Just got back from a late screening of the latest Batman movie, and gotta say, even if you're not a Batman fan, the film is still definately worth catching! Christian Bale reprises his role and Batman, Anne Hathaway stars as Catwoman (Mroawrrr!), Gary Oldman comes back as Commisoner Gordon and God stars as Lucius Fox... oh wait, that's Morgan Freeman! Did i mention Qui Gon Jinn makes a cameo?
Well, the main baddie this time round is BANE.. the one who broke the bat's back. When i first saw the pics of Bane from the web, i was kinda dissapointed it was not the gaint raging behemoth pumped full of Venom, who looked like he could rip you in half with his bare hands! But after watching the movie, this iteration of Bane kinda stands out on his own. He's a more calculative, cold and thinking kind of killer.. and strong too, Batman didn't really stand a chance facing him one on one.
There's more vehicles on display too... seeing the batpod in action really makes me feel like getting the HT one! Also, the milspec Tumblers and "THE BAT" are all cool in their own way.
Pacing of the movie is pretty good, even though the movie was over 2 hrs long (coming to 3), there wasn't any really slow part which made you think 'c'mon let's get this show going!', it's all a slow build up to a rather satisfying finale which involved tons of extras pretending to fight each other! :p
This is definately a satisfying conclusion the this Trilogy. Personally i feel part 2 was superior (Thanks to the late Heath Ledger), but in no way was this part bad or a letdown... like maybe Return of the Jedi? :p
Now Hot Toys, quick release the Catwoman fig! :p
Cool you caught DKR ! Yeah - in the game Bane was like some monster on steroids ! Interesting how Nolan weaved the story... surprised that Ras Al Ghul makes a cameo.. I thought he died in Batman Begins ! Although I can't picture Anne Hathway as Cat Woman cos' I keep thinking of her in Devil Wears Prada lol... maybe its Catwoman wears Prada lol...
