Hey you guys here is my Dark Knight Rises Review!

The Dark Knight Rises

Directed By Christopher Nolan.

I just want to start off by saying I wasn’t the Biggest “Dark Knight” fan.
Or even the biggest batman fan (I’m a Superman guy.. In case you haven’t noticed)
I mean Batman Begins was good, not great, certainly better than the batman movies before it, the Dark knight was actually pretty good, mostly due to heath ledger’s performance as the Joker, whish is truly outstanding and creepy. But I could still name about a dozen other superhero films I liked better, I mean, I was somewhat biased that it couldn’t fit in with the rest of the DC universe.
(I’m a huge Justice League fan too btw. ) but then I saw the Dark Knight Rises..

And everything changed, I didn’t care that it couldn’t fit into the rest of DC universe because it was done so deliciously perfect, it starts out strong and intense with a plane scene that introduces the villain of the film, Bane, which I actually liked better then the Joker, partly for reasons that most people wouldn’t understand. (Haha). Played to excellence by Tom Hardy, who is also one of my favorite actors. He is extremely terrorizing, brother.
The story starts out eight years after the events of the Dark Knight, it is a time of peace for Gotham City, the Batman hasn’t been seen sense the night Harvey Dent was “Murdered” and Bruce Wayne himself, has become a recluse. Everything changes when bane shows up. A murderous terrorist whos, true identity is unknown, the movie introduces Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle a master “cat” burglar who warns Bruce of the coming storm, she truly does a amazing job of playing the elusive catwomen, sometimes, a baddy, but you can see it’s all just an act.
Also Joseph Gordon- Levitt plays a cop named Blake an orphan who also fights for justice much like batman.. (I won’t give anything away, but if you’re a fan of a certain character-like I am, you should be at least somewhat pleased) Joseph just really does a great job as well there are just so many great actors in this movie.. A lot from inception too..  Add in Marion Cotillard and you could almost call it “Inception 2: rise of the Batman” .. Oh wait she is in it..

As Miranda Tate. A business women who’s trying to kept Gothen in check, now that Bruce is no longer active, but she may not be all that she seems, she like the other cast did a fine job, maybe not quite to the extent as some, but she had a smaller role to work with, although I can’t really say I liked her character.

Morgen Freeman, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine, were awesome as always.
I would spend more time on each, but that would make this review really long, lets just say Gordon is really really cool this time round.

And then there’s Christian bale, I thought he did alright in the first two but this one he really stepped up to the plate or rose up you could say, Bruce does get more screen time then batman but the parts he is the cape crusader are mind blowing. Bale was actually one of the best things about this movie truly great performance, the sets were amazing, and seeing it in IMAX only amplified that the story was deep and heartfelt, the score was incredible, there was just such a great momentum buildup throughout the whole movie, so much so that it’s hard to separate favorite screens, although I had many but the whole movie was kind of a big favorite scene,
and the end was just wow, I wont spoil it, but it made have had one of the most satisfying endings ever. I came in expecting it to be really good, certainly not as good as the Avengers, and came out thinking it one of the best films ever to hit the big screen, maybe tied with, Avengers for all time favorite movie.

Truly amazing film 10/10. go see it.

And now the moment we've all been waiting for .. the Number 1# movie I just can't wait to see next year.

And it is no other then...


 Releases 6.14.13

And there it is. The Man of Steel, Superman for a whole new generation. Now, I'll admit at first I was a bit skeptical about the re-boot of the Franchise. for one thing unlike some people I actually really liked "Superman Returns" I loved it when i first saw it to tell you the truth, and now that a few years have past I see a couple things that could have been better, the actor for one thing, wasn't bad but could have been better, there wasn't really anything new to it's from the originals, to red-blue and yellow Maybe?? well not really with superman, but It wasn't taken quite seriously enough and I have mixed feelings about "the son of superman approach they were going for. not that it can't be done, but yeah.. anyway back to this superman movie.

