Why does everyone love this movie!
9 May 2013
Warning: Spoilers
For sure, the dark night was a masterpiece, funny, scary, enthralling, twists, turns, and possibly the best acting from a movie villain that I have ever seen. So why do people think this movie is better?

Okay I understand that fir people that know nothing about batman this movie is entertaining, how could it not be with all the special effects. But did anyone else feel like this movie was really, really predictable.

So going into the movie we obviously knew it would be Nolan's last Batman. I was apprehensive. But then pretty much 20-30 mins in straight away oh great! The cop is robin. But lets tell them at the end because only 2/3 of the audience already know who robin is. And worst of all the ending, please no one say they thought Batman was going to die, or even that you didn't know he would retire with Anne. That was nicely set up by Alfred midway into the feature.

Finally, Bane, Bane, Bane. I understand the monumental task of trying to compete with the joker, but I believe he well and truly failed. I was not convinced at all by Bane at any point in the movie and was disappointed by the villain.

In Conclusion, sure it's probably worth a watch if you find yourself needing to waste 3 hours. But unfortunately, it was very obvious and with a poorly written and cast villain, so for me I'm afraid it just goes down as another disappointing end to what could have been a great trilogy.

In Time (2011)
8/10
In Short, Thoroughly Entertaining.
9 May 2013
I don't know about you but looking down at the reviews there seem to be an overwhelming amount of negative responses. I was completely disheartened by this.

In my opinion, In Time was an original well written and well acted and truly thought provoking production and I loved it. The fact that it subtly questioned our morality and made us question real world issues such as poverty and political stance was just one of the things that made me love this movie.

To the people who dislike the feature and to those negative reviews which I have read I have a few responses. Firstly, I saw a point about not enough back story into the body clock. The first thought that struck me was really? The movie is not centred around the body clock, and furthermore throughout the film we are told of its uses and get to a fairly good understanding to how it works. Do you not agree that any more back story would waste time and most likely just bore the typical viewer? Finally to those who disliked the acting and script I strongly disagree. I though both Justin and Amanda played there parts very well and there chemistry was as good as any action film I have scene.

I would highly recommend this film to anyone, and suggest if you haven't already seen it you should definitely make some time if you think you will enjoy this movie.
