Dark Knight Rises review

Dam. Chris Nolan has really outdone himself. This was the best of the “Dark Knight Rises” movies. For those who don’t know about “Batman”, this movie is the epic conclusion of the “Dark Knight Rises” trilogy. (Dark Knight Rises Begins, Dark Knight Rises: The Dark Knight, and this movie, Dark Knight Rises: Dark Knight Rises) There is so much to say about this movie. I don’t know where to begin. First, the performances.

A lot of people were not expecting Anne Hathaway to do a great job as Catwoman, but I think she really gave an “amazing performance”. Her portrayal of Catwoman really combined the best of all the previous incarnations of the character; from Eartha Kitt, to Halle Berry to Michelle Feiffer. Not just Michelle Feiffer in Batman Returns but also Michelle Feiffer in Gangsta’s Paradise, both the movie Gangsta’s Paradise and her portrayal of the same character in the music video for Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise. All of that was in Anne Hathaway’s performance. Sometimes she would just take out a chair and sit on it backwards with a serious look on her face as she tried to turn Gotham’s street urchins away from crime.

CORRECTION: Top 10 most-anticipated summer blockbusters

AFP Relax – Thu, May 10, 2012

[Corrected: paragraph on The Amazing Spider-Man] Sci-fi films, superhero stories and action-adventures command screens this summer, joined by kids' animated movies, with sequels and reboots big along with a couple of original tales.

In what is already a record-breaking year at the box office, May releases kick off the hits early with The Avengers, Battleship, Dark Shadows and Men In Black 3 in 3D released early to avoid competing with the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship in June.

These heroes aren't just fighting villains taking over the world -- intergalactic invasions intend to destroy the planet and annihilate the human race. Perhaps with the predictions of the end of the world on December 21 as the "inspiration," the superhuman forces expect to draw super-sized audiences.

1. Snow White and the Huntsman
Release dates: May 30-June 1

Twilight's Kristen Stewart as Snow White, Chris Hemsworth (Thor) as the Huntsman and Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen. This twist on the Grimm fairy tale packs a punch with the hunted and hunter joining forces against the witch.
