play. This
will be the epic conclusion to the trilogy; will Batman be able rise to thwart
Bane and his plan to destroy Gotham City?
July 20th we will find out.
There’s been a lot of hype on
this movie and if it will surpass “The Avengers”. I personally don’t see this happening, but
you never can tell these days. Batman is
one of my favorite comic book heroes of all time. So you can bet I’ll be there this Friday
night in line to watch. So after I see
the movie I’ll get right back on here and give you my in-depth impression and
review!
I'll be giving my impression as well. Be warned.
ReplyDeleteAlright, I'm not a comic guy. I have no idea if this movie was consistent with the comics. That being said, I think this movie was very entertaining; lots of fighting and explosions and motivational stuff. The main bad dude throughout the movie, Bane, was phenomenal! He played a very believable psycho and proved a very worthy opponent for the bat. Bruce Wayne is as expected; heroic. The new guy (hopefully not soon to be Robin, in an ill-fated sequel) was a welcome addition, with a true rookie attitude. The only things that I could have done without were: Michael Caine stating, for the twelfth time "I don't want to bury anymore of the Wayne family." and the foreshadowing of another movie including Robin.
ReplyDeleteThere were some small, surprising twists and turns that kept the movie alive, when it started to drag a little. The movie is long! Go pee before you wall into the theater and after the previews. You'll be lost if you miss five minutes.
