Would you see 'Dark Knight' a second time?

Jul 22, 2008, 10:57 AM | by Annie Barrett

Categories: 'The Dark Knight', Film

Darkknight_bale_l According to a Fandango.com poll conducted this weekend, 64 percent of people who saw The Dark Knight would see it again in the theater, making it even more impossible for the rest of us to see it just once. THANKS A LOT.

The movie I saw the most in a theater was American Beauty. I was a freshman in college and terrified that I wouldn't make any friends, so I just kept saying yes to new people who wanted to go. (Um, there was a Ground Round right next to the theater and we inexplicably went there, too.) I think I saw it four times, maybe seven. Since 1999, I've spoken to those movie companions zero times, yet almost always watch part or all of American Beauty when it's on HBO even though I'm sick of it by now. Priorities, I guess. You know what those dorm mates would say to me today? "It's okay, Annie. I wouldn't remember me either." JK people!

Anyhow, back to the subject at hand: Would you go to see The Dark Knight again, already? And which other movies have you repeat-theater'ed? (Oh, and if you haven't read Benjamin Svetkey's recent EW feature on the current box-office champ, by all means click here.)

I've seen it 5 times now and it gets better every time I see it. Heath Ledger did an OUTSTANDING job as the Joker! It's too bad that this movie was the first and last movie he will do as that character. Cillian Murphy was funny just by saying "not MY diagnosis" and Hans Zimmer's score is superb!

Tarra Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 04:24 PM EST

Yeah so I've seen it three times now, once a week scince the week it came out. And one included being front row for IMAX at mid-night cause we got there late.

Navi Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 10:26 AM EST

I've seen it 6 times, going on 7 tonight. I love how they've tied Arkham Asylum into the recent movies, and although I'm more into the comics than the movies, seeing the Joker is like personality therapy for me, so I anticipate more showings for me in the future. =]

Ang Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 11:09 PM EST

Awesome movie, but once is enough for me. i'll save my money for the 3rd batman

O'Rion Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 04:20 AM EST

Wow, I am amazed at how many people love this movie. I thought there were so many things wrong with it that I wish I had not even seen it the first time (plot holes, scenes talked about but not shown, Batman's voice, stupid reasons for having Batman's sonar, horrible half built building fight scenes with SWAT and henchman and hostages, etc.). I would definitely not see this movie again.

DALTON Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 09:53 PM EST

IHAVE TO WOTCHIT 1 BE FOR I SAY ENYTHANG

Leo Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 12:26 AM EST

I NEVER watch movies multiple times in the theatres. In fact I usually wait till they hit the dollar theatre or Redbox to even watch movies I'm excited about. I can't think of any that I paid full price to see more than once. The Dark Knight was one of the few that I paid full price to see, and I WILL DEFINENTLY WATCH IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES IN THE THEATRES!!!!!!!!!!!!

nia Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 11:03 PM EST

I would absolutely see the Dark Knight again, and have already caught it twice. One of the first things I did after seeing it the first time was ask when my friends would be going again... then checked who else I knew that hadnt seen it yet, and promptly dragged them to the Imax within a few days. The only other movie I had seen twice in theatres was Transformers, and somewhat reluctantly since there wasnt as much substance to soak in and enjoy. This was an entirely different experience, the Dark Knight was thoroughly exhilarating, inspiring, and a tribute to the hard work and vision of the artists both in front of and behind the cameras. I would see it 5 times or more if I could haul enough people out there with me. Each aspect of the film, from performances to script to sound design .. the list just goes on... they were all so well executed that they require multiple viewings to really appreciate. TDK like a symphony in movie format ... and it was incredible.

Tara Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 10:04 PM EST

HELL YEAH!!!! Me and my brother were still inching our way down the steps to get out of the theater when we saw it on opening day and I was already telling him I wanted to see it again.

Carlos Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 09:07 PM EST

I seen it 4 times already (1 time in IMAX, the other times in regular theatres) I am gonna see it an ADDITIONAL time tonight...this will be my fifth. The movie is like a roller coaster.

