The battle of the CBM's is about to begin. And with that people have been wondering which movies will top the other. Being a Marvel fan I find it funny that people will think that TDKR will suck. REALLY? Of its anything like the Dark Knight it'll blow our minds. But you can't compare these movies. They're to different.
The Dark Knight Rises:We already know some things about this movie. Talia,Bane,Catwoman. Each one will have a pivotal role in how Gotham will go to ashes. This movie will have alot of symbolism and will show us things that have a deeper meaning behind them. This movie will show us the fall of Gotham and Batman. Then it will show the RISE of Batman to greatness. When I look at the theatrical poster I see the ending to a perfect trilogy. I have nothing bad to say about Batman Begins or The Dark Knight. Both films are JUST GREAT. It really shows us the beauty that is Batman and to a new generation. It took me a while to see Batman Begins but I love that movie. This is a movie with one hero. So we have time to delve deep into his mind and see what hehe's thinking. Then we have the villains. Bane we saw last was a guy who could barely speak. Let alone bring chaos to an entire city. When it comes to Bane's strength he's merciless and powerful. I see Bane attacking Gotham with a huge hit,which will triple both Gotham and Batman. This movie is about a man who falls both mentally and physically and RISES to greatness in being the hero his city needs. You can expect a movie like this to be again Oscar worthy. The only thing I will say is that the critical review will be better than its incoming gross.
The Avengers:Its a movie about 4 superheros who team up with 2 assassins/spys to defeat an alien invasion. How deep do you really expect this to be? This will be the first time we'll see a crossover in cinematic history,so this is an event. We'll see a giant green monster,aliens,futuristic high tech suits,a super soldier,and a guy with a giant hammer. This will be escapism if I ever saw it. The story won't be great. There won't be these awesome plot twits or anything like that,that's for the Dark Knight Rises to do. We'll see superhero vs superhero. We've all been waiting for that.
Where I'm going here is that both movies will be great. And in a cool way even each other out. One more on the side of realistic,showing a massive terrorist attack and the other is more fantastic with an alien invasion. The whole Marvel vs DC was fun when I was younger,and once in a while it still is. But we can't base this summer on adebate that won't go anywhere. I saw Marvel first so I love Marvel more. If you saw RC first you probably perfect that. Both movies are and will be awesome. Each one has something to bring to the table. The Avengers is the beginning while TDKR is the end of something GREAT. Each will be the best OF ITS KIND.
