The Dark Knight - A Super-hero movie without a hero

Advantages: Heath Ledger, great special effects, some excellent scenes
Disadvantages: Batman

...enough to see yourself become the villain" The release of "The Dark Knight" was greeted with something approximating mass-hysteria by the film-watching public due to the tragic circumstances surrounding the movie. For those who happened to be on another planet at the time, Heath Ledger, who plays arch-villain "The Joker", tragically died of an apparent overdose of prescribed drugs just before release. Ledger automatically gained Kurt Cobain/James ...
...the greatest actor ever to draw breath. Co-stars and fans alike queued up to pay homage. His performance as The Joker was no longer merely acting, it was a "legacy", instantaneously elevating it into the echelons of "best villain ever status". Immediately all the press releases and film trailers focussed on The Joker rather than the supposed star, Batman. Maybe this would have been the case anyway, but the cynical mind may wonder. In short, the Ledger ...

...him. in this batman film the joker is a bit more of a terrorist than a criminal, with blackmail and hostages. batman has a sort of Q from james bond and a new good guy Harvey who is a sort of polatictian who has a dark ending. Cast Dark Knights cast is absolutly outstanding, they may not be brad pitt, tom cruise and keria knightly (they're really famous) but it has actors that act just as well if not better. a special congrates to Heath Ledger ...

Review of The Dark Knight (Blu-ray)

Release the hound!!!

Advantages: An excellent idea and extremely well pulled off
Disadvantages: None

Another cracking Jet Li performance. I'm sorry but a lot of my friends do not like Jet Li and I personally think that he is fantastic especially when his predecessor was Bruce Lee. Hard footsteps to follow. Jet teamed up with Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins in this intense action thriller. I must start by saying that I have never ever seen any of this directors movies but now that I have seen this one I will definitely be looking out for some more ...
...of an excellent action flick witch was shot in a very stylish way. Well done that man. Bob Hoskins plays character that the would not normally play giving his short and fat frame. He plays a gangster in Glasgow. I know it seems a bit surreal but this man pulls it off to a T. He is like a jack Russel, Small but can bark very loud. He used to see a chinese prostitute and unfortunately for her she passes away by one means or another if you know what ...

Review of Unleashed (DVD)

Batman Begins/ Dark Knight Blu Ray Box

Advantages: Great Films, Good Value for Blu Ray
Disadvantages: Still cheaper to buy normal DVD and the difference isnt that huge

...Nolans Excellent Screen Conversion of The Caped Crusader Both films are set in the dark and dirty city of Gotham, the stories follow Batman as he fights crime and generally saves the day. Batman Begins: This film basically sets the scene for the probable next few batman films, we see bruce waynes story from the murder of his parents... to overcoming personal demons and rising to become the batman. While stopping along the way to kick Scarecrow ...
...packing in his job as the Batman, theres a new politician in town... a Mr Harvey Dent,and he is doing a great job of cleaning up Gotham so why would Gotham need a Vigilante..... because the jokers in town thats why. I have to honestly say joking aside.... Heath Ledgers performance in this film is nothing short of AMAZING, he will make you walk around asking people " Why So Serious" Trust Me.... buy this film... just to see him in his final and finest ...

Review of The Dark Knight/Batman Begins (Box Set) (Blu-Ray)

I love hostage

Advantages: Hostage!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Last man standing

This sounds pretty good, i have heard lots of good things about lucky number slevin, However Last man staanding bored me to sleep! My dad loved it however, i think last man standing is a bit more of a mans film, it didnt appeal to me at all, it wasn't very interesting and what little storyline it had moved that slowly i fell asleep. Hostage is definatley worth getting this for though, its an amazing film, It has an amazing plot with lots of twists ...
...is lots of unpredictable and edge of your seat action. and of course it stars the luscious Ben Foster. Ladies, prepare to drool. SO it has everything you could ever want in a film. its fast paced and action packed, but has a good story behind it instead of just being mindless special effects. its a must see! You have to see it just to see ben fosters gorgeous face! The plot will definately keep you interested too! ...
