The Dark Knight Rises Review







      The sequel to Christopher Nolan's epic does not disappoint.  Every second of the insanely long 161 minutes is a thrill ride sure to make the books. If you haven't seen the first two, I highly encourage it, with many references to them, and the story doesn't fit into place right if you haven't. The Dark Knight continues to awe us with special effects and raw action. But this time around the story is really why TDKR takes the throne for best Batman movie ever. Never in a movie had I really cared about the villain, and the emotion between Alfred and Bruce Wayne completely caught me off guard. I never thought Batman's world could be brought to a higher scale after The Dark Knight. Well, I was wrong. The Dark Knight Rises blows every other super hero movie out of the water. Yes the movie is long, but for people who think it will just drag on, their wrong. The longer the better, I say. It just keeps getting bigger and a deeper story. This movie will go down in history as " The Greatest Batman Movie Ever"

I give Batman an 9.5/10

Men in Black 3 Review

        MIB (or Men in Black) has always been a comedy that pushes the limits of its hysteria. Aliens are real, they live in secret here on earth, and there is a secret government agency called the Men in Black. Will Smith is a natural at comedy, and MIB brings out the best of him. MIB 3 has some more twists about aliens here on earth and will get you laughing about how far they really went with this movie. Basic story line, Boris the Animal was locked away in prison 40 years ago by agent K. He escaped out of prison, stole a time travel device, and killed agent K before he could be thrown in prison. Agent J (Will Smith) now has go back in time to save agent K, and save the entire planet from an alien invasion. If you like to see bugs crawling through aliens hands, and beautiful stunts and effects, all at the same time laughing at their rare humor, then you will enjoy this film.

I give MIB 3 an 8/10

Marvel: The Avengers Review

         Marvel has had some stinkers, and some successes. Thor was a little over the top dramatic, and Captain America took itself too seriously. With all the hype for The Avengers the past several months, I wasn't sure what to expect. I went to the mid-night premier, and it was astonishing. I feel almost sorry for the people who didn't have the chance to enjoy that kind of atmosphere. From die hard nerds shrieking when their favorite character came on the screen, to missing almost 10 minutes of dialogue due to laughter. The conversations with the actors were just as good as the hard core fight scenes with Thor and The Hulk throwing each other through walls. Jokes were surprising, effects were breathtaking, and the mid-night experience was worth while. If you didn't like the previous Marvel movies with the super heroes in there own movies, you should still see The Avengers. They took themselves less seriously, and the whole experience was a lot of fun.

I rate it a 9/10

Puss in Boots Review

       Let me just stop and say that Puss in Boots is no doubt a movie made for children. But when looking at it from a chlids point of view, which I am still a "child", you will find this movie very entertaining and delightful. It's very fun to see so many children books storys all jammed backed into one animated feature film. From Jack and Jill, to Humpty Dumpty, the twists never stop coming, and what you thought you might know from these storys, will undoubtedly be wrong. The twists and turns is what this whole movie is about, and it is a good one. Whether your 7 years old and know these characters from Shrek, or your 33 taking your 7 year old to see it, your sure to have lots of laugh-out-loud fun and zero dissapointment. I give this movie a 8.5/10

Hugo the movie, Review


         Hugo was an interesting movie full of surprises. It was not what i was expecting, and honestly that is a good thing. Very unpredictable to the very end. The majority of the movie was set in inside walls of a train station, having hugo run up and down reparing clocks, because his uncle was always too drunk to do his own job. In order to survive, he must steal foo...d from local shops in the station, and avoid the detection of the train warden (as i like to call him). The entire movie revolved around a mysterious broken machine called a " motomoton". This particular one was designed to right a message, and Hugo Cabree belived it was a secret message from his father, who died a few years back. During Hugo's journey, he meets a new friend, who helps him along his quest, only to find that she has the missing key he's been looking for all along. The movie was a new idea, and full of good surprises, but lacked the appropriate climax needed to fullfill anticapation of the first half of the movie. I do recomend you see this movie, just dont have too high of expectations. I give it a 8/10
