Well I don’t think I’m shocked to be perfectly honest with you, it seems that Hollywood’s likes to make movies they’ve already made. Call it lack of new talent, and I don’t mean the actors or actress, I mean the writers, the people who come up with the stories.
You might stop and wonder.. maybe we’ve already made everything there is to be made?? Maybe people are so bored of movies now that come out now a days.. well I think in some ways it’s both. Don’t get me wrong, some really fun movies have come out in the last 5 years, but nothing like the good old days of the 80s and 90s.
Sure you can question that, 80s? WTF yeah I know.. but I grew up in the 80s, just like someone who grew up in the 70s or 60s will say those movies are the shit compare to today. Truth is, I can name a number of really good movies that came out from 1980 to 1989. Let me see.. off the top of my head, Annie, Back to the Future, Beverly Hills Cop, Batman, Big, Blade Runner, Cocoon, Coming to America, Die Hard, Dirty Dancing, E.T., The Empire Strikes Back, Evil Dead, Ghostbusters, Karate Kid, The Naked Gun, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Police Academy, Predator, Rambo: First Blood , Rocky III, Short Circuit, Superman 2, and lastly Robocop.
That’s not even all of them, just browse 1980s to 1989 and you will find a massive list of movies that I bet some of them you forgot even came out in the 80s. What I’m saying is, those where some awesome movies and many of those movies had a number of spinoffs, sequels and some, yes have already had some remakes/reboots (Nightmare on Elm Street, Superman, Batman) with Robocop being next on the hit list so to speak.
I heard about the reboot months and months ago, but didn’t think anything of it really. That was until this latest news I read over the weekend about the release date, and in most cases I’ve seen when some thing gets a release date, generally means they are pretty close to making it. August 9, 2013
Sony Pictures has set the release date for the Jose Padilha-directed which I have to say after I read the article about it. I have some hopes this movie might be pretty good if it fits within the story itself. We run into the issues with later films but right now lets focus on the one.
“In the first ‘RoboCop’ when Alex Murphy is shot, gunned down, then you see some hospitals and stuff and then you cut to him as RoboCop. My movie is between those two cuts. How do you make RoboCop? How do you slowly bring a guy to be a robot? How do you actually take humanity out of someone and how do you program a brain, so to speak, and how does that affect an individual?”
This right here, that is interesting to me. One of the biggest problems I personally have had with so many remakes, reboots of films is they are just retelling, often times just trying to do it better with better acting, better CG work. Whatever the case, that is why I think Batman Begins did so well, sure it was a reboot, sure we’ve already seen the Joker.. and Two Face.. and what’s to come BUT they did something different. They show us something we never saw before, how Batman became Batman. This, how did Robocop become that.. what was the process.. that is very interesting to me.
We’ll see however, I really love the first 2 films, not so much the 3rd and the TV shows I never really got that much into it. But we’ll see how it goes right? I mean it could totally suck.. but I’m hoping for a good film here. So what do you think? Leave a comment down below and tell me what you think.
So what do you think of the The Dark Knight Rises? Well not much I would think, given the movie isn’t even out yet. But I’ve learned a six-minute prologue of footage is gonna be shown long with Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in IMAX theaters on December 16, the film’s released everywhere else on the 21st.
Personally I’m not really sure how I feel about the prologue being played so early like this. Just like with most of the Marvel movies, releasing a number of clips, trailers and footage that does give away a lot of stuff that personally wouldn’t you want to wait for? Yes, you can choose not to watch them, but you hear about it.. it’s almost impossible these days to make any high-profile movie without any secret to them.
The next summer I look forward too, way more than I did this last summer movie season. With The Dark Knight Rises, Spider-man and the Avengers coming, we have much to look forward too that is for sure. No matter how good the Avengers is gonna be, we know we’re gonna have more Iron Man, more Thor, more Captain America… but Batman? Yeah it’s gonna be a Marvel vs DC summer.. but Super-man isn’t coming until 2013 I heard?
Can't get any sexier
That’s likely the main difference, Batman feels like a good movie, it doesn’t come off as stupid and even know I mean come on.. a guy dress like a bat fight crime.. sound silly and stupid. But the world of Batman that Christopher Nolan and his team made.. it works.
So what does that leave us? Well there are rumors of Catwoman, and a number of other characters from Batman’s Rogue Gallery that might make it into the movie. Given that Christopher Nolan himself has said this is his very last one for Batman. Which pretty much means that if they do a 4th.. well don’t please!
With that said what am I looking forward to and my thoughts about The Dark Knight Rises?
- There are gonna be a crap load of ‘jokes’ on TV that are gonna make me giggle
- Batman looks like he gets his butt handed to him.. maybe even close to death?
- There are gonna be more than one bad guy again and hopefully some classics
- I’m not looking forward to seeing Joker.. even if it’s a shadow of him. just let it be
- Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle.. mm I think we all agree she’s really pretty
- Tom Hardy as Bane FINALLY he looks bad-ass and not stupid like he was in Batman & Robin
Personally I think the biggest thing I’m looking forward to is gonna be seeing Bane and how Batman is gonna deal with him. This isn’t gonna be just some grunt who does nothing but being all big and buff, to only be pushes to the side. There are rumors that Robin might be hinted, but this is mostly just forum comments and nothing news wise so I doubt it. But in the end it comes down your opinion.
What do you think? What are your thoughts so far on how the Last Batman movie (done by Christopher Nolan) is gonna shape up? Do you plan to see it? Let me know in the comments below.
