I know Batman hasn't received a lot of love lately in here, and I understand that the tragedy in Aurora is absolutely mind-numbingly awful, but just for a second, I have to say, I saw The Dark Knight Rises today...and, just WOW...
That truly was the best movie of the year, hands-down. The Avengers was empty, mindless, silly, banal, and felt so goofy as well as colorless. The Dark Knight Rises has so many layers to it, it's like an onion. It has so much plot, such rich themes, amazing characters, and it's downright inspiring. For all the haters who slam the violence (who just don't "get" Batman), there is just so much hopefulness and inspiration in this flick.
The mind of Nolan (I should say, plural, Nolans) in this script and the directorship of this movie....it's phenomenal. I am still in awe....
I can't say enough about this film. If you haven't seen it, check it out. If you hate superheroes (as has been made clear by several folks lately), just don't post on this! LOL
I was wondering if anyone else saw this movie and was impressed? Here I went into summer counting the days to Avengers and left the theatre reeling in disappointment, not looking forward to TDKR as much, and I came out of there with the feeling I had hoped to have with Avengers. What a flick!
Kate liked the first too movies "ok," but she was blown-away impressed, too. The kids loved it. What a blast.
