Anyone care to comment on Batman's IMAX experience? I've seen the movie in the regular theatre, now I wanna see it in IMAX, is it worth it?

With all the positive buzz here I cannot see why this film didn't do better. I am starting to think that the DVDTalk forums are nor an accurate representation of American society.

Also, I totally disagree with the "Guess I'm not a big enough nerd," statement. It's one thing to not like the movie and give reasons, but to insult the people who did is another thing entirely. Honestly, I am starting to think there are more guys in this world who would rather get blowjob from Angelina Jolie than see a faithful Batman movie.

Id love to see it again. I saw it at the IMAX but our seats werent good. Its probably more worth it to go if you can get good middle seats at an IMAX.

I don't think it ever was.

:lol: What red-blooded, heterosexual male wouldn't? Especially with those lips.

I loved Batman Begins, but I'd take the Angelina Jolie bj over it

I've seen a few movies in an imax theater (but they were still 35mm) and I have to say sitting as far back as possible is the way to go in an imax theater.
middle works well for normal screens, but at least at the imax here middle is pushing it as far as being too close

I'm not even a fan of Jolie and I'd destroy every copy of Batman Begins in exchange for Dr. DVD's deal!!!

There was a little bit of sarcasm in my post. In all honesty, I don't think there is a single man who posts here who wouldn't want to be given oral by her.

Here's an obligatory pic, and to make it fit with the topic at hand, I want to throw her name out for the new Catwoman. ;) http://img.actressarchives.com/angel...296923_600.jpg

First dibs on that signature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Batman Begins Sets New IMAX Record
Source: IMAX Corporation


IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that "Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience" debuted with record breaking box office results and outstanding moviegoer response this past weekend. The digitally re-mastered IMAX release of Batman Begins set the record for IMAX's biggest five day opening, with estimated domestic grosses of $3.16 million, as well as the highest grossing opening day for a Hollywood simultaneous release, at approximately $754,000.

The film opened in 55 North American IMAX® theatres, registering an impressive per screen average of more than $57,500 over the five-day period from Wednesday, June 15 to Sunday, June 19. "Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience" also opened strong in several key international territories, with IMAX theatres in the UK, Mexico, The Netherlands and France reporting sold out shows, high occupancy rates and particularly strong results. The total box office grosses from the 16 international IMAX theatres that opened the film this weekend are estimated to be $487,000.

The two new AMC IMAX theatres located in Phoenix and Kansas City - which signed just six weeks ago and debuted with "Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience":

- sold out almost all of their showings during their opening weekend. The newest Cinepolis IMAX theatre, which opened in Guadalajara, Mexico timed to the release of the film, also debuted with numerous sell-outs and great consumer response. The bfi IMAX theatre in London was again the top performing international site in the IMAX theatre network, with opening weekend grosses of $109,000. The Pathe IMAX Theatre in Amsterdam, the Gaumont Disney Village IMAX theatre and the other Cinepolis IMAX theatres in Mexico City and Monterrey also reported impressive results.

"The strong opening weekend performance of 'Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience' is a testament to what a fantastic film this is, how ideally suited it is for IMAX's format, and the outstanding job Warner Bros. Pictures has done in promoting it," said IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "The strong word of mouth coming out of the first weekend leads us to believe this film will be a significant draw for the IMAX theatre network all summer. Just as 'The Polar Express' excited audiences in IMAX® 3D, we feel 'Batman Begins' in IMAX's format will bring in incremental 2D audiences eager to pay a premium price for The IMAX Experience®."






I RECOMMEND WATCHING THE FILM AT A IMAX THEATRE, EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE LIKING IT ON IT!!

Despite that, Nolan doesn't want you to know exactly what's going on, otherwise he would have pulled out.

I don't think logic or film analysis will settle this debate, people either liked the fights' style because it put them in the middle of the confusion (like a real fight would) or they didn't because they couldn't see what was happening.

As for the , they do say its , I know, its not much, but its something.

You know, I should start charging money for everytime one of my crazy statements gets turned into a sig!

Check's in the mail, brother. ;)

It is kinda weird but the kid said his friends would never believe him. Bats helped him out. Perhpas a Batarang woulda been better but it's not that bigga deal.

I tend to agree. I think Net folks like us are like people who call Radio Talk shows. We’re a very vocal opinionated minority of the population.

I agree that Pfieffer was the best villians in the Original series with Jim Carrey a close second. But I disagree with you on teh issue of learing about Bruce. Sure we found out Bruce's parents were killed and that was the reason for Batman. However in "Begins" we learned just how important The Waynes were to Gotham. They weren't just rich pricks sitting on a hill who got smoked in an alley, they were people trying to make a difference in Gotham and that calling is something that got passed on to Bruce and is nurtured by Alfred.


"Burton's darker, more violent and somewhat satirical tone?" I'm sorry but the only thing Burton did was make Gotham more Surreal. His movies were nowhere near the level of intensity of "Begins" in terms of violence and darkness. It is true that Burton did design Gotham to look like a city growing out of control, but the New Gotham of "Begins" is more realistic and less cartoony.



As I've said before the soundtrack for "Begins" was a welcome "mature" take on the Legend of Batman. It fit the movie like glove.

Although i enjoyed the soundtrack for Batman Begins and felt that it fit in perfectly, the lack of a memorable theme of recent superhero films is a bit dissapointing. I don't think i could hum any tune from Begins :p

Who the hell would past up a BJ from Anelina Jolie :drool: ?????

Holmes Dropped from 'Batman' Sequel

Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have signed to star in a second Batman movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped. Movie bosses are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins - it took $46.9 million in its first weekend at the US box office - and have snapped up the film's stars for a sequel. Bale as Batman was the first to put pen to paper, followed by Caine as butler Alfred and Freeman as Bruce Wayne's business associate Lucius Fox. But Holmes won't reprise her role as district attorney Rachel Dawes - reportedly because Warner Bros is angry her engagement to Tom Cruise has stolen media attention away from the movie.

[IMDB.com]

So they claim WB is disappointed that the movie didn't do as well because they thought people wanted to stay home and watch the news about her engagement??? I guess that's the nice way of saying the audiences, as a whole, didn't care for her.

added, I suppose:

I thought the way she was acting was fine, and reminded me of Kirsten in Spider-man. She was just too young in the face compared to everyone else. I just hope Cillian's back.

The Japan side is really empty and the people coming to see them are so little.I saw it yesterday with a friend and she is seeing Batman for the first time on the theater.She really loved it a lot.I just did not like the camera work on the fight scenes.Other than that it's a perfect movie for me

YES!!!!! Now it just needs Nolan...and Oldman.

eh, I wont miss her much.

Hahahaha, a quote from a Warner spokesperson:

"She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress."

:lol:

-JP

She didn't bother me at all. To be honest, I've never really cared about Batman's love interests going back to the '89 film. I don't need that to enjoy the movie. With that said, since Rhas Al Ghul has been brought to the screen it's too bad his daughter <b>Talia</b> isn't being considered. Next to the sexual tension between Catwoman and Bats, Talia and Bats is one of the most interesting relationships Batman has been presented with. Those familiar with the relationship know why....

I also wouldn't have a problem with Cillian coming back in the next film. I think it worked well when Magneto came back in X2.
