BATMAN - Bad Acting, Terrible Movie, and NOLAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!!

So... to many of you out there this isn't going to be a pleasant thing... that is of course on the provision that you read this.


So I've just come back from seeing The Dark Knight Rises and as I predicted... Nolan did it again... he took something and trashed it for the sake of box office reviews.


Almost from start to finish I found this film unbearably average and not the critically acclaimed, film of the year as everyone seems to be designating it.


I don't want to go too far into parts of it because of spoilers in case anyone reads this and hasn't seen it yet. So instead I'll focus on the issues that annoyed me.


1) YOU CANT JUST FUCKING ADD CHARACTERS INTO AN ESTABLISHED UNIVERSE!!!! My GOD Nolan this isn't some scribbled out film like Inception where you can just throw in new characters here and there...


2) WHAT THE FUCK is up with Bane's voice!!! He sounds like Sean Connery with fucking throat cancer :|


3) Bane's Mask... BULLSHIT!!!


4) Christian Bale... can't act simple...

5) The ending... I know you have to wrap up at some point but like that? ¬¬


6) Gotham in the day time... Should never be done...


7) Changing iconic parts of characters because it suits you... IS NOT COOL!!!


I can't think of anything else at the minute... but as I've also just found out that Nolan is also writing the screenplay to Man Of Steel (Superman 2013 Movie) I can only guess that he's going to somehow fuck that up as well and everyone is going to be completely in love with this as well...


My feelings for the "Nolanverse" Batman Franchise are very clear... as for Film Of The Year?


Still giving it to the Marvel Comics, Box Office Smash.


Avengers Assemble...
Can't Compete With Stan Lee...


I wish I could express my hatred of Nolan with an audio clip of Sheldon Cooper shouting Nolan like he does Wheaton, but I cant :(

Change in format...

So i was watching House, M.D the other day and i decided that i was under using the blogging purpose... This is going to be used more as a diary for myself tbh... so might be day to day might be weekly... dunno yet...

Check back later :)

Amazing Spiderman

Well, I finally saw Amazing Spiderman today and I have to say I was impressed :)... I much prefer this story to the ones directed by Sam Raimi... (not that I didn't enjoy those).  I was glad to see that the cliché Spidey villain wasn't used and that he built the web shooters :)

And in TRUE Marvel style... I stayed till the end of the credits. (Hint: ALWAYS stay to the end of the credits with ANY superhero film :) there could be more) nice to see that they're leading into and hinting at a possible sequel already depending on fan reaction.  It could end up being the next Iron Man in which it does really well or the next Green Lantern in which case it doesn't.... Not that I understand why Green Lantern didn't do well i thought it was perfect and that Ryan Reynolds played an excellent Hal Jordan :)

In Any Case...

GO SEE IT!!!

In the words of Stan Lee...

EXCELSIOR TRUE BELIEVERS!!!

Curse You PC World!!!

So... my plan for the entire day was to go to the city centre and pick myself up a copy of Diablo 3... This journey was in vein as I found none which left me the only other option... PC World reservation....

I went with the intention of purchasing and playing the game tonight instead i was hit with heartbreak and sadness when the Cashier told me that they had their shipment of the game delivered yesterday :)...
But hadn't unpacked them yet and i couldn't have one... So on the RELEASE DATE!!! of a game i cant get it until the day after leaving me one of the only people in my TeamSpeak channel who wanted the game without it...

So now i have to go back tomorrow night to get the game that i reserved and wanted the day of release...

Curse you lazy staff at PC World!!!!

Curse You!!

Avengers, Assembled... And Kicked Ass!!!

So last night I managed to watch what I am dubbing "Film of the Year" and considering that it is only April, this should say a lot.

Avengers combines an all star cast with the genius of Joss Whedon.  I will admit I had my doubts that with all the hype that surrounded this movie for the past couple years I can happily say that I was pleasantly surprised.
The plot of the film was brilliantly written bringing back Tom Hiddleston to play the devilishly cunning Loki but with a far more darker personality than in Thor back in 2011.  The continuation of the character and growth of personality is all well established in the film.  Chris Hemsworth also returned as Loki's brother Thor but again with a character development from that of the previous movie, a more responsible, older Thor is seen in The Avengers.  Jeremy Renner who reprises his cameo role from Thor also appears as Agent Clint Barton aka Hawkeye, a new character to the live action movie franchise that marvel have been building on for the past few years.  But still a great part was played.


