Short and Sweet

Last week I tried to write a review of The Dark Knight Rises. I saw it opening night amongst all the buzz and hoopla. The thing is i never finished writing that review and now it is too late. I talked too much about it with friends and co-workers had too much to say and then couldn’t figure out how to say it succinctly. Now half the world has seen the movie and written about it and I think me taking the time to try and finish the review is pointless. I will delete my 6 and a half lengthy paragraphs and say a few things in point form.

  • This movie is grand, epic, and a great conclusion to this masterful series.
  • It is a long ass movie
  • I cannot say if this was the best one of the trilogy as all the movies were good and none of them were the low point in the story
  • There are some blatant plot holes in the movie but with the way the movie unravels only 1 really sticks out; how did he get back into the city? Hmmmm…?
  • Anne Hathaway was a bad choice for Cat Woman. I said in my partial review (that you will never see) that “her performance was just below acceptable” and I stick by it. People keep telling me the “she wasn’t as bad as I expected” but that does not equal a good performance. She managed not to ruin the movie by have a relatively small role.
  • Bane was an awesome villain
  • There is an appearence by Ra’s Al Ghul
  • and Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow which was too short and hilarious
  • This may ruin the movie for the people I know who haven’t seen this yet but … I was right on all counts. Boo-ya!

Should you pay the big bucks to see this movie? I am in agreement with most reviewers out there…hells yeah! The scale of this movie is simply immense even if you just take in the visuals it is worth it. This movie was made to be seen on the big screen and it should. Will I strike you down with great vengeance and furious anger (Holla SLJ) if you are in disagreement with me? No. I may be confused but if you present a well thought argument then I will accept your opinion. I do not troll and call people names just cuz our opinions differ. I am sorry to see this trilogy end but it is a good ending and anything more would ruin it.

I think that should do it.
