I saw The Dark Knight Rises last night. I'm rarely impressed by anything Hollywood puts out anymore these days -- crap storylines, over-the-top visual effects for the sake of trying to wow me, etc., that so many films nowadays are rather... blasé. Not so with the new Batman movie. It's not all that popular nowadays, but I love old classics. Why? Sure, nostalgia, but the stories were infinitely better than a lot of the movies that have been released in the past decade. Story is what makes a movie worthwhile, and The Dark Knight Rises definitely was done beautifully. I feel weird saying that about any movie, let alone a 'superhero movie.' On a side note, my prayers go out to the families of those involved in the Aurora, Colorado, movie massacre. I'm very grateful none of my friends out there were at that theater when it all went down last Thursday night.
