The Dark Knight Rises

Don't worry, no spoilers to those who haven't watched it yet.


Last night, me and my girls watched The Dark Knight Rises in Glorietta 4. Honestly, I wasn't really that much excited when Jill pitched the idea but I wanted to see all of them that I thought "What the hell, tatlong oras lang naman". I didn't expect for it to have the effect it did on me:

I actually enjoyed the movie.

I am totally not the superhero-action-movie kind of girl and now that I think about it, I really am not a movie person period. If you should know, I've slept through  the whole Matrix trilogy and the first X-Men movie. I'm the last person you'd want to invite to a superhero-slash-action movie marathon with. I'd stay up the entire night marathon-ing TV series - both local and foreign - but you won't ever see me awake during movie marathons. Although I'd stay awake if we watched really cheesy chick flicks or Star Cinema (circa 2000++)-produced films because that's how I roll.

What kept me up, in this case, is the intrigue behind Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character (c/o Jill and Mafe) which totally blew my mind in the end that I punched Malia so hard on her arm that I'm pretty sure she's gonna punch me on the face the next time it happens. The last cafe scene confused me, though. I was sorta forcing the Inception POV. Haha!

Lastly, Anne Hathaway is great except I kept on remembering her eyeglasses-braces-and-big-curly-hair, Princess Diaries days so I cannot fully appreciate her performance in the movie.

All in all, The Dark Knight Rises is good. It doesn't guarantee I'm gonna watch the next one if there is a next movie nor will it guarantee me, watching more superhero action movies in the future. But it's good. Really good.

  2. It's the last film in the series. Have you seen the first two though?

    PS -- hi Jill, I was imagining your reaction after that reveal. Also, his wrinkles. Talagang parang si Bruce Willis na!

    2. I haven't seen the first (most of the plot points from that ties in to the third) but you have to watch the second. If only for Heath Ledger.
