Okay I finally figured out the issues with the website. One of the blogs is bugged due to the blog being disabled for spam. So now that that is fixed, this will be the first post that isn't an introduction.
As mentioned previously, this blog is about entertainment in general. I recently saw The Dark Knight Rises and I will post my thoughts and opinions on it, as well as a brief background.
The Dark Knight Rises is the 3rd and final installment of the new revitalized Batman series. The first being Batman Begins and the 2nd being the Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight Rises takes place 8 years after Batman vanished as a result of the conclusion of the Dark Knight. The city is seemingly clear of crime but is now falling into the grip of the terrorist Bane, who was taught under the same person as Batman.
Now, my thoughts. I am a great fan of this series as I believe the original Batman movies were too clean and bright for movies about a hero who dresses up in a bat suit and blends into the nights. With this revitalized series, everything is much darker, which suits my tastes all the better.
Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was the highlight of the Dark Knight and was a tough act to follow for Tom Hardy, the actor who plays Bane. However I believe his performance was a very good follow up to Ledger's. His voice was both sophisticated but psychotic, and perfect for witty one liners.
The storyline is unexpected and strong at the start and end, the middle however it tends to lengthen a bit, but is none the less entertaining and action packed. The plot itself is strong too, with Bane's mysterious background being explored throughout the story, becoming a sub-story to the plot. Catwoman introduced as an unpredictable anti-hero is also a welcome change.
In conclusion: I loved it and would recommend it. It was an awesome finale to the popular series.
