And not because of his rankings, I don't care enough about Batman to agree or disagree. He's an alt right super conservative influencer/host you could say. He spews hate and lies and he's a horrible person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The full soundtrack has been released: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The movie comes out in a week, Batman is my favourite superhero, and it looks like a great movie, so why am I not more excited for this? Is it my worry that I've seen this tone of movie for Batman already with the Nolan trilogy? Has covid and the lack of being to the theatre in two years killed my excitement for movies? Is it my depression? Under normal circumstances I would have had the release date burned into my brain, jumping with anticipation ready with my opening night tickets, but now it's like, oh yeah it comes out next week, and I guess I'll see it when I see it.

LazyPiranha Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 For me it’s a combo of not being super eager to go to a theater and also not really caring to see the fourth super gritty Batman movie in a row. By the time Rises came out I was already kind of tired of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Reviews coming out. So far seems universally loved. Lots of 5/5 and 10/10. Gamespot gave 6/10, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 For some reason recent media has made me expect the worst for this one, but it seems the reviews are overall quite good. I'm again quite looking forward to seeing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Apparently AMC is doing a trial run of variable ticket pricing in which big in demand titles get higher prices. Another example of theaters making dumb moves to hurt themselves. Discount movies to drive up demand, don’t inflate prices on stuff that is going to draw a crowd! Leaves a bad taste in consumer mouths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 That’s fucking stupid of them. When my theatre (when I worked there) got rid of cheaper afternoon pricing some 20 years ago. We just went too a single price all day General Admission price (12.95) and Child/Senior was lIke $9.50. Then about 10 years ago we brought back cheap Tuesday pricing again and even greater 10% off that with your Scene points card. I thought all that was stupid back then, but this thing takes the cake.

Brick Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Smaller movies should get discounts maybe to help drum up interest, but charging more for big blockbusters feels like them going, "we know you're going to see it, so you're going to take this higher price and like it". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it works different in the states maybe. Before Cineplex bought Famous Players in Canada, our 2 companies would bid on prints to play in theatres. My city had one of each theatre and mine was newer, bigger, and more screens. Yet we didn’t get any Jurassic Park movies until 4. So the higher price makes me think that AMC must be offering premium screens/higher ticket profit with the distributor. Cineplex is now pretty much a monopoly in Canada minus someone like Regal theatres and so no more worries on bidding on films anymore.

Clearance (where theaters in the same geographical location got exclusive rights over the other) pretty much ended around 2016/2017, and is totally dead in the post Covid world where they want as many screens as possible.

Jason Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 6 hours ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: There's nothing apparent about it at all! They already kinda-sorta do this with A List being more expensive depending on where you live. They also do a bait and switch with the A-List $1 first month promo. You're actually on the hook for full freight for months 2 and 3. Which I'm assuming is buried in the illegible text on the red box on the left (no you can't enlarge the image). If you try to cancel in the first month they'll force you to pay for months 2 and 3 all at once. Thankfully I put it on one of my Amex cards so instead of fighting with AMC about it beyond one attempt on Twitter chat (in which they told me to go pound sand, it's in the terms) I just let the charge go through and then told Amex it was fraudulent, I figured "fraudulent" includes the merchant making unauthorized charges and not just someone stealing your card number.

TheLeon Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 When I first signed up for A-List, I remember seeing the 3 month commitment, and I’m not someone who combs through the fine print. I also remember reading that if you cancel, you can’t sign back up again for 6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it IS a movie to be seen on the big screen if you can. The score itself should be heard on a theater system and I have a 7.1 surround sound system. SO glad I saw this in the theater. I have a couple of questions I want to discuss so I'll wait for more folks to see the movie before I start posing questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I'd like to see it in IMAX, but were any scenes filmed with IMAX cameras? I feel like after The Dark Knight, not filming a Batman movie with IMAX cameras would be a step back. If it wasn't I suppose I could just go to one of the other higher than regular admission screens.

I would like to know this too... I want to see it again and If i do, I'd definitely see it in Imax. EDIT: For those worried about the length of the movie (I myself was) it TOTALLY earns its runtime. I wanted MORE when it ended. Would LOVE to see an extended four hour Snyder cut of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
