I’m not ready to jump on the bandwagon of The Dark Knight Rises. Before I get
labeled a hater or someone who badmouths Hollywood movies for the sake of it,
let me point out I was a big fan of both Inception
and The Dark Knight. It is true I
dislike most big budget action films, but not for the sake of setting myself
apart from the masses. It’s because they are so often so bad. The world was
geared up to love The Dark Knight Rises.
It’s been built up immensely. Everyone – not just Christopher Nolan and Warner
Bros. – has significant investment in its success. If you hate the third part,
what does that say about your love for the first two? We are primed to enjoy
this final chapter in the trilogy. I’m afraid my primer didn’t take.
A blog mostly dedicated to cinema (including both new and old film reviews; commentary; and as the URL suggests - movie lists, although it has been lacking in this area to be honest), but on occasion touching on other areas of personal interest to me.
