Review: "The Dark Knight Rises movie review"

The wait to the one of the most anticipated movie this year is finally over. And how's it? It is a good conclusion to Nolan's trilogy. Although, this is the third movie in the trilogy, the movie takes its time showing Bruce's hesitation before donning the batman suit again. Everything in this movie seems to be amp up whether or not it is the action or explosion or destruction. It features the best action scenes featured in a Batman movie. Though overlong, it is tense and meaningful and touching at some points and packed with some great action scenes.

The story: Those who are eager to see Batman in the first half and hour will be disappointed as Bruce hesitates to don his suit but they will at least be glad to see some action from Bane and Selina Kyle known as     Catwoman. The movie opens to a thrilling airplane jacking by Bane and his gang. And in the first half and hour, we also get to see Selina showing off some moves. By the time Bane is a threat to Gotham City, Batman appears and fends off them. From there, the pace speeds up as Bane terrorizing the city. Of course there are a lot of things packed in the long 2 hours and 45 minutes and at times, it feels a little bloated. The last hour is tense and the explosive and intense climax is the best ever seen in a Batman movie. Acting is good. The newcomers like Selina, Bane etc. are well-acted. Music by Hans Zimmer is top-notch.

Overall: Is it the best in Nolan's trilogy? I can't say although it is better than The Dark Knight. To tell the truth, The Dark Knight is good but not a masterpiece. I think I am the few who enjoyed Batman Begins more than The Dark Knight. The action in this is better and it is more tense than the second movie. With Nolan concluding his trilogy, I look forward another version of Batman in future.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...
