Big dumb fun, does what it says on the tin. I fell asleep after the first few minutes and woke up again just before the first action scene, but I don't think I missed anything important. Overall a fun watch, could have done with some more one-liners though.
The Snowtown Murders. 5/10 The film is very disturbing ( and based on a true story) , but fails to remain coherent. It's a shame because the acting was good and it feels like your watching real footage.
A solid, suspenseful thriller that seems reminiscent of the works of Hitchcock in my personal opinion. Christian Bale completely inhabits his role and proves why he's one of the best in the industry.

World War Z. Loved it even more the second time. Easily my third favorite film of the year behind Man of Steel and 42. The music in it is so phenomenal
This is my second wiewing since in the theaters last summer.
Yeah, Bane's "Connery-voice" is corny (although Hardy was great as a whole performance of Bane), and the Batvoice is a bit annoying. The ending with Bats flying the bomb is also somewhat confusing (and yeah, I got that little line from Lucuios Fox ..).
Well, there's some other things here I don't like:
Talia's character should've been better developed since she's a classic character in the Batman mythos (as a reader of the early Neal Adams' stuff, I was disappointed). And yes, her death WAS laguhable, such a waste of an actress of Cottillard's calibre. AND, Talia and Bane should be separete villians, period!
Blake turning into like; Robin, Nigthwing, second Batman or whatever, "everybody can be Batman", that's just going against the character of Batman. But JGL was great though as the young hungry hero-cop.
But as a whole this is a great cinema adventure. Hathaway is awesome, and I just wish we would've seen more of her Catowman character; And this is coming from a cinema visitor that was impressed by Pheiffer back in -92. And of course Caine, Oldman, Murphy etc are totally amazing as well. Quite cool also that Scarecrow is the only villian that made it through the trilogy.
Nolans TDK trilogy is very interesting, and with a great and fun cast. But now I'm ready for a completety different Batman in the next installment (be it JLA, Worlds finest, solo Batman or whatever). And no more clumsy rubber suits, please?
I rank the Nolan Bat-flicks in their release order:
1. Batman Begins
2. The Dark Knight (Heath's stunningly amazing Joker performance made it very close to number 1, but I still prefer the story of Begins)
3. The Dark Knight Rises
Perfect traditional summer time viewing
8/10-The best of the Jaws sequels with some great scenes
6.5/10-Forgot how bad this one was, still has some pretty awesome parts though.
10/10-Pure Classic
9/10-One of the best sequels to a classic film of all time
8/10-Still a great film, but the western setting takes me out of the world the first two created which has a different vibe, overall still one of the best third films in a trilogy of all time.

While true, it also happens in the same place from the first 2 movies, the clock tower, the dinner/saloon in that same corner, etc. Is just doesn't feel that way, but it provides continuity. I also think the series needed some fresh air, to explore other times (since well...they have a time machine!), and doing that in a past-Hill Valley was a great choice. The picture of Marty and Doc with the clock, the one that's so pivotal in the trilogy, is a great example of how everything wrap things nicely.
That trilogy is in my heart, is the closest thing to what I really like about cinema.
My favorite movies of all time.
