As expected - I did NOT like Batman. I am one of the few that has not enjoyed Nolan's trilogy. It is just TOO dark, Yes I know that's the point - but I do not enjoy psychological thrillers. The original Batman with Michael Keaton was fun, this series was depressing.
The beginning of the very long movie, Dark Night Rises, was very boring. I even sort of fell asleep. The end of the movie's action scene was fun but too long.
I still do not like Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. He is just not tall enough and/or suave enough. And please - that voice as Batman, it's just annoying.
Anne Hathway was fine as catwoman, but the role was not defined enough.
Michael Caine is still the only bright light in the series!
OK so I'm in the minority - give me Spidey or Superman with some sunshine any day!

Men In Black 3 AND The Amazing Spiderman
Last week Mkey and I went to Men in Black 3. We enjoyed it! Silly entertainment! This movie is not an Oscar pick, not even a classic, fairly forgettable (look at the wand - flash - OK you can forget the movie), but it is a lot of fun. Silly movies have their place in our culture. 2 hours to forget our troubles and just enjoy ourselves. That is what this movie is for (and those that love chocolate milk!)

The Amazing Spiderman. Yesterday - July 4th - Mkey and I looked for Freedom from our regular lives and watched Peter fly across the screen. We also enjoyed it - but it was no Avengers.
MKey was right, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone no longer look like teenagers, and what kid in high-school is the number 2 at a major companies' lab? They should have either made Peter and Gwen in college, or used younger actors.
Martin Sheen was great, and I love seeing how Sally Field has embraced growing older and has taken on more mature rolls. I would never have imagined her as Aunt May, but she is such a great actress she left you guessing - does she know Peter's Spidey, or not?
Personally I didn't like the lizard....
But most of all I really preferred Tobey Maguire. I think he was a better Spidey.
Mkey really prefers this storyline to the original Spidey and I liked this one also, but I am not sure which I liked more.
We watched the movie in IMAX 3D and I have to say the 3D was great. It added to the movie, but wasn't overwhelming. The only problem was at times the 3D was in your face and the background was very blurry. Also you have to keep your head still or you get a headache!
OK - so my verdict.....
