It gets better eveytime I watch it


When I first saw this movie, I thought it was kinda mediocre. I gave it a 6. Then I started to like it and gave it a 8. Now I love it and changed it to 10. Just one of the most exciting, original, beautiful, enjoyable movies I've ever seen.

I don't doubt it, but could you say a bit more about what caused you to think more highly of it each time? Was it additional things you saw that you missed the first times, for example? Or is it something else?

I guess I thought it was too short. And the action scenes were kinda small compared to other action scenes like The Matrix or John Woo movies. However after seeing the extended version with Matilda's first hit, and Leon's backstory made it feel more complete. And the action has grown on me. I actually like how Leon doesn't just run and gun, he hides and uses stealth to take out his targets.

Bought the new blu Ray that was recently released and saw it with some ppl again tonight.

Great movie, one of my favorites. I loved it when I first saw it, but I agree it gets better with each viewing.

rtodd did you notice that the BluRay version has an enhanced sound track, especially in the very low bass? You need a good powered subwoofer in your sound system to fully realize it.

Maybe you just get worse every time, so in comparison it gets better?

I saw the movie today and it was awesome.

I had the same problems with it the first time around. Some multiple viewings later, and it's simply awesome.

This film has made a lasting impression on me, like no other I have ever seen before. With each viewing, new questions always come to mind, and searching for the answers, is not always an easy task. This film has so much to offer, to anyone that is willing to look a little harder. Studying this film over the years, has taught me that things are not always as they first appear, and looking deeper into the story, can often reveal something new.
