Reel Talk:


First off I would like to express my condolences and support to the victims and their families that were attacked, some killed and many wounded at the opening midnight showing of this film by some deranged assailant. My heart is truly heavy!

This follow up film, the latest in the Bat Man series does not disappoint. Director Christopher Nolan delivers yet another intense, action packed thriller that is certain to do well at the box office.Giving the caped one yet another interesting menacing nemesis in Bane portrayed by Tom Hardy and adding the delicious Ann Hathaway as the Cat Woman increases the stock on this one. With a well written story and the visual dark overtone that now defines the city of Gotham this is a great movie well worth breaking open the piggy bank to check out. Certainly one of the years better movie!
