The Dark Knight Rises Review Part 2

In the second part of my review of The Dark Knight Rises I discuss the motivations for several characters and how I perceived said characters. This part has spoilers!



After more time and consideration, I do feel that it had a little more plot threads than it needed and could feel bloated to some people. This was a different film than The Dark Knight and I feel it was a great ending not only to Bruce Wayne/ Batman's story, but also to this version of Gotham. Is is better than The Dark Knight? Well, that's debatable, but I do know I like this film better. I still personally feel it was a stronger piece because of how it portrayed the city, instead of just individual characters. When it comes out on DVD I'll watch all three together and see what I feel then. For now, I'm still of the opinion that one of the main reasons people don't like this movie is because it's not The Dark Knight. To be honest nothing can ever be just like or better than Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, and what makes this third film good is that it goes for something completely different. This film has a lot of very strong points to it, and those strong points definitely outweigh the weak ones (such as Bane's voice, which I personally didn't mind, or the numerous plot threads we didn't really need). That's why I didn't give it a perfect mark, because it's not a perfect film, but it is a film that does exactly what the director wanted it to do and finished up on most, if not all, of the plot threads presented within it. What I do know, is that comparing it to all the other big films of the year, such as The Hunger Games, The Avengers, Prometheus, etc, this is the best film in my opinion. So far. I'll just have to wait for the real Oscar bait around Christmas before I make any grand statements.

Road Rage: Episode 4, Quesnel BC

I've finally made it to Quesnel! Bad news is, after this was filmed, I had another 2 hour drive to Wells itself and saw several deer and rabbits on my way up. Also, so far it's been really hot, which makes driving in a car with no AC awesome.

Road Rage: Episode 3, Williams Lake

And here I am again, this time at Williams Lake. For some reason I decided not to turn off my stereo, so the music playing in the background is Infected Mushrooms.

Road Rage: Episode 2, 100 Mile House

Welcome to my second of many videos where I rant on about traffic, and my involvement in it. This time around I'm in 100 Mile House (which is, for those of you who don't know, a town in the BC interior, not just a house) and, of course, I decide to talk about the bad traffic in Vancouver. No matter where you go in life, the shittines of the Vancouver road traffic will always piss you off.

Road Rage: Episode 1, Lone Butte

I'm starting a new webseries where I rant about how bad other drivers are on the road. To start off I take a pit stop in Lone Butte BC, a town so small I never knew it even existed! It's weird how, even though I live in BC, I know more of the small towns in Saskatchewan than those in the interior of BC. Well, I guess BC is easier to hide in.

High River Water Level in Mission, BC

Whilst preparing to embark on my road trip to Wells BC, I take a little time to check out the water level of the Fraser River in Mission. Be advised, Mission at the point in time this video was taken was not under flood warning. But I'm pretty sure Matsqui was.
