how many times are you going to see this movie?
 
Me. 2 times probably.

One at a major theatre and a cheap threatre then dvd.

I don't have alot of money to blow on stuff like multiple viewing but at least I'll see it twice in theatres.

Warhorse 02-05-2007 06:49 PM

Probably three or four times. But if I really like it, possibly more.

Roseangelo 02-05-2007 06:59 PM

Oh, I would have no problem seeing this movie three times opening weekend alone. And then possibly at least once a week after that for as long as I can find a theater playing it. :D

sdp 02-05-2007 07:04 PM

Once since tickets are 8$ or more, maybe once on a cheap theater too but by that time it'll probably be almost on dvd which i'd rather just buy.

gobo 02-05-2007 08:15 PM

Planning on at least 5. That would best the only movie I've ever seen at the theaters 4 times, 'Independence Day'.

Mr. Snackpants 02-05-2007 08:28 PM

Just once. More is a waste of money imo. Especially since theres this site I go to that has movies, still in theaters, available to watch.

Masked Ninja 02-05-2007 08:39 PM

Movie tickets are expensive. I plan on once, definitely, but if I like it enough I may have to go back for another showing. Probably would wait a week or two (or however long it took someone to drive me a second time :D) but two is probably my limit.

Raph's Girl 02-05-2007 08:44 PM

Just once in theatre then over and over again once the DVD comes out. :P

Hopefully there's an early enough showing cuz before noon here it only costs $4. :evilgrin:

Aelia 02-05-2007 09:02 PM

Well, if I really like it I'll go see it twice. But I'm gonna make sure the first time is ROCKIN'. I'm bringing all of my friends to raid the best theater in town and NOBODY is going to stop us! Except for maybe the Police.

I was thinking of taking a couple kids I know who are fans but they're all school age now (which makes me feel old since I've known 2 of em all their lives...) and I wanna go opening day. Maybe I'll see it twice....once on my own and a 2nd time with Billy, Michel (who's called me Ninja Turtle since he was 2), and Sheyanne (who at age 10 has a major crush on Don. Reminds me of me at that age. :evilgrin: ).

Aelia 02-05-2007 09:35 PM

I wish my brothers would go see the movie with me though. My second oldest brother comes home on leave (He's in the Army) during March and since it's opening during our Spring Break then my oldest brother could come too (College Teacher) and the same goes for my youngest sister (Who I cannot convince to come because she thinks I'm a loser for 'liking' TMNT as she calls it. She's mistaken, I LOVE it.) I really wanted to make it a family AND friends deal so I'd at least get to hang out with my brothers and sister without having a deathmatch over who gets to ride in the front seat.

ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael 02-05-2007 10:28 PM

Most likley, 3 times.

dustinm 02-05-2007 11:41 PM

i love the turtles because i grew up with them but i have a 4 year old son who loves them just as much as i do so im sure we will see it at least 5 times

CyberCubed 02-05-2007 11:56 PM

Once in the theater, many times on DVD.

RskimB 02-06-2007 01:18 AM

At least twice, maybe a third time if its really good. it'll be the only film i've done this for.

Dragnskull 02-06-2007 02:00 AM

luckily until about 4 months ago i worked for a movie theate r[btw i have the first trailors actual projector film :)] and i have teh_hookup. im getting in free, and i already told my boss [big brother] of my new job that im not showing up on the 23rd

im going to watch it from open to close [of corse skipping a show or two to get back into reality]

Sewer Bull 02-06-2007 02:30 AM

Maybe once in the cinema.

And then DVD. Hell yeah!

Kunoichi_Haruko 02-06-2007 05:30 AM

:sigh: I'm torn. Part of me wants to watch in theaters at least four times, because the only other movie I've done that for was POTC: Dead Man's Chest, but the other part of me just wants to watch maybe twice and then wear the DVD out when it comes.

Oh and Dragnskull--- That's crazy, but still awesome (wish I had that kind of hook up)!

Spitfire 02-06-2007 06:57 AM

Don't be cheap you DVD viewers, go see the damn thing at least twice. You want a sequel or not?

I'm going 3 times at very least. I have people I'm dragging along as well.

I saw Spider-man 2 5 times in theaters. 3 normal and 2 IMAX. Not that it needed my money I just liked it a lot. But this I'll support.

bmxbandit 02-06-2007 07:47 AM

probably twice. then maybe again once it hits the cheapo theaters.

Garou 02-06-2007 08:21 AM

Not sure. I usually only see a movie in the theatres once, but this one might be an exception. I have two friends who agreed to go with me on the premiere, and then I have some others who can't come that day, but surely will see it later - and then I have to go :P Wouldn't be right to say no to seeing Ninja Turtles, would it?

And then I'm going to see it atleast once a week, when it comes out on DVD. If I can keep myself to seeing it so rarely...

