I have said this before...in some far off blog but out of
all the story lines, to be able to take VERY fictional characters, and give
them a real story and add and edge of fear to them, is by far one of the most
creative things I've ever seen.
I love the re-telling of old stories that can actually make
you like the characters more. But it helps that I wasn’t a big fan. I’m sure
some serious die-hards had issues with it. It was pointed out to me only
yesterday that Miranda is actually Poison Ivy. Hey...like I said I wasn’t such
a big fan, so when I watched the movie, it was with new eyes.
I guess that is the key to actually enjoying the remakes,
and comic-type movie versions. You have to watch it, as if you don’t know the
characters.
When Michelle Pfeiffer played cat woman, I totally loved
her. I didn’t like all the meowing and
licking though. And Halle Berry...I don’t even want to think about it. But my
oh my...the work they did with Anne Hathaway...I’m stunned. Finally a female
superhero character/cat woman that I can not only respect, but who’s fighting
style I can actually admire. None of that wild, lioness type, licking purring
stuff. The words I am looking for are lithe, light, sleek and oh so lady like but
of the iron variety. Fighting sequences were not something that I would put on
my best fighting scenes, but the fighting style *Big high five*.
And then there was Bane. Who at this moment in time, I’m completely in
love with. It’s the humanising of the
bad boy, I can’t help it. And that voice! I’ll take one of those with a removable
mask thank you ;)
Robin. I was totally gob-smacked when I
found out he was Robin! I didn’t think they would add that story line because I
had read an article where the director said it was his last movie. So why end
it like that? But it was awesome.
I’ve watched it 3 times so far. And it was totally worth it.
