I think it was Spiderman. It was pretty good. I do wish they would've scaled back on the retelling of how he came to be, kinda like what they did with the 2nd Hulk movie. My wife seemed to really like it, moreso then the last trilogy.
*begin mindless rant*
Haven't seen Dark Knight Rises yet. I've heard it's not as dark as the last one, which is just fine. My wife n' I both were bored & depressed with Dark Knight. I haven't bothered to see it again, though, it did take me seeing Batman Begins a few times to actually enjoy it. I don't really care for Christian Bale as Bats, but he's ok. Certainly better then Val Kilmer, & all the more so then George Clooney, but I think I still like Michael Keaton more for some strange reason. Not that he was totally accurate, cuz they had him using bullets n' stuff. My Bats is Kevin Conroy, too bad he couldn't do live action. And Heath did 0 for me as Joker. Give me Jack any day of the week. I like my psychopaths named Joker to have a sense of humor. About the only comedic side I saw with Heath was him dressed up as a nurse. Otherwise, he just seemed like your average everyday psycho, more like Zsasz if you ask me.
I do love Gary Oldman as Gordon though, as well as Liam Neeson as Ra's, Moorgan Freeman as Luscious, & Michael Caine as Alfred! But, I just feel like the whole "making things more realistic" for this series, dumbed it down(for lack of a better word). One of the major things about Bats, is that he's not a meta human, but he can go toe to toe with them. In the comics, Ra's is basically immortal, he's lived thousand of years thanks to the Lazarus Pit. Not so in this. He's just a moniker of whoever takes over the League of Shadow's(though, I still pretend in my own little world that Ra's of Batman Begins is indeed thousands of years old, & is still alive). To me, he's essentially a meta human, since he can be way more powerful then the average human(after coming out of the Lazarus Pit). Same thing with Bane, he's a super villain in the comics with super powers ala venom. It's just a bummer to me. Bats can beat Sups, who is deffinitly a meta human. I'm sure next with Chris Nolan doing Sups, they'll make him a native from some island called Kryptonia or something, & he can "jump" really high, instead of fly
Kidding ofcoarse, but, I'm kinda pissed off at Chris, & am glad the series is being rebooted.
Don't get me wrong, there are thing I like about it. In general, atleast the first movie is well crafted, nothing like the 3rd & 4th Bats movies of the past. But, as "Batman" movies, I don't know. I'll probably like the 3rd one, so maybe me feeling will change, though, I still hate the ugly batmobile, & think "Catwoman" looks very plain & drab. Sure, she's supposed to be realistic.....but, why is she wearing high heels if that's true?
*end rant*
Just gotta wait for more Avenger's related movies, so far, I've enjoyed all of them. Probably Captain America the most(next to the actual Avenger's movie), & am looking most forward to CA 2 Thor 2, & especially Antman! I hope Guardian's of the Galaxy is done right, they're really taking a chance with character's like Rocket Racoon, but, that's what I love about the concept. We also need a Squirrel Girl movie
Oh, & I'm super excited that The Mandarin is FINALLY making an appearance in Iron Man 3, about damn time. I don't even remember any references to him in the 2nd movie
