Glad to see that the Batman movie has had good previews.Im off to see it next week . What I thought was going to be a promising year for movies is proving to be a tad disappointing for my taste.

Just came back from Comic Con International. They showed clips from Iron Man 3 and the villian definitely is the Mandarin played by Ben Kingsley. They said they haven't even filmed the action sequences yet and they finished US location shooting. So that means most of the action sequences will take place in China.
Just watched The Dark Knight Rises. I thought it was a very good film although its many characters makes it hard to remember them all. Its ending is unthinkable, I won't ruin it. The main villain Bane is actually human and can be related to, unlike the not-of-this-world Joker who's mind is incomprehensible.

Well its triggered a couple of real life wierdos into a killing spree at the films premiere in a American city. 10 killed fity wounded at last count.
Yeah 
14 people dead at latest count.
anyway I just watched it thought it was really good.
like a widely distribted pic has been claiming, TDKR to the dark knight is what return fo the jedi was to empire strikes back -- still a great achievement of filmmaking and very satisfying conclusion to a story, but not quite reaching its predecessor's heights (coming quite damn clsoe however)

Yup for me its made up for a rather disappointing movie year. I cant figure out why they wanted to make a spiderman reboot.The fact that it was a reboot, lost my interest.What do you think of "Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Hunter?"
As an afterthought I don't think it was as good as the second Batman film.

For me coming from my film school perspective, the Dark Knight was a terrifically structured movie. So may things were going on and they served a purpose in the end. That being said even though I enjoyed The Dark Knight Rises, I have to say it was a little lazy. Really... cops stuck in a sewer for months and they come out nearly as clean as the day they went in? The fist fighting could've been better. If their punches and kicks can break concrete, the fight scenes should've been far from normal.
China is releasing The Dark Knight Rises the same day as The Amazing Spider-Man. In that battle I would assume Spider-Man wins. I wonder if the commies are trying to stick it to Christian Bale.

I will definitely try to see the last installment of the Dark Knight Rises movie. But my favorite Sci-fi and movie this summer so far is Prometheus. It's a prequel to the "Alien" movie (Ridley Scott directed both of them) and it's well written and mysterious at the same time. To me there are far too many comic book characters movie out there, that it's no longer exciting to watch because the story lines and plot are all the same.