Kim Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 01:50 PM EST

i LOVE this movie!! i have seen it 4 times now, and i want to keep goin to the theater. this was definitely the best batman movie i have seen in a long time. and i think it would be really cool if heath ledger gets an oscar for playing the joker.

wiener Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 12:32 AM EST

i loved it, its probably the best movie iv seen
its amazing
ill defnitely see it again
rip heath ledger ill never forget you

Michael Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 02:41 PM EST

I would definately go see the Dark Knight a second time. I did see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone... 4 times i think in theaters. Counting a drive-in. That's the most time's 've ever seen a movie (in theaters) before.

Jeffrey Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 08:41 AM EST

Ben: if you're still on here sometime, have you ever read "Dracula"? If not, do so. It'll seriously change your opinion of Francis Ford Coppola's hack-job movie.

Jeffrey Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 08:36 AM EST

To a: re Buckaroo Bonzai, I'm sure something else, ah, smokey, was involved? Just remembered that I saw "Seven" six times in the theatre. I wanted to see it seven times, with seven different people, but by the time I'd seen it six times, I couldn't find anyone else who hadn't already seen it.

Jeffrey Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 08:33 AM EST

Matt: it's hard to believe anyone on the planet liked Big Fish enough to see it twice in the theatre. My wife and I saw Titanic 3 times tho. We actually went to see Titanic for the third time and L.A. Confidential for the second time on the same day, to make our final decisions on Oscars before our annual party with a betting pool. It was plain when seeing them back-to-back that Titanic was a more overwhelming theatrical experience and would win. For the same reason The Dark Knight is a monster smash: it's an overwhelming theatrical experience. Credit Christopher Nolan for that. Also a script that's way, way better than "Batman Begins".

Jeffrey Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 08:30 AM EST

I would definitely see it again in the theatre if the opportunity arose, but it probably won't. It was well worth it to pay the $10.50 (plus popcorn and soda) twice.

Mike Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 08:08 AM EST

First time ever i have seen a film twice in the same day, the first time was too much, i needed to digest the film and then watch it again, i enjoyed it as much the second time, I'm going for my fourth view in a week or so:-) Yes kids, it's that good!

Josh Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 02:34 AM EST

phantom menace - 5 times
attack of the clones - 5 times
dark knight - 2 times (more to come)
no country... - 2 times
golden compass - 1 time, and I regret it.
WALL-E - 3 times

I may see Dark Knight one more time, but I want to look forward to the DVD. So I'm debating

Marc Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 02:19 AM EST

I don't remember when the last time I saw the same movie twice in the theater and no movie is worth paying $10 to see again...Except this one! If I get the opportunity I will see it again. I don't think I can wait until it comes out on DVD.

Matt Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:40 PM EST

I've only seen dark knight once, but I'm dying to see it at least once more in theaters

here's my repeat movies
chicago - 4 times
blues brothers 2000 - 3 times
austin powers 2 - 3 times
batman begins - 2 times
lotr fellowship - 2 times
lotr two towers - 2 times
phantom menace - 2 times
attack of the clones - 2 times (same day)
titanic - 2 times
godzilla - 2 times (same day, once free)
bourne supremacy - 2 times
harry potter 3 - 2 times
harry potter 4 - 2 times
harry potter 5 - 2 times
a bugs life - 2 times
american beauty 2 times
snatch - 2 times
big fish - 2 times

Cici Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:19 PM EST

YES!!!!! I cannot wait. I wanted to see it again after I got out of my showing. It is the BEST movie of the summer.

JJ Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:41 PM EST

Hell to the yes, I will be seeing it again and again. Ledger....amazing. Bale...yum. Eckhart...awesome. Gyllenhaal...heartbreaking. I loved it and thought it was brilliant. And watching it in IMAX was the best.

