Well by now everyones seen the prologue, they may have even seen the epic trailer that was ever so kindly bootlegged onto the internet and some people are going nuts, while others are as cold as Mr. Freeze. I think it was going to be hard to match what was done with The Dark Knight ever since the passing of Mr. Ledger however TDKR could possibly be the biggest and baddest film seen in cinema.
Now some of you here are probably getting your avengers undies in a bunch, but to tell you the truth, I don't really have the biggest expectations for The Avengers. I mean look at Iron Man... great movie, Incredible hulk... also great movie, but by the time Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America came, it honestly felt like a cookie cutter movie that was just thrown together for the sake of being thrown together. I honestly know in my heart that Avengers will also be a cookie cutter movie thrown together with no heart, and no story. TDKR however has a brilliant story to tell and there is one quote from the bootlegged trailer that makes me relieved:
"When Gotham is in ashes, you will have my permission to die."
That alone just tells me that this battle will be a different battle, it won't be a battle against someone who has nothing to lose, and it won't be a battle about fighting some fluff character just to be fighting him, however the conflict between someone who is highly motivated to see your downfall and has no problems making you suffer through it and making sure that you are indeed "broken" and watching as your world disappears. This movie will have an unreal story... something the past few marvel movies have lacked, and it will also bring themes that will make us think after the movie is done. As for the Avengers, it will be a good movie, make a few dollars, and sell a ton of merchandise at the Disney store... it is what it is.
I like movies that make me think, that put me right there but thats just me and I am OCD that way so whatever. So feel free to flame me, or not, I could care less, but I do encourage you all to think outside the box and not what Disney is jamming up our asses.
