MOVIE REVIEW: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

The End of an Era is upon us. Has Christopher Nolan given a fitting
conclusion to this Epic Trilogy..? Find out below...


WHAT ITS ABOUT: In the DC universe, its been 8 years since the events
of The Dark Knight. Its peace time in Gotham city or so it seems.
Bane, a former member of the League of Shadows shows up to achieve the
same goals Ra's Al Ghul tried to achieve, the destruction of Gotham.
He calls himself Gotham's reckoning and wears a mask that supply him
with pain-killers to numb the immense pain that runs through his body.


On the other hand Bruce Wayne(Christian Bale) has shut himself off
from the world due to severe injuries that he has suffered during his
Escapades as Batman. He calls himself "Retired" but eventually he will
have to don the Dark Knight garb again.! Plus there is a new Superhero in
town, Anne Hathaway enters the fray as Catwoman.! Will our favorite
Caped Crusader be able save Gotham in time or will the Maniacal
Monster Bane prevail ? Im not spoiling that, you have to watch the movie
to find out.


WHAT'S GOOD: There is only One way Chris Nolan does it...Grand..! The
story is Brilliant and Riveting. Every moment makes you wonder what
will happen next. There are no slow or boring moments. The action just
keeps on coming. Dialogues are exceptional. You get goose-bumps when
Anne Hathaway(Selina Kyle/Catwoman) says "There's a Storm Coming, Mr.
Wayne" and your heart misses a beat when Tom Hardy(Bane) says "When
Gotham is in Ashes, you have my Permission to Die". Speaking of Tom
Hardy, I must say he is the Highlight of TDKR. With slow, Articulate
dialogue delivery, intimidating Body language and Immense screen
presence, Bane is one Scary dude.! All these qualities make him the
perfect villain.


Christian Bale(Bruce Wayne/Batman) gives his Best
performance to date. Anne Hathaway is 'decent' as the Sly Seductress.
Liam Neeson makes an appearance and is as cool as ever. There is never
a dull moment in the movie. I have to applaud Hans Zimmer for the
Amazing soundtrack for TDKR. It plays throughout the movies and suits
the slick storyline. As for the popular debate of Avengers Vs. Dark
Knight, I'd say TDKR has the edge. I'd like to think that the success of TDKR was marred by the very unfortunate Colorado Shooting.


WHATS BAD: Honestly, I couldnt find anything bad about this movie.


VERDICT: TDKR is a Phenomenal conclusion to Chris Nolan's Epic Batman
Saga. Thank you Mr. Nolan for reminding us why we love Superheroes.
The Legend Ends, An Era Ends..!

MOVIE REVIEW: AVENGERS (2012)

We've been waiting for this for years now and its finally here,
setting records around the globe. The Avengers assembled in theatres
on April 27. Does it live up to its expectations or does it exceed
them..? Find out below....


WHAT ITS ABOUT:-
The movie is about Loki(Tom Hiddleston) The God of Mischief getting
his hands on the Tesseract which is an unlimited source of energy and
trying to do what any other good super-villain aspires to do, take
over the world.


Loki also deals with Thanos an alien army chief of sorts and hires his
army to wreak havoc on the earth. Soon he finds out that he picked the
wrong planet to mess with. S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury(Samuel
"Goddamn" Jackson) tries to assemble a team of remarkable people
consisting of Iron Man/Tony Stark(Robert Downey Jr.), Thor(Chris
Hemsworth), Bruce Banner/Hulk(Mark Ruffalo), Captain America(Chris
Evans), Black Widow(Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye(Jeremy Renner). As
their egos collide and personalities clash, they act like a
dysfunctional family. Will they learn to work together or will they
just act like a time bomb that Mark Ruffalo describes them as ?


WHATS GOOD:-
(deep breath) Something I really liked about this movie is that every
character is given equal time and importance. Most of these characters
have had their own movies and have been properly introduced to the
audience. Each Character is distinct and seeing them clash is a treat.


You will enjoy seeing them fight with each other, almost as much as
youll enjoy seeing them fight the bad guys. They have tried to
establish Captain America as the leader but Tony Stark is the man who
runs the show. He is the most entertaining character, verbally
whipping everyone in his path while staying lovable and relatable. The
dialogues are smart and well written. When Nick Fury says "We are
officially at War" you know some serious shit is going to go down.


Everyone has acted superbly even Mark Ruffalo about whom I had
reservations. You can see a lot of his face in the Hulk. Chris Evans
also plays his part well as the clueless Super-Soldier. Chris
Hemsworth has also fit quite comfortably in his Thunder-God shell. You
will laugh your pants during the Superhero banter. A scene between
Loki and Hulk will have you in spilts. The story is well written and
executed. It is a steady continuation of the events that occurred in
the previous Marvel movies and ties all loose ends.


The 3D graphics are top notch and will have you on the edge of your
seats. When Hawkeye shoots an arrow you could swear its going through
your head.! The action is as slick as the dialogues.


WHATS BAD:- I dont mean to disrespect the movie by adding this section
but theres one thing I didnt like. That little chink in the armour is
the treatment of Captain America. I mean, everyone is given their
chance to shine even a useless character like Hawkeye while Captain
America does nothing but banter with Tony Stark and find a new love
interest.


VERDICT: Avengers is a fun filled action movie which you DONT want to
miss. Watch it for Captain America's No-Nonsense ass whuppin Grit,
Watch it for Tony Stark's Almighty Manic Mouth and Stainless Heroics,
Watch it for Thor's Lovely Golden locks and Badass Hammer, Watch it
for Samuel Jackson's cool eye-patch and constant swearing and finally
watch it for Hulk's well, SMASHING..!!

FIRST TRAILER OF THE AVENGERS RELEASED BY MARVEL

Marvel has finally released the official trailer for the Avengers. The movie unites several superheroes like The Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawk-eye, Thor and S.H.I.E.L.D head Nick fury.

The movies stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johanson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce banner/The Hulk) and Samuel Jackson (Nick Fury). With such a huge starcast its apparently one of the most anticipated movies of 2012.

After the movies like Iron man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America we saw teases of what to expect in the Avengers. The trailer uses the song "We're in this Together" by Nine Inch Nails which cannot be more appropriate. The villain seems to be Tom Hiddleston who plays Loki the God of Mischief and Thor's brother.

I personally cant wait for this movie. Check out the trailer below.