Aaron Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 09:38 PM EST

what the hell is ur prob buddy the movie was awsome and kept everyone in the theater at the edge of their seat u just dont kno what ur talking about buddy so untill u so dont post stuff DL

dl Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 09:02 PM EST

Just saw Dark Knight. Thought it was way too long and lost momentum at the end. The movie could have easily ended much earlier. Heath was great about three quarters thru the movie then it seemed even he got bored with his character. Too many story lines. I won't be seeing it a second time.

Jessica Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 08:53 PM EST

I just returned from my second viewing of Dark Knight and it's better the second time around:) Still plan on hitting up and IMAX showing as well...

Harvey Dent Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 08:39 PM EST

I saw it 2wice and i'm going to see it again and again. Never have a I seen a movie more than once.

Mandy Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:56 PM EST

I've already seen it twice and I'm going for a third time this weekend to see it at the IMAX. The last movie I saw multiple times was Titanic.

rusty Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:17 PM EST

christian bale is the best batman and i will see it again about 4 times straight and i hop he does it again he's better than michael keaton val kilmer and george clooney put together so thats my coment about the best movie ever made

Pye Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 06:09 PM EST

You guys are all nuts!

How can you pay to see a movie twice?!?!?

Nesha Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 04:27 PM EST

I have my schedule cleared so that I can see The Dark Knight every weekend for the next month -- and I've already seen it twice. I've seen several movies more than once in theaters over the years, but never more than three times. But, for whatever reason, Being John Malkovich was the exception - I saw it five times in theaters. And to this day, every time I watch it, it's still as funny and freaky and weird as it was the first time.

Dr. No Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 04:04 PM EST

I saw Gigli 8 times, and Battlefield Earth 7 times. These were both suicide attempts, luckily I survived and doing much better now.

a Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 04:02 PM EST

The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai. I think I saw it in the theatre around 12 times... this is before videos were very common... for some reason, my then-boyfriend and me latched on to the movie and would go see it whenever we were bored. Yeah, I know....

RedAngel Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 03:47 PM EST

I'm waiting to see The Dark Knight a FIRST time, since I expect it'll stay crowded at my local theatre for awhile. But as far as theatre repeats, I saw the first Lord of the Rings 6 times, American Beauty 5 times, and second LOTR 3 times. As another poster said, they all just worked out that way. None of it was ever planned.

Gre Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 03:41 PM EST

The last movie I saw more than 3 times in the theater was THE PHANTOM MENACE. Yep, it took me that many times to realize it sucked. I saw SPEED a record 8 times in theaters, not so much because I loved it, but rather because various friends who hadn't seen it yet chose to when I was hanging with them!

Michelle Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST

As soon as TDK was over my friend and I agreed that we have to see it again. We saw it in IMAX but had bad seats, so we thought we might go back during the day in a few weeks when everyone's back in school. Heath Ledger was so kickass, and Christian Bale is personally my favorite Batman (though his raspy voice made my throat hurt). There is too much in this film to get it all the first time; I think repeat viewings are a must,and I needed time to let it all soak in between viewings. I think I have only seen two films more than once in theaters; Titanic (2) and Liar, Liar (2). Both I saw once with friends and then with a date. I would really like to see TDK once more in IMAX and then in a regular theater, but I'm a poor grad student and that would be like 40 bucks just for tickets (and the nearest IMAX is probably 80 miles away).

Amanda Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 02:45 PM EST

I have already seen The Dark Knight twice, and I intend to see it again. In fact, I may break my record of four times for this movie and see it five times, just because its so cool.

Ray Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 02:23 PM EST

I've already seen it twice (once in Imax and once standard) and will go see it at least once more for sure. I'll often see movies I really like twice (I saw Iron Man 3 times -- yep, obviously a comics fan), and the Dark Knight was amazing, so I'll be back for sure.

bugman Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 02:21 PM EST

I've been a Batman fan since I could first read a comic book (or at least look at the pictures) back in the mid-60's. Seen it all & this is, by far, the most awesome Batman rendition. Ledger's Joker is now the definitive Joker on screen (and off, if you ask me) - hands down. Makes all the previous incarnations look ridiculous & weak - even Nicholson's.

