The Dark Knight Rises

ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE

This was a tough one because 1) the movie was at 8pm, 2) the movie is nearly 2:45 hrs long, and 3) I had a glass of wine before the movie.  Except for a couple of very short 1-minute long "eye closures," I was awake for 99% of the movie.  Anyhow, 15 minutes into the movie, and a couple of things immediately popped up in my head - 1) why does Bane sound like a 70 year old British man and 2) I love the Catwoman role, but I don't know if Anne Hathaway was right for the role.  I love Anne, but she's too young for the part.  I would have liked to have seen an older actress (someone like Kate Beckinsale) play the role.  And my only gripe in the movie was how no one died when they were shot at.  It's like c'mon, if you're running 200 yards into a firing squad, more than 5 people out of 1,000 had to have been hit by a bullet.  Besides that, one of the top classic action movies of all time.
