Batman: What a douche

TJ: Awww you guys... yes I do want another blog credit and rightly so.

I am going to talk about the Dark Knight Rises since it came out today. I really enjoyed the movie the first time and the second time in theaters and I am probably going to front the cash to get it now that its out. The movie is really well done but it also had a 240 million dollars spent to make it. The thing that I don’t like about it is what most people go to the movies to see. I realize it’s batman and if he’s not kicking but every five seconds people are disappointed. The thing that made this movie fall a little bit short of what I wanted was to have the characters have more depth to their personalities instead just a way to take us to the next action scene. When talking about recent big budget movies I though Skyfall actually did an amazing job by using the characters as the main emphasis instead of the violence. I am of course excluding the scene at the end where they built up all this tension to have a major but kicking. The part of skyfall that I loved was that it also brought more of the old bond back and the shots looked beautiful. Comparing these recent action movies to the clips I showed in class there is no comparison between them because of the level of sophistication in psychological thrillers. I am at heart wanting very deep movies but I will admit I loved the simplicity of the first two movies mentioned because I am still a guy and guns, explosions and cars impress me and its relaxing not to have to put forth an effort.
