my review of the dark knight returns part 2

Well the rest of the dark knight returns pissed me off. They make one big change that ruins the movie for everyone who is a batman fan and I,m sure alot of people will be enraged by this. In the comic book batman has one last fight with the joker and the fight ends by batman breaking the jokers back to the point that he will never be able to walk again. batman does this as a way of making sure the joker can never escape from jail or the nuthouse to ever harm anyone ever again. In the movie batman breaks his biggest rule and that is he kills the joker. Yes batman our hero/dark knight kills the joker. The joker lives long enough to say I win. I,m sorry but batman would never,ever kill anyone even the joker, thats not who batman is and one of the many reasons he does,t use a gun. batman is a good guy, a hero, yes he breaks the law, he roughs up the bad guys but he NEVER KILLS, thats just not his way of doing things. I was shocked and pissed off. How dare they do something like this to one of my favorite comic book heros. In this movie we even see batman fight superman. Batman has made a suit that makes him almost as strong as superman so that it can be a fair fight and guess what batman wins the fight. Yes the dark knight beat the man of steel in a fair fight and batman says to superman I want you to remember who beat you. The movie ends with the death of bruce wayne and we see on a news report that the world finds out that bruce wayne was batman. We see bruce wayne is still alive and is going to start to train his own army of people to be batmen. I did,t like this movie at all and If DC was going to make a movie based on this story then they sould have made the comic into a movie instead of giving us fans this so called movie. I hope one day to see a good movie made from the dark knight returns comic book.

my review of the dark knight returns movie

This new DC comics direct to dvd movie is a 2 part movie and this is a review of part 1. This new movie is based on the best batman story ever written. It,s about a older bruce wayne, who is now in his mid 50s and he retired from being the batman 10 years ago. We are never told why he hung up the cape and mask of batman. Crime is at a alltime high in the city and 2 punks try to mugg bruce wayne and thats what makes him become batman again. This is batman like we never seen him before. the batmoblie is now a tank. I like that we see that batman is older now and that he,s not as fast or quick as he used to be. he,s slow but still strong and is able to still hold his own in a fight with someone younger and stronger then he is. the movie is pretty faithful to the comic book but at the same time changes or leaves things out. If the makers of the movie had stayed true to the comic more the movie would have been better. Peter weller is the vocie of batman. This was the first time in the history of the batman comics that robin is a girl in this story. bruce had some kind of falling out with the original boy wonder and there were other robins after him. the new robin is a fun character in a grim story like this. I,m looking forward to seeing the rest of the movie when part 2 comes out soon.

my review of django unchained

I have to say that Quentin tarantino has done it again and made another excellent movie. I have been a fan of tarantion since I first saw pulp fiction and I now have seen every movie of his in the theatre since jackie brown. This is tarantinos bloodest movie he,s ever made. It,s a western so you have to expect it to be bloody, but the movie is still funny. I have to say that jamie foxx is great and it,s a damn shame that he screwed himself out of a oscar nod. Jamie foxx was on SNL and he went on a rant that cost him any chance of getting a oscar nod. samuel L jackson gives his best performance since pulp fiction and dare I say his best performance of his whole career as a actor. This is the fist time in years we are seeing sam jackson the actor, where in everyother movie he,s been in the last 15 or so years he,s always sam jackson, and we finally get remined of how good a actor he can be when he gets a role like this that demands he better be acting and not be his usually self. I never would have thought we ever see king of the world leonardo dicaprio play a bad guy role like this. leo is a real villian in this movie. I have to say that leo dicaprio gave a excellent performance and I did,t know he had it in him to play this kind of role. I have to say that christoph waltz is excellent and he is so great that he,s one of those rare actors that could read the phone book and I still be speehless at how good he is. If your a tarantion fan then this movie is a must see. I will warn everyone right now that this movie takes place before the civil war so they use the n word alot in this movie. This is also tarantinos longest movie, it,s almost 3 hrs long. I give it 4 stars and hope to mybe see it again before it leaves movie theatres. For you film buffs, there was a western movie that came out in the 1960s called django and the star of that movie has a bit part in this new movie.