I've seen Dark Knight 3 times so far & will probably see it at least once more on the big screen. The only movie I've ever seen more than twice (again, big screen) is the 1st Indiana Jones film (7).

I read that Nicholson warned Heath Ledger about the Joker character getting into his head. Well, Heath's Joker is now in my head, and I'm okay with that. Crazy excellent!

Kinka Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 02:04 PM EST

I think this was the best movie I have ever seen. I will probably go see it again at least another two or three times. I saw Return of the King 3 times in the theaters which I think is my all time high.

Colin Farley Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 01:27 PM EST

I have already seen this movie twice in theaters, and I highly recommend those who aren't considering seeing it twice to see it twice. There are so many things about it that you miss the first time, and it's just a fantastic movie regardless.

Jess Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 01:14 PM EST

As soon as I get the chance I am going again. Excellent movie, great acting, and very suspensful. Loved every minute of it, and bravo to Heath Ledger on an outstanding performance as the joker.

Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 01:01 PM EST

I repeat-theater'ed LotR: Return of the King, The Holiday, and American Pie.

Kasia Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 12:59 PM EST

I will see it again. I saw it on IMAX first so probably will see it on a regular screen. I am a person that rarely sees movies in a theatre twice due to the cost but this one is absolutely worth seeing on the big screen again. Plus, Heath Ledger's performance was so mesmerizing I feel like I will like to experience it again on the big screen.

Jager Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 12:46 PM EST

Definitely will see it again... I went opening day to IMAX, and while that is an amazing experience, seeing it on a slightly smaller screen will probably allow you to catch subtleties that were missed on a screen the size of a building. (I saw "Empire Strikes Back" about 80 times in the theater, however I delivered papers to them and they let me in for free :> )

Krista Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 12:35 PM EST

Loved the movie - one of the best this year, by far! However, I won't be seeing it again . . . I found it hard to watch Heath Ledger. Got all choked up several times!

Hanson Jackson Hanson Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

Does anything think that Heath Ledger's performance was better than this?

THE DARK KNIGHT BEST FN MOVIE EVER MADE NO WAY TOPPIN IT

HRodgers Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 12:21 PM EST

I saw it twice opening day (with two different sets of people) and I plan on seeing it again this Thursday. That will break my own personal record of how many times I've seen a movie in a theater before (I saw Return of the King twice when it came out).

KB Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:58 AM EST

No chance I will see that again in the theater. Its a great movie overall, but too long, poorly paced, badly edited and very tiring. Easily the most exhausting movie theater experience I've ever had. I very much enjoyed it but I also left feeling beaten down, and I have no interest in going again. Its not really all that visually appealing anyway, there is not a single action scene that I need to watch again. When it comes out on HBO, I'll fast forward and rewatch all the fantastic Joker scenes again. Thats about it.

TexFan Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:52 AM EST

Will I see it again? I already DID see it again, and I'll own the video when it comes out! This was the best movie so far this summer, and I loved Ironman!

Ian Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:49 AM EST

Hell no. Between 2 movie tickets, popcorn, and drinks; going to the movies is like a 50 dollar night (not including dinner).

Ryan Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:43 AM EST

I will not see it again.

The Dark Knight is overratted, too long and disapointing that Chicago was used as Gotham.

Rae Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:30 AM EST

I'll see it again for sure.

The only movies I usually see multiple times are Pixar films. I've seen WALL*E 3 times so far and certainly will go again if I get the chance!

Matthew Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:25 AM EST

Heck yes I'm going again, but like others have said, I'm going to do IMAX this time. The movies I saw the most in the theater were Star Wars Phantom Menace and Moulin Rouge, each 6 times.

Manny Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:15 AM EST

Yes, I will see it again but on the Imax. I saw the first Mission Impossible 3 times, MI:2 and MI 3 twice. I really love those movies. Heat (2), The Bourne Identity and Supremacy twice. I only got a chance to see Ultimatum once. Apollo 13 and Braveheart twice. I got caught up in Titanic and saw it 3 times. I was single, lonely, bored--it was a rough time. Lol. On the Waterfront I've seen twice (both special showings of course).

