Nolan has practically perfected the way Batman is portrayed on the big screen, with Batman Begins (a very good movie) and The Dark Knight (a dark masterpiece). So obviously, he has a very tough act to follow with his new film, due in July of next summer. Nolan said this new film will be the conclusion of a trilogy, so I look forward to seeing what he does with the story and the characters.
My obvious concern for the film is that it will be the next Spider-man 3. For those of you who have seen the films, you know what I'm talking about. The first Spider-man film was quite good and the second one was the best superhero movie ever as of 2004 until, I think, Batman Begins topped it in 2005. Then the third movie came out and due to a poor script and numerous other problems, the film was a disappointment. While it wasn't totally terrible, it just wasn't as good as the first two and provided a very weak story. Let's hope Nolan can avoid that pitfall.
For those of you who haven't seen Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, I would have to say that you really should. These are the kind of movies that I think everyone should see, even if they don't like them.
For those of you who are fans of Nolan's Batman films, my younger brother found this new poster online, and, if you haven't seen it, I've also posted the teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Very promising, I think!
I can't wait!
I promise, after this film is out, then I'll join in all the hype for The Hobbit.
I know it doesn't say a whole lot, but I read somewhere that Gary Oldman(Commissioner Gordon) said that the script is better than The Dark Knight. That is a lot of hype to live up to!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty excited for this movie too. The first two were so good and making this one live up to those will be tough, but I can't wait to see it.
