The Dark Knight Rises, but is it worth watching?


Christopher Nolan’s final Batman flick is gritty, it’s mesmerizing, and boy is it ambitious. It makes for a fantastic and fitting ending, but it never reaches the heights or intrigue of the previous film, The Dark Knight. At times it loses itself to murkiness, and although fun to watch Bane lacks the proper amount of Menace that the Joker easily exuded.

It has been eight years since the Joker’s Reign of Terror tore through Gotham City, eight years since Harvey Dent was pushed over the edge, and eight years since Batman took the fall for a crime he never committed, since he ran , because that was what the city thought it needed. The great city of Gotham has never really fully embraced their caped crusader, but now he’s nothing more than a bittersweet memory.

Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has become a recluse, locking himself away from his beloved city, and allowing everything to fall into disrepair he once supported, until a pretty cat burglar and a masked madman threaten the very safety that Wayne sacrificed so much for.

The hulk-like Bane (Tom Hardy) plans to liberate the people of Gotham from their government’s tyranny, bringing about plunging stocks, the loss of Wayne’s entire fortune and pure anarchy. Meanwhile Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) toes the line between light and dark, being ever adaptable to every situation at hand.
While this bulks up the story, the villainous elements cannot compare to the sheer brilliance of Heath Ledger’s Joker. Part of the issue with Bane, is the elaborate mask that covers most of Tom Hardy’s face hampering his performance. Hardy is fantastic, don’t get me wrong, no one could have made the character better, but between his sometimes hard to understand dialogue, and asthmatic breathing he lacks a certain scare factor. Yes he’s a different sort of villain than we’ve seen before, he’s smart AND physical, but there’s not nearly enough intensity.

However, nearly every scene between Bale and Hathaway’s Bruce and Selina Kyle/Cathwoman exude fireworks. She’s less catlike, more acrobatic, she’s fierce and assertive with all the fun and playfulness of the comics without all the cheesiness that we’ve seen from some of her predecessors. In fact, there is so much charisma between the two of them, that Wayne’s actual love interest Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) is bland and unimpressive by comparison. The fact that Wayne and Tate hook up makes absolute no sense, and leaves one scratching their head in confusion.

The most moving scenes remain between Wayne and the always loyal Alfred (Michael Caine). While Bale continues to superbly portray the tortured hero of the story, Caine injects so much soul that its heart wrenching when certain truths are revealed.

And there’s also Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s detective John Blake who’s introduced. He’s wonderfully interjected into the storyline, with enough backstory, and enough charisma that the audience cares about him so much that he has spin-off potential. I'm not sure if it was just good writing, or superb acting on Gordon-Levitt's part, but Blake is almost as mesmerizing as the Bat himself.

Speaking of mesmerizing, while Liam Neeson's return was much touted and talked about, seeing Ra's Al Ghul's reemergence isn't nearly as fun as Cillian Murphy's return. Sure Ra's Al Ghul is a more integral part to the story, but the Scarecrow swinging a gavel injects just a little craziness, perfectly illustrating just how far Gotham has fallen.

Nolan is known for intelligent scripts, for making his audience really think, and all of this is on full display here. It is very long and very complicated. But more over there is a pure cinematic beauty of the movie. From sweeping landscapes, to pure destruction, each shot is artfully framed, and complimented by the music. Hans Zimmer’s musical score is so very powerful, even in the eerie quiet, its intense.

"A hero can be anyone," says Bale as Batman. But it’s going to be a long time before anyone is as pitch perfect as Bale is as the caped crusader, or a saga is better told than this one by Nolan. As many fears and doubts that I had, it is a complete and satisfying ending to the story Nolan started. Bravo boys, what a way end a legend. 

Journey 2 Review and Featurette

I caught an early screening of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, and I have to say I enjoyed myself. Granted I was with a 5 year-old and she enjoyed herself but even without her delightful giggles the movie wasn't half bad.

There was a Jurassic Park feel with wonderment, the lush landscape, the giant lizard, eggs, and the kooky old man with his big dreams. But this was no Jurassic Park. It was a whole lot of fun, and the Rock, I mean, Dwayne Johnson played up the embarassing stepdad bit, but it was a little too forced, there were too many bad special effects (not that there weren't good ones, but the bad ones really stuck out), and where the hell was Uncle Trevor (Brendan Fraser)? He couldn't free up a second for a cameo? They couldn't mention him at all?

So the movie picks up with Sean (Josh Hutcherson) running from the cops. He's doing the whole teenage rebellion thing, breaking and entering, and crashing his motorbike into a pool. His new stepfather retrieves him, and later finds out that Sean was boosting his radio signal so he could get a message from his long lost crack-pot grandfather (Michael Caine). Hank seeing the opportunity to bond with his stepson helps him crack the code which lead them to Stevenson's Treasure Island, Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Verne's Mysterious Island, and of course results in the coordinates for the island. The two set out for the island of Palau, which is the closest to the coordinates.

In Palau no one wants to go anywhere near the coordinates, except for the slightly insane helicopter pilot Gabby (Luis Guzman), whose daughter Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens) catches Sean's eye, and Hank is the one left paying big time.

A crazy storm, which no meterologist seems to have ever seen, but obviously the locals know about since they avoid the area, brings the copter  down, and everyone survives without a scratch, now time for that amazing factor. The island is full of wonders, where small is big, and big is small. The whole big is small is wonderful with the tiny elephants, one of which I would have certainly stolen, but the small is big part kinda suck, which results in a gooey bath, and running from a giant lizard.

They find Grandpa, he shows them some great wonders, and Atlantis, which you knew was coming since Sean showed a clue for its location to his Uncle at the end of the previous flick, but that's right we're not mentioning Uncle Trevor. There's friction between Grandpa and Hank which is a little weird since he's kinda estranged, but that's not the real problem. A golden volcano is erupting and the island is getting ready to return to the sea, which Grandpa was smart enough to find, but apparently not smart enough to see the signs of its rapid sinking. So much for finding Atlantis. From there its a great race to find Captain Nemo's Nautilus and get the heck out of there, which of course will take them through the heart of the Island, ie the most dangerous part of the island (see anyone else having another Jurassic Park flashback).

The action is quickly paced and the adventure is thrilling. Guzman offers much of the comedic relief, you can't help but to laugh at Gabby, and yes its most definitely laughing at him not with him. Johnson and Caine also have their fair share of comedy with their odd couple chemistry, though Johnson is fairly funny on his own. I will honestly not soon forget the Peck pop of love, or the thunder cookie, hilarious.

And as I said before some of the special effects just look downright bad. I'm not sure if its the 3-D that takes away from the effects, but some of the worse effects are during the Bee VS. Bird scenes. Overall the movie is a lot of fun. The kids are going to love it, and since it's completely set up for a third one, I'm sure we'll be seeing a moon adventure soon.