Kelly Wirth Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 11:13 AM EST

I would definitely see it again!
Great movie, wonderful acting...

MJ Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:59 AM EST

Still haven't seen TDK yet; I want to go in the IMAX, but my nearest one is an hour and a half away. As for the films I've seen multiple times in the theater:

E.T.-3 times (only one I've seen more than twice)
The Muppets Take Manhattan (what do you expect, I was 9)
Ghostbusters
Mannequin (hey, I was 12, and Kim Cattrall was never hotter)
Batman Returns
Wedding Crashers

Maegan Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:57 AM EST

Saw all LOTR movies twice, X-Men 2 twice, and Batman Begins twice. Saw Dark Knight opening day in IMAX and will definitely see it again in IMAX.

Lauren Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:49 AM EST

I've seen TDK twice already, plan on going again.
I saw Lord of the Rings: Return of the King 5 times, once on Christmas.
The Two Towers: 3 times
Spiderman 3: 3 times in two days, which was unfortunate because I didn't like it the first time and I hated it more and more.
Spiderman 2: 2 times
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: 3 times
Oh and of course,
Batman Begins: 2 times
I've seen a lot of other movies more than once at the theater. My dad likes going to the IMAX too, so +1.

My sister saw Titanic a whopping 13 times at the theater. I'm pretty sure half of these times were when she was skipping school.

cantuse Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:20 AM EST

You people who expect all comic book films to be light, fluffy entertainment are the real insult to the medium. Comics have always been one of the most relevant allegories about social ills (the story of the Comic Code, etc). It's like saying Georgia O'Keefe only painted flowers. If you can't handle grim stories disconnected from the Joseph Campbell 'hero journey'; please continue to bury your head in the sand; just don't insult the art form or the people who struggle to survive AND express themselves through comics.

EMF Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:20 AM EST

I will see Dark Knight again at an I-Max theatre.

Back to the Future - 2
Seven - 2
Titanic - 2
There's Something About Mary - 2
Gone With the Wind - 3

David Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:08 AM EST

I saw both Enemy of the State and Godzilla (the Matthew Broderick version) twice on consecutive weekends, Jersey Girl on consecutive days and Wedding Crashers twice in one day!

Matchkitjohn Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 10:03 AM EST

Seen DK twice already. Maybe two more views.
Purple Rain - 4
Iron Man - 4
Incredible Hulk - 3
Spider-man 2 - 4
Spider-man 1 - 3

Yes I am geek.

Lance Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 09:55 AM EST

eh, I'll see it on dvd a second time. That way I can fast forward through the sloppy plot and boring exposition. It's just not $9.00 good. It did not live up to the hype for me. For the record Heath was good, but not Oscar good.

Rebecca Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 09:49 AM EST

I've already seen it twice (once at the midnight showing and once at IMAX) and will probably go again this weekend.

Jill Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 09:45 AM EST

I've seen The Dark Knight twice, and I'll go again soon. The movie I saw the most in the theater was TITANIC. 12 times.

Adam Smith Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 09:34 AM EST

Already saw The Dark Knight twice (midnight showing and Sunday afternoon with the parents). Planning on seeing it again whenever I get the chance. I'm thinking at least 3 theatrical viewings in all (par for the course for movies I really REALLY like).

Other movies that have gotten multiple views:
Anchorman (5, twice in a row one night)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (5)
Closer (4)
Mean Girls (3)
Spider-Man 2 (3)
Star Wars: Episode III (3)

And that's just in recent memory.

Deena Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 08:58 AM EST

Definitely more than once. I am going for a second viewing tonight (in IMAX this time) and will probably go for a third before it leaves theatres. After that, I'll probably see it a million times when it's on DVD. Can't get enough of it.