Superman is my favorite superhero, and I like alot, and usually how much I like the movies their in makes me like them more or less. but to be honest Sups is more then just a character in a movie, or even a comic book, he is a symbol of hope and justice, that in a world full of hate and despair you can rise above it and become someone better, okay he's not Jesus (although he was inspired by him, which is probably why he's so good)
but, he also has one of the most interesting and complex histories of superheroes. an alien sent to Earth just before it's destruction his not knowing his real parents.. always wanting to be human, knowing he'll never been. anyway Obviously I'm a Superman geek, and so far Smallville has been the best adaption of him imo.
 though just a few weeks ago this would have been lowing on the list two things changed that.
1# The Trailer, sure it doesn't show much, but the feel was perfect, artful and emotional. suggesting that it's going for Depth and Emotion and not Visuals Visuals, action (although, I'm sure that will be great.
in short I was very pleased with the teaser

1# The Dark Knight Rises Written and Directed  by Christopher Nolan. was one of the  Best movies of all time and the Bast "Batman" Film I could Imagine. and I'm not even a huge Batman fan!. so this is written by Nolan also.. I'm excited.. also word is this could be the launching film for the Justice League! if it's successful! Probably one of the most Wished for movie to see get made of my lifetime. I still have some doubts.. Henry Cavil for one thing, I was not Impressed With him in "Immortals" but that was just a bad movie done very poorly, which sometimes even the best actors can't take seriously. I'm just Hoping WB knows what they're doing with the casting... he looked good in the trailer

but yes when it's all said in done, this could be I'm hoping one of the best superhero film ever made, maybe the best.. so that is why this is my Number 1# for 2013.

and there you have it my countdown for for my top 13 most anticipated films of 2013 is complete. I hope you enjoyed reading. and there is much more to come!

And Number 2# is...

Releases 12.13.13

Wow, I had a hard time deciding this one. it almost made my 1# so close, but I looked in my heart and there is something else I'm looking forward to even more..what is it? well that's for next time. but hey I still am dying to see this film. I mean it's the Hobbit!!! Journey Back to Middle Earth! the film, that had one of the most difficult green-lighting and pre-production ever! and it's finally coming! not just one but apparently three films based on it. It was two till very recently, and to be honest I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. The Hobbit's not a very long book; just over 300 pages, but if the third ones more of a bridge film then actually part of the Hobbit, that could be very interesting. I don't know..
but this is the second part I'm talking about, where Bilbo faces off aganist Smaug the Dragon! (at least I'm hoping it still is. the only thing is, I read the book. and it's a great, fun, interesting story about how Bible found the one ring. but it's just can't top Lord of the Rings. it's not as Epic or as deep as that story, but Peter Jackson is one of the best people in movie business out there. (imo) anyway (I'll forgive him for King Kong). and Like I Said, starting this Christmas you get to go back to Middle Earth! and the Lord of Rings, is probably one of the most influential movies in my young life. I just love it. it's so amazing good verus evil! Epic stakes. cannot wait for this one. (P.S. wanted to let you know, I Saw The Dark Knight Rises. so you can expect a review soon!)

Now I am Getting Into my Top 3

3#

Star Trek 2! (or whatever They're going to call it.)

There is so little known about this film, they started filming it last January and we haven't got some much as an official title. well if secretive-ism is what they were going for kudos to them! but Let me just say the that I was not an Star Trek Fan in the least... until 2009. When J.J. Abrams Released the re-imagined the star trek cannon with something mind blowing! Star Trek, the cast was pitch perfect, the sets were dazzling the score was slick, everyone about this movie was great (well almost everything.) and and totally sequel appropriate, so this is a really, really close call for 3rd, my Top 3 well 4 really are all so anticipated it's hard to single them out, but I believe this is the correct place for now, of course once there is more info for these titles it may change it bit. but yes I true cannot wait for the movie to come out! hope it can be as amazing as the first!

Number 4#


Releases 11.22.13

The Sequel to the mega hit "The Hunger Games" About teens who are forced to battle each other to the death on live television. by their corrupt government. but it's also based on the book of the same name. which when I read it I thought was one of the best novels of all time. sure it got a little slow in the middle but the last 250 pages paces just like a racing heart, so intense, the stakes are so high.. is Katness losing her mind?, are they really going to do this again? lets just say what happened in this book is what i wanted to happen in the first one.. if only they were splitting this book, instead of the third one, why is this number 4# on my list then.. well for one 2013 is turning out to be a year of great potential for films, and for an other, I loved the Hunger Games movie, but there was some stuff they left out. and it wasn't quite perfect. the acting by Lawrence pretty much made up for most of it, and there is some risk that it won't be quite what I was hoping for, Sam Clafin (if true) isn't the worst choice for Finnick, (my Favorite Character in the series btw) but I think they could have done better, but maybe he can surprise me and just maybe it will be a masterpiece like the book.
