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.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Film Review

A visual beast with a dark bite: Why it's considered the best of the bunch? Undoubtedly, one trait that a long running film franchise upholds, is the way in which it tries to re-imagine and betters itself, whilst keeping a familiar formula that audiences can engage and relate with. Over the many years of their own filmic existence, on-going film series in the forms of James Bond and Batman for example, have each always embodied and maintained a familiar structure that over the years, has always been re-adjusted and moulded by different directors and auteurs. Batman especially, with its radical transformation from Tim Burton's 90's renditions to Christopher Nolan's hyper-realistic re-telling of the caped-crusader, is a clear indication of how much a franchise or a well-known singular-fictional character can morph into something completely different. The Harry Potter filmic series is no different; with the 3rd instalment, The Prisoner of Azkaban , crafted by Alfons

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Film Review

All good things, must come to an end... While it is already a long time since its origin, next year will mark 20 years when a story about a young boy-wizard, growing up and prevailing against darkness, took shape in the form of a book for many children and adults to be engrossed in. Indeed, J.K. Rowling's much favoured 'The Philosopher Stone' book, published in 1997, sparked a generation of young-readers to be enthralled in a thrilling story that had mystery, adventure and 'magic'. While it can't be questioned to deny that Rowling provided me, and lots of other people similar-age, a literary upbringing that accomplished many things, the filmic legacy, which was brought about with Rowling selling the Potter rights to Warner Bros. in 1999, would prove to be just as popular and as imperative in parading the Harry Potter name. To put it simply, this praised and lauded film franchise is nothing like anything on one has ever seen before. Despite not comparing i

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Film Review

A slight bump on the wizarding road?! Being that the previous filmic entry in the form of The Prisoner of Azkaban , directed by Alfonso Cuaron, was the first Harry Potter film, in that time, to have delved into the more 'dark' nature of the stories through excessive yet successful visual means, it was only natural then, that we would gradually see more of these dark tropes and a much more serious story being fleshed out, in Mike Newell's Harry Potter iteration of The Goblet of Fire . With fearsome creatures, casual murder and a character hacking off their own hand in a peculiar yet odd satanic ritual, indeed, The Goblet of Fire  goes far and beyond from the light-hearted Columbus productions, to a film that matures itself through serious horror/thriller cinematic approaches. It was no wonder parents, at the time of this films release in 2005, were conflicted on whether or not they should permit there own child in watching an edgy Potter, rated 12A, that could potenti
