did, it's just a collection put together of some of the best Batman stuff from the early comics to the 70's.

It's an amalgam, it's good. That's why I hate when people, some, nit pick about little thinga like how to pronounce Ra's' name, big deal, just be grateful Batman made it back to the movies and so well done and it's not another Batman and Robin. Batman's the main focus now too instead of the movies just being about the villian.

These truly are faithful and are the comics brought to life.

i havent watched BB in many months but i want to wait until a day or two before TDK comes out to watch BB so when i watch it i'll be even more amazing and i'll be even more pumped to watch TDK

 

[Symbiotic]

Addicted? Nah, I don't think so. But I will say that when I do watch it, it never gets old.

 

[Nightwing1977]

Addicted? Nah, I don't think so. But I will say that when I do watch it, it never gets old.

Same here. I don't watch it everday, 'cause then it would get boring & I would hate it. Sometime it best to not watch a movie you love 24/7. Trust me.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I am addicted to it actually.

Seriously, I've seen this movie around 200 times....maybe more.

There was a good while when I would watch it around 3 or 4 times a day.

And I've grown to love it more. I find myself watching the second half more often than the first half too, nowadays. Pretty cool to see how much of Batman there is. I remember the rumor before the movie came out that Batman would only have like 10 minutes onscreen.

Alot more than, clearly.
