Can you read? I mentioned the teens the FIRST time I addressed this on the 1st page. Now I adressing this for the 3rd time. When I said teens and Old people I was referring to TITANIC!. Damn man, what is wrong with your eyes.
"#6/65 for comic book adaption is not a crap movie flipmode."
What the hell kind of Pansy ass list is that? Oh now your going a by a list of SUPERHERO movies so you can approprialy rank Batman Begins??
That's some sorry ass Sh!t. The fact is the Batman movie franchise has taken a serious hit, and this new one is just an average movie, nothing spectacular.
The opposite is true for Batman '89. It WAS spectacular even with all it's flaws, and was an amazing piece of work. After it's run, IN 1989, it was on the Top Ten biggest movies of all time. You know, that same list that is now dominated by LOTR, Spiderman, Shrek, and Star Wars movies?
Yeah that list.
So in contrast(in that repect)...Batman Begins is a failure.
This is the ranking for comic book adaption:
1 Spider-Man Sony $403,706,375
2 Spider-Man 2 Sony $373,585,825
3 Batman WB $251,188,924
4 Men in Black Sony $250,690,539
5 X2: X-Men United Fox $214,949,694
6 Batman Begins WB $200,099,489
7 Men in Black II Sony $190,418,803
8 Batman Forever WB $184,031,112
9 Batman Returns WB $162,831,698
10 X-Men Fox $157,299,717
This is the ranking for Superhero movies:
1 Spider-Man Sony $403,706,375
2 Spider-Man 2 Sony $373,585,825
3 The Incredibles BV $261,441,092
4 Batman WB $251,188,924

Look who's number 6 on that list.
💃 🙄
The point is, that's a B!tch list, for you to sit here and try to justify Batman Begin's success at the box office, when it clearly is'nt.
Especially after movies like Spiderman...making APPROPRIATE numbers, for this day and age.
If Batman Begins was a movie like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I would admit..IT WAS A HIT!! As that movie did go on to do numbers like that...IT WAS A HIT. Then Fine no complaint from me. But it's NOT that kind of movie...it's FRIKKIN BATMAN!!! These are some sorry ass numbers.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding SUCKED. It is like no matter what I do there is no way I can stop teenaged girls from making shit movies go to the very top.
The first BATMAN was not seen as "Not bad for a Comic Book Adaption" it was hailed as "Movie of the decade". **** Revenge of the Sith, dork. Good movies came out all throughout the 80's and in 1989, too. BATMAN had NO flaws. Ok so they did had flaws. The only flaw was that they did not plan for two sequels in advance. The other only flaw is that they put "Vickie Vale" in with her finding out about the BAT CAVE and all that shit instead of having the BATMAN having ONE love intrest, I prefer Selina Kyle, to NO love intrests. It was not flawed because it was different from the BATMAN in the comic books though. It goes down to the dark roots and broke the Adam West barrier, Jason Todd dying, or no Jason Todd dying. ****, Bob Kane was right there too and he didn't have a beef with it. I only regret that he lived to see BATMAN & ROBIN. **** you, Tim Burton! Should have completed that trilogy before handing it to his husband.
SPIDERMAN is going to murder with the third movie. BATMAN BEGINS AGAIN had better be better.

1. First of all, your attempt at a joke with that list was retarded.
2. Only Hollywood whores rank movies as good or bad by how much they make.
3. Only an idiot would say a movie is crap because it wasn't in top 10 of all time.
4. Batman Begins was made for the comic fans unlike the old ones which were made for the masses to draw in max dollars. Despite this, it was still the 2nd highest grossing Batman movie.
But to restate the most important part: Best profits don't mean better movie.

Let's see, 3rd highest film for 2005 so far.
1 Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith Fox $377,901,000
2 War of the Worlds Paramount $224,627,000
3 Batman Begins Warner Bros. $199,126,000 * it's over 200 now these are from a previous date.
4 Madagascar DreamWorks $188,707,954
5 Mr. and Mrs. Smith Fox $180,880,000
crap numbers?! are you mentally retarded? I think you are.
The list for the top 100 grossing films of ALL time...Batman Begins is on there...Only two movies this summer beat it in ranking...(ROTS which...well....deserves it as the last SW film EVER! and WOTW), no other summer film released this year, is there and still gaining ground...what an ass you are for not conceding the fact that your opinion of the film is in the minority. Quit trying to be the one guy who hates it because you think you will look cool in
years to come to say that and just admit that just because you DIDN'T like it that others (mostly comic fans and critics) loved the film...Let it go you idiot!

Funny how that was the only thing you replied to after my huge post that refered to all your ranting.
about me and my eyes? well you've had to repeat yourself so many times because people don't have a clue what the heck you're trying to say.
BUT
I recall you cleary say:

Those old fools went back in masess watching that crap over and over, but they loved it.It's the same effect that would happen if they ever made a 9/11 movie about 40 years from now. That's a BIG reason why Titanic is the biggest movie of all time.
now that couldn't have been you? could it?! so teenage girls will be seeing a 9-11 movie when it comes out 40 years from now?!
well I think Leo might be too old for a role in that movie!!
Umm.. actually - although I don't agree with the general thrust of this thread - with few exceptions 2005 has been a pretty crap year in terms of Box Office grosses, especially when one considers inflationary influences. It is arguable that Batman Begins isn't that considerable a financial success... it's definitely not a bomb like The Island though... it's made back it's production budget and then some... however using only the Box Office numbers is a foolish way to judge the quality of a movie anyway.

Those movies are kiddie friendly and that's why they did numbers that high.
maybe if they made Batman Begins more kiddie friendly your mother would have taken you there for a family outing and the movie would have made more money with all the mommies and daddies going.
oh yeah and don't forget to bring along Tiny Tim.
Don't forget the focus of this thread.. that Batman Begins sucked because it only made 200 mil domestically. My point was that the movie was in the top ten movies for comic book adaption and superhero movies. And that it was the 2nd grossing film for the Batman franchise. Of course how much a movie makes doesn't neccesarilly indicated the quality of the movie, but flipmode said that based upon how much the movie made, proves that it sucked. I am saying that based upon how much it made compared to other films of it's genre, that it was an excellent movie.
Weekly Chart Review: 'Batman Begins' Tops $200M
Just thought I'd make a thread for this.
Weekly Chart Review: 'Batman Begins' Tops $200M
3rd highest movie of the year just behind War of the Worlds at the no. 2 spot.
Batman Begins has done well.
I'm saying that bring in a more mainstream Villain (Joker) in the next movie and it will do +300million.
That's my prediction for the next movie.
