The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Review

The Right Ending to a Spectacular trilogy !



When Watching 'The Dark Knight' in 2008, I thought by far this is one of the best superhero films ever made and stayed very true to the Batman law, with the characters and how they developed during the film. Basically the film set a high standard for itself, now comes along the sequel 'The Dark Knight Rises', equally as good as the last film. One of the great things that Christopher Nolan did in this series of films is that he got back a superb cast of Actors. Christian Bale once again delivers with his powerful voice as Batman, Michael Cain also delivered as Alfred the Butler, However I thought the new people that came in, Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Salina Kyle/Catwoman, did very well in their performances. I thought the characters synchronised with each other perfectly and definitely well written. Also to add as well, is that during the film, you could feel the emotion and the hurt which was Hollow which I loved about the Batman.
Another good factor about this film was definitely the action, especially when we see the Batman and Bane face off for the first time, you get a sense of tension ravaging through your body while watching the sequence, this is why this film is unique, you wouldn't know it was a superhero film at times as well and by saying that, it is actually one of the best superhero films. Unlike the joker in the last film, Bane delivers something different towards the Batman which is ferocity and Physical strength and you do get the idea in your head and doubt that, how can Batman win against something like Bane, which I loved about the film. To conclude,Even though the last film 'The Dark Knight' did set a high standard of greatness, 'The Dark Knight Rises' has matched it's older brother on some level in terms of following the law and tension that Batman stories bring. This is undoubtedly one of the best superhero film's and sequels to an excellent trilogy which is worthy to always re-watch, Christopher Nolan has done A fantastic job with The Batman iteration 

9/10 Alex Rabbitte.

Ghost in the Shell (1995) Film Review

An Anime For The Masses? If there's one thing to note in relation to the films that are shown today and the many different film-making practises that are utilised, it's how much directors 'pay homage' to other works that have come to print their mark on this lauded artistic medium. As much as film-makers of this generation are trying to be distinctive and different from the auteurs that have come and gone, it's easy to notice just how much some of the most iconic moments, narratives and scenes in cinema history have been inspired by the films that have come before them. A noticeable example of this happening, is by looking through Darren Aronofsky's pieces of Requiem For a Dream and Black Swan  and how much both of these films instrument scenes and contextual themes from Satoshi Kon's Japanese Animation of Perfect Blue . This however, isn't the only anime film in recent memory which has had its thematic and formal constructs been extracted towar...

An Americanisation That Aims To Charm... In viewing many adaptations over the years that have derived from many different levels of literature, there's a big difference between the books that people read and films that purposefully aim to entertain in terms of the audience. Whereas, arguably, books have distinguishable levels that appropriate towards many different demographics, the whole premise of filmic entertainment is that it's meant to relate to all age-groups; despite what the particular film might be interpreted as. From the vast array of Disney related titles to the ever-growing expanses of the superhero genre, we can interpret film as a medium that has the capacity to encroach towards a broader scale. Being that books vary in relation to the multitude of differentiating genre's and specific readers that are metaphysically intertwined, it's no wonder that, along with superhero re-imaginations, book adaptations are generally hard to be re-worked purposefu...

Pokemon Silver Game Review

Where it all started... There's really nothing quite like it when you relive a game that was forever in your interests as a child. While there were numerous games that me and my older brothers played countless amounts of times, games such as FIFA, Timesplitters, Mario Kart 64/Super Mario 64 and many others, the game that not only peaked everyone's interest at the time but served to be the 1st genuine game that I had properly played through, was Pokemon Silver. Despite these first Pokemon Blue/Red belonging to my older brothers, leaving me and the other brother of mine helplessly watching along, at the time it was just as addicting watching people play the game since it was a GameBoy head-title that had so much mystery, secrets and replay-ability within it. This would prove to be the same when I first played Pokemon Silver where not only were there more secrets and trinkets that kept me glued to catching more of these creatures and obtaining more badges, but was a vast im...
