I'm just back from watching The Dark Knight Rises & it literally figuratively blew my mind. (The only way I could literally have my mind blown is if I was a senior scanner up against Revok, really).
So this is not so much a serious review post, more of a post appreciating how amazing & flawless all aspects of the film were (with no spoilers!) - the acting, writing, dialogues, stunts, cinematography, film score & all that. Even I, with my super critical eye found just one continuity error. There were a few plot holes too but we can all forgive that because it's a superhero film right?!
I had goosebumps on my legs for a large part of the film - the twists are amazing too. I've been a fan of Christopher Nolan since I saw The Prestige, & I don't think anyone could have handled the Batman series better - thank you for making such a non-campy superhero trilogy.
Also I'm always one who hates seeing films in the cinema due to those few boisterous people who pass comments loudly & are overall annoying, but here seeing it it a packed theatre really added to the whole experience.
Ok I'm going to stop gushing now... have you seen the film? Do share your (spoiler free) thoughts in the comments.
thanks for visiting me, nice to meet you :)
ReplyDeletei'm a big fan of the batman series of films, and they just keep getting better. i'm looking forward to this one, although will likely be on dvd.

Thanks for your visit & comment! :)
ReplyDeleteDVD is a good option, it's just difficult to avoid spoilers, because to some extent the twists make the film.
I must be one of the few not the least bit excited by this. :) I didn't like the previous one either except perhaps for Heath Ledger's performance. I remember falling asleep midway through the last movie. And mind you, this after knowing Christian Bale (who is great eye candy) was Batman. I thought the cartoons were better. I have watched The Prestige and enjoyed that though.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GAWD WHATAREYOUSAYINGMEN! :O
ReplyDelete{This is like my standard reaction to anyone whose saying they aren't excited about it or didn't like it ;)}
My mom dozed off for a bit during this movie. But she dozes off during ALL movies. Yep. Not a proper movie date with mom till she's had a mini snooze in the cinema.
I'm actually feeling a bit depressed about the film because to me it was so awesome & it's over. So amazing. Thinking of the audience cheering at all the right moment make me giddy. Gah. :')
The Prestige was awesome & I have two words for you- Tesla / Bowie.
Ok I will stop now. Must stop replying to comments in vodka induced happiness.
PS- I'm a lazy bad person & have not posted the books yet. Early next week, I promise. Will let you know. \
can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteGlad to read similar feelings being echoed about the movie!