Buslady 02-06-2007 10:48 AM

I'll probably see it 2-3 times, cause we ALL know by fall it will be on DVD.
I think my record...was Ghostbusters, litterally about 20 times most of that in the $3 matinees way back when it was cheap.

TerranigmaFreak 02-06-2007 10:52 AM

I'll probably watch it more than once, then watch it a couple more times on DVD.

Lady Venus 02-06-2007 05:01 PM

If I'm lucky I will see it just one time

hazlov2004 02-06-2007 05:26 PM

id love to it five times and when i get on dvd hehe

Haha, I too am an Independence Day fan! Saw it about 4 times in the theater as well. It's probably my favorite big blockbuster film of all time. When I got the movie, it spurred me into investing into a surround sound system, which that movie is like the best film to test your system out.

Other movies that I saw multiple times, Turtles one and two (actually, the first Turtle movie was the first film I saw more than once at the theaters!:D ) Starwars films, all of them, all of the Lord of the Rings (I forgot how many times I saw Return of the King) and Black Hawk Down, one of the best real life movies ever made that was adapted from a real life book.

Roseangelo 02-06-2007 06:28 PM

I saw Episode I in the theater 13 times. :D

Ah, that was a good summer.

Rooish 02-06-2007 06:31 PM

I'll probably see it three times. That was the number I decided on a while back. If it's even better than I expect, maybe I'll go more.

That was in 2001, right? Now, I didn't see it that many times in the Theater, but it was quite alot. And I still can't figure out why all the so called Star Wars fans did the prequels so much, they're great movies!

1999. Star Wars was everywhere and gas was $.90/gallon. It was a great, great summer.

And I love all of the prequels.

13 times!!!!
Why would you subject yourself to such an average movie so many times?
I could understand Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, or Terminator, they are absolute classics, but Episode 1?

Anyway back on topic, some people here have said that they are going to see the movie 3-5 times.
Would you not wait until you see the movie first?
After all it could be crap or average, I doubt that this will be the case, but still though, if it was an average movie would you still see it 3-5 times?

If yes, why would you contribute more money to a vision of the TMNT that didn't live up to the potential of the characters?
Take Episode 1 for example, I really disliked that movie and I love Star Wars, but my love of Star Wars wouldn't make me go see an average movie with that name over and over again.

I hope I don't offend anyone with this, but the impression I got is that some fans are going to see TMNT multiple times regardless of it's quality, and this I can't understand.

1) When all of those movies you mentioned were in theaters I was no where close to being able to drive and having disposable income to spend.

2) Not everyone on the planet hates Episode I (and the prequels in general). I happen to really like it and the lightsaber duel at the end alone was worth every trip to the theater.

That was good alright, the best part of the movie, Darth Maul should have been used more.
I wish the prequels weren't so CGI heavy, and Hayden wasn't cast, he was dreadful.

No, he was quite good, actually. It's not Hayden's fault that Anakin was a whiny brat.

There really isn't more that you could do with Maul, as the Sith were not making a full-out attack on the Jedi; they were only revealing themselves. Disappointment is what you're going to get when you get excited over a character you know nothing about before you see the movie.

I wasn't even a year old when Empire came out, but from what I've read it seems like Boba Fett had similar hype and I rarely see people complain about how he didn't do a whole lot, which he didn't. And then he had his pathetic death in Jedi.

cowabunga14 02-06-2007 08:40 PM

I'd say two or three time in theatres. Seeing as TMNT was the first I got into when I was younger, it's only appropiate to see it more than once.

dripgutz24 02-06-2007 08:48 PM

At least twice in the theaters the day it comes out.

I agree with your statements. I actually liked all of the prequels better than the originals, except for Empire Strikes Back. That movie is in a league all of it's own, with the best cliffhanger I ever saw in a movie!

But the prequels had some pretty bad ass characters. I actually found myself really liking Mace Windu. He was excellently acted by Samual L Jackson. Natalie Portman did a good job with Queen Amidala (Padme) too.
And Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobie. What else can I say.

We got to see the City of Coruscant, the creation of the storm troopers, a really cool Ben Hur type games in Attack of the Clones, and got to see Yoda show that he is capable of more than mastering the force with his mind (this is something that would have been hard to pull of without CGI.

Also, the novels that went with the movies are pretty good too. Revenge of the Sith is probably the best of the novels, and really, when watching that scene when all the Jedi were being exterminated, how could you not get upset by that scene?

I love Obi-Wan; the prequels earned him the title of my favorite SW character (and not just because Ewan is my celebrity boyfriend!!).

I can definitely agree with you about the novels. All three of them were very solid with ROTS going far above and beyond the requirements of a novel based on a movie. A lot of parts in ROTS are hard to watch, but I still love the movie.
