One Piece Film Z (2012)
Overrated.
i don't like the plot. not that the story itself is bad, its just that i felt that the plot doesn't even involve the straw hats!
first lets look at the final battle. do you remember any of them say anything about retrieving/preventing the Dyna rocks from exploding? no! they didn't even bother saving the world, the only thing they cared about was the **** hat so i think even if you remove them from this movie, it would still end the same way. It was Kuzan that stopped the Dyna rocks (by freezing) and the marines that killed Z. It is true that it was Luffy that destroyed his weapon and i'm not going to argue about this. The Navy is also capable of doing that, with ease.
second is (again) the final battle itself. i was expecting a lot to happen here but what the hell? a fist fight? are you serious? compared to the previous film, Strong World, of course the battle scenes were done better this time because of the 5 years difference in technology. if we can somehow remake the scenes from Strong World today then it would turn out a hundred times better than this!
lastly, a lot of things made no sense to me specifically Ain's ability. if she can regress or make you younger then why the hell doesn't she use it on Z? how the hell did Nami, Robin, Brook and Chopper got back to normal? simply by making Ain faint? and why didn't she use it to melt the ice Kuzan made to trap Z? she used that ability a lot of times to melt the lava and try to hit Zoro, why not melt the ice?
i don't think the movie is all that bad. ITS ONE PIECE. no matter what kind of **** you throw, people will watch it. i just think that the film is overrated.
P.S. (ending song)
i have a feeling that most 80's-90's kid would relate to the ending song/s, the slide show, and Z's flashback. just try not to cry.
when i first saw AVRIL LAVIGNE 'HOW YOU REMIND ME', 'BAD REPUTATION' at the credits i was like What the Flying F, seriously?! i never thought it would go so well with the film's theme! note that i haven't heard neither songs before
i know this doesn't apply to everyone but MY GOD that first song got me good. a few manly tears were shed before i realized how f'd up my life is right now and how it turned the exact opposite of what i wanted it to be a couple of years ago because of some f'd up events that happened to me, just like Z.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Bane the Big Disappointment
Disregarding my little knowledge about the characters and my love for the series, I think this movie is great. That's not the case though. I am a fan of Bane and when I saw him on posters/trailers, it got me really excited. And guess what? The Finale for this Trilogy turned out to be a big pile of disappointment. I'm not saying the film sucks, In fact I think I still got more than what I paid for but it was so focused on LoA and the goddamn bomb! I was expecting Bane to be bad*** as he is in the comics and games. He broke Batman's back and buried him with his parents' remains which was a feat no other villain was capable of. The breaking part was emphasized, but the Bat OVERPOWERING Bane in a fair fist fight? ********. The Bane and Talia tandem was a good idea with the fact that Bane being heir to Ra's Al Ghul, but Talia in love with Bane, not to mention that she's the Final Boss, ************! They would've been an awesome combo making an immortal monster (Bane) but it's all ****ed up now. Bruce retiring at the end was good, making him a hero instead of the usual masked vigilante running way from cops although I think that Blake succeeding him was another ******** because he's a ****ing Cat! Since Dick did not appear in this Trilogy, Azrael replacing Batman would still make better sense (temporary replacement will do) since we have Bane breaking Bruce's back but we've got no choice. Azrael didn't appear either and we only have Blake. All in all, the movie was good considering that it's an alternate universe but I still can't get over what you did with Bane and Talia. It's unforgivable, I was anticipating Batman and Bane's fight the most but this movie let me down but in my opinion it won't be the same for everybody. This film is a must watch.