Auyon Roy Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 08:56 AM EST

I have just finished watching TDK 4 times. Safe to say i will wait for the DVD for the next watch.

liz Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 08:39 AM EST

Of course I saw Titanic like 6 times... it's not my fault I was in middle school and every girls birthday party that year involved a trip to the theater! Others that I have spent waaay too much money on recently were- Brokeback Mountain (4) Forgetting Sarah Marshall (3) and Garden State (I'm going to go with 6 on this one but I may have lost count along the way) and yes I would see the dark knight again as well!

Lori Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 08:08 AM EST

Yes, I already saw it last friday night but I plan on seeing it again at the IMAX theater!

fowak Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:46 AM EST

Well, my brother saw it four times opening day... he's a little crazy.

As for me, I would see it againa nd plan to. I think it was great the first go round. But it was also midnight, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it even more next time.

As for movies I've seen in multiples... I'd seen Pearl Harbor 5 times in the theater. But then I saw Hairspray and cannot describe to you the love I have for that movie and *had* to see it more times than Pearl Harbor because I love it waaaaay more. Therefore, Hairspray hold my records with 6 theater viewings.

Wendy Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:40 AM EST

I wouldn't mind seeing it again but that movie was the best batman ever.

Ricky Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:39 AM EST

i've seen it twice already and will probably go again. I was equally into it both times. Fantastic!

krikky Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:39 AM EST

I saw There Will Be Blood 8 times in the theater. Can't even bring myself to watch it on DVD or BluRay, because I'm afraid it won't live up to its power on the big screen...

M Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:30 AM EST

While it's a masterfully made movie, I don't think I'd enjoy it quite as much a second time . . . what made this the rare thrilling sequel was its sense of dread that built up right to the very end. You wouldn't feel quite that same grip watching it again.

jess Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:28 AM EST

YES!!! that movie was fantastic!

GG Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:14 AM EST

I saw it on IMAX this past weekend, and will see it on the regular screen this weekend!

donny Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:14 AM EST

i love the bit where the clown fish finds his father again and the sharks were brilliant I loved the turtles

Allison Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:10 AM EST

The Dark Knight was a great movie but I will not see it again in the theater I will buy it on dvd for the same price as admission and own it!

As for repeat viewing I saw Titanic 7 times in the theater, whatever I was young and obsessed and movie tickets were $5...

KarenM Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 06:55 AM EST

Saw it on the weekend, seeing it again tonight.............

BLU Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 06:48 AM EST

I plan on seeing it again very soon in the theater.

I normally don't see movies more than once at the theater, but I did see the following: Transformers x 3 and
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas x 2.

Last movie I saw twice was BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN because it was so amazing and the performances were just jaw droppingly wonderful. Same goes for BATMAN--it's so intense and filled with details that I felt overwhelmed by the whole story and characters. It's well worth a second look for all the nuances you miss the first time around!

I just saw Batman last night (gotta love cheapie Tuesday admission!) and I do plan on going again because my mom wants to see it. Other movies that I've seen more than once: Gladiator (3 times), 300 (twice) and Return of the King (3 times).

ironically i also saw American Beauty 3 times in the movie theatre; there was very else good out at the time and it just sort of happened
I would definitley see Batman again, it was fun and entertaining and a great release from reality.

I wouldn't call you skeptical...just flat-out wrong. Hype is one thing - usually it's manufactured by the studios, and once the actual product arrives, it doesn't deliver and the mania dies down. But prolonged buzz/word-of-mouth, even after the movie has been released and people have seen it multiple times, should clue you in to the fact that maybe the Dark Knight & Ledger aren't just getting sympathy raves. OF COURSE there's more attention for this movie because it contains a talented young actor's last performance before his untimely death, but that doesn't mean the movie's unanimous praise (from critics and audiences) should be automatically invalidated. There was a ton of buzz for Heath Ledger's performance even before he died, and his performance still exceeded my expectations - it was absolutely riveting and terrifying. If you want to miss out on one of the most iconic portrayals of villainy in modern cinema (and it really is) just to rebel against hype, then it's your loss.