Mark Ruffalo picked up where Edward Norton left off as Bruce Banner/Hulk and again the green eyed monster was still changed slightly to have a sense of humour in many ways and with the uttering of the classic line "Hulk Smash!" made me feel like a 12 year old boy all over again.  Scarlett Johannson as Agent Natasha Romanoff played more that just a support role this time around as we learnt more about her history as a character as well as her relationship with Hawkeye. Samuel L Jackson leaped into the role who, was in many ways written for him, as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D Nick Fury and didn't disappoint, as he rarely ever does.


Now Chris Evans.  I was slightly sceptical about using Chris Evans as Captain American originally as he played Johnny Storm/Human Torch in both Fantastic Four films but gladly I was mistaken.  He proved me wrong in Captain America: The First Avenger and he continues to do so by blowing the role away in this.  Superbly played giving a sense of command and patriotism that the character was written with and intended to have in the original comics.


This brings me onto who has quickly become one of my favourite actors in the business today playing one of the most perfect parts he has ever played.  Robert Downey Jr as the Cocky, Charming, Billionaire Businessman known to the Marvel Universe as Tony Stark and Iron Man.  Possibly my favourite series of movies yet to be made from the Marvel Universe.  The man en-captions the essence of Tony Stark and brings him to life on the Big Screen, every quip and line makes me think that I'm watching Downey Jr himself on screen and not the character he's playing because i believe the two are so similar a more perfect actor couldn't have been found to portray him.


The action in the film is exactly what you'd expect from a big budget superhero film and delivers Godly amounts to the audience.  The humour had to be expected when you have Downey Jr playing Stark but when it includes all the other characters as well and not only focused from one direction it becomes a multitude of laughs for everyone and not a single person in the audience last night could restrain their laughter at time in this film.


Overall this film was exactly and more what I expected and hoped it would be.  This will be a special edition purchase for me day of release if i can afford it at the time of DVD release and i strongly recommend that you see it.  Even if your not a fan of superhero movies this brings something for everyone to the table and should be fun for everyone. 5/5 rating for me and more if I could go over without seeming like an idiot.


Oh and one more thing... It's a Marvel film... So stay until the end of the credits ;-) Lets just say, there's been hints in the previous movies leading up to this that very few people have managed to spot and piece together.

AVENGERS!.... ASSEMBLE!!!!

Been feeling pretty shitty for the past few days for one reason or another... I'm kinda hoping that the fact that I get too see the new Avengers movie tonight with one of my closest friends makes up for this.  She said last night that she needs to give me a serious talking to... kinda makes me worried about what she has to say tbf :-| however I know that whatever she says comes out of love so it shouldn't be too bad.

Anyway back to the crux of the subject, Avengers! I've been looking forward to this film for so long and from what I've heard from reviews its going to be amazing!!! I can only hope that Joss Whedon can do justice to the genius dreamt up from the mind of the legend that is Stan Lee.

You may call me jealous. But I'm perplexed by this.

So before I started work today I was browsing through the news on the MSN website and I came across this video.

Now I watched this video all the way through and it made me think.  Not about the fact that its Justin Bieber, but that would every fan-girl/fan-boy be obsessed with these people had they not been famous in the first place.  I'm using Bieber as an example here but if he were just a normal kid living in Canada, not famous, no singles/albums, no YouTube videos would this horde of crazed girls be that bothered by him? And the answer to this question is, "I Don't Know" because we can never know! but in my opinion, they wouldn't look at him twice.

Fame is subjective to everyone, whether it's down to if an individual "deserves" to be famous or how famous a person is it's subjective to individuals or in this case groups.  Gone are the days when doing something worthwhile for the human race now gains you the amount of Stardom that a singer or actor gets any more.  People with ground-breaking achievements, people who really deserve the fame and attention are overlooked by the majority of the population and the media because One Direction or Justin Bieber coughs and the whole world just coo's and takes it because that's the way it is.

I'm in no way saying that I'm not guilty of this crime... I have idolise actors and musicians too but not for the way they look and I'm in no way obsessed to the degree that most of these people are or at all, and what's weird is that these people are (I'm sure) perfectly rational, emotionally balanced people to which I can vouch for as (if you watched the video) I personally know the girl who hugs him.
