Saw Amazing Spiderman and Dark Knight Rises when I was away.

I was struck by how much Andrew Garfield reminded me of a young Anthony Perkins.

It was a good watch, the performances were much better than anything found in the Raimi films.

It was a bit flawed.

Those Avatar style hologram displays are going to date the film terribly and the CGI is a bit wobbly at times but on the whole a solid superhero film.

I was bitten.

Dark Knight Rises is a bizarre film.

The actors are talented, the director is talented, the camera crew are talented and the plot even makes sense most of the time (even if like Batman Begins there is a really dumb weapon and awful science) however it is a remarkably un-engaging experience.

I felt nothing for any of the characters who wasn't Selina Kyle.

Bane was a joke.

We had a city under anarchic siege and I got no sense of tension out of it at all.

It was muddled messy and boring.

It didn't even make me angry enough to want to comment that much about it like Prometheus did.

Like ROTJ it's the contractual obligation movie of the trilogy.
