The Dark Knight Rises

Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.

Like most people i was really looking forward to seeing this film, i thought the Dark Knight was amazing and Heath Ledger's Joker was fantastic, so i only had high hopes for this film.

But to be honest i was very disappointed, I thought the first hour and a half of the film could have been condensed into 20/30 minutes as by the time the action happened i was nearly half asleep.

Batman's Foe in this film is Bane and his voice grated on me, it sounded like he was a combination of South African, Australian and a bad impression of a Bond villain.

The Bat-Pod ( Batman's Motorbike) seemed to be the slowest motorbike you'll ever see on a film and one point i thought a moped would have been able to over take it!

I didnt think the fight scenes were all that either, If you were going to compare it to the Marvel films that have been out in the last couple of years, it doesn't compare!

Id suggest go see Spider-man instead or even Ice Age. I'll only give it 2/5 i was really hoping it was going to be one of the most epic films of the year.. but it wasnt!

The Lorax

A 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.

The Film is based on the book by Dr Seuss, which unfortunately i have not read. The only Dr Seuss book i have read is If I Ran a Circus which still remains mine and my siblings (some of which are in the mid 30's) favorite book. He is an amazing wordsmith the way the he writes the stories and the rhythms flow, creating wacky characters and mystical worlds.

To me Pipsqueak a little bear steals the show purely for the reason he is cute, comical and always seems to get in to trouble. Thou he doesnt speak its his facial features that win you over.

Its classed as a comedy, i wouldnt say i laughed a whole lot but i did thoroughly enjoy it! It would be hard to say which film to see between Ice Age 4 or this, id say this is ahead but just by a whisker! 4/5

Ice Age 4 Continental Drift

Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon another adventure after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they explore a new world.

I wasnt a big fan of the third one which had the dinosaurs in, a part of me thought it was a pointless story. So i went into this one with baited breath. As me and my friend were buying the tickets, the lady serving us said that she thought it was really funny as she'd seen it yesterday. And she was right, it was!

So the continents begin to separate because of scratch and his acorn.The guys get separated on an iceberg and float off into the new world. The film follows their journey trying to get back to Ellie and Peaches (the daughter).

Its a funny film which i would recommend seeing, especially if you have kids or if your like me a big one! a solid 4/5

The Amazing Spider-Man

Peter Parker finds a clue that might help him understand why his parents disappeared when he was young. His path puts him on a collision course with Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner.

This version of Spider Man is biased more on the comics than the last Spider Man movies which stared Toby Maguire.

I have to say i enjoyed this new franchise more than the last, not that i have read the comics but i enjoyed the storyline more. I found that this Peter Parker was more likeable and not 'wo is me' as the last. I could see this Spider Man linking up with The Avengers, as this character seemed to have the personality that would work well with Tony Stark, with the sarcastic humor and comments made by Peter during the fight scenes.

The special effects were more realistic for the action sequences than the other films too, but i suppose that is because technology has moved on since then.

I really enjoyed this film and hopefully they will make another, I would give this film 4/5 well worth a watch!
