Call of duty/tony hawk games

Now let me get this out of the way I grew up with these games so I like these games. But come on people really call of duty isn't bad and neither are the tony hawk games. If you are going to complain about games that don't change that much here's a list : elder scrolls games, sport games, Mario games, legend of Zelda games, battlefield, and many many more. Plus here is the big thing if tony hawk pro skater never existed skate would not be as popular and same thing with call of duty and battlefield and other shooters.

The dark knight rises SPOILER ALERT

Wow this movie. this movie was okay but nothing to special. As me and my friend said coming out of the movie that was okay. We even gave a rating but if you have actually been to this blog before I don't do that till the end. If I had a choice I would watch batman begins because it is for the most part the same movie. Okay plot Bruce Wayne hasn't been in the batman suit or seen at all in 8 years or months (I really forget) since the last movie. The people of Gotham are celebrating Harvey dent day where they celebrate the lie Gordon told the city and the world that he was killed by batman also in the last movie we discover in filler by... officer plot convenience that Gordon's wife divorced him and took the kids and he has about one year before they will fire him make him resign (I also forget that to but it's okay it leads to nothing) the event is being held at Wayne manor then we see Miranda last name here(god I should have posted this after I saw the movie not a day later) talking to deckler a person after the Wayne Corp also at the party is Selina Kyle AKA catwoman. Okay you know what if you haven't seen this movie why are you here okay so skip the plot what I thought. This movie (to me) is very forgettable I mean I could tell you the major plot points but everything else was forgotten. This movie was a 7.5 in my opinion is it good yes but plot holes over take it like how did batman get to Gotham even though they closed off every entrance to gotham. Did they have a kid who looked like a boy be in the prison then change it to a girl in the end. Why did the doctor and another prisoner not know that the girl was the one who escaped and said bane did EVEN though he lived in the prison for years until they broke him out. 7.5 good but not great.

Metal gear solid the movie?

Now for the big fans of the series this would come to no shock but to a casual I know the story and played the console games gamer (like myself) this came to a shock to me. Apparently in 2006 at E3 creator of the metal gear series Hideo Kojima stated that he gained a contract with some people in Hollywood to make a film of the game and it would be filmed in Alaska. where the game took place.

In the next two years it would be revealed that Sony pictures was going to be involved in producing the film along with Michael De Luca who also produced the second Austin powers movie and boogie night and that Kurt Wimmer who wrote and directed ultraviolet and equilibrium to write and direct this film. But was later stated not to be involved with the film and was one of the first of many people they went to. Another note is that the English voice of solid snake David Hayter submitted a take for the movie and a script to Konami but it was rejected.

Another interesting story is that Christian Bale stated that he was interested in the role in June of 2008. But a year later he denied talking about a film version of the game and gave a confusing answer whether has even played the series at all. In 2009 Jeremy Bolt producer of the 6 resident evil movie afterlife and director Paul W.S. Anderson are interested in doing an adaptation of the film for the big screen. Now the project might not come out and or it will.
Now for my opinion why do metal gear solid first why not the original Japanese version of metal gear and then work your way to metal gear solid because believe it or not people might get confused about certain people in this film( I.E big boss and "McDonald miller") and really who will go see this movie fans of the series who know all of the backstory yes but then you have people who want to see an action movie and MOVIE CRITICS who might have never looked at the series. so what I think they should do is take the original game make it HD take out all of the gameplay moments and add new cutscenes and sell it as a DVD. I mean that's what they did for most of mgs 4.

Bane

Well since the new batman movie dark knight rises is coming out soon I will I into detail about the origin of bane( note I have not looked at the DC comics reboot so I will talk about the well known origin) so lets begin. Bane was the son of Edmund Dorrance who had been a revolutionary and escaped the court system of santa prisca. bane being born in the prison of peña Dura and due to the corrupt government made him serve his farther's sentence. Which taught him many things like to fight and street knowledge. Two interesting stories are that he committed his first murder when he was 8 who did he kill a criminal who wanted to know about the prison and that he had a teddy bear who was called Osito and could be considered his only friend in the prison which had a hole in it so he could hide a knife to kill any one who bullied him.

Then in his early adult years(note I am only guessing this but he could have been a teen when this happened.) he claimed himself the king of Peña Dura which the prison's guards took note of.
Eventually they forced him to become a test subject of the mysterious drug venom which had killed all previous subjects to it. At first the drug nearly killed Bane but he survived and found that venom helped increase his physical strength but he would have to take it every 12 hours by tubes directly into his brain or he would get side effects that would debilitate him.

Now that the origin is done it is time to give a verdict. I honestly like bane as a villain I mean he could have been portrayed as a big muscled idiot but they made him smart and powerful at the same time. One of the most famous stories involving bane is the man who broke the bat where he breaks batman's back and takes control of Gotham due to fear. This lead to batman needing to find his replacement Jean-Paul valley who would go on to be Azrael and I might review his character sometime later. But overall I find bane a good villain and a great example of how smart he is strangely in the same story when thinking of how to beat the bat he knows going head to head against the dark knight would be dumb and get him sent back to prison so he goes to Arkham and breaks the walls and lets all the villains in the asylum out to go on a rampage through Gotham. Which of course gets batman exhausted then bane strikes. Batman after catching them all goes back to the batcave to meet none other than bane who had found out who was really under the mask and breaks batman's back as stated above. So verdict 9 out of 10 because just me liking him doesn't mean he is always used correctly in stories.

Batman: under the red hood

This movie is one of the best comic book movies EVER and in my opinion better then Thor and the dark knight. Now if you haven't seen the movie these reviews will give away spoilers so I recommend you to go see the movie on Netflex or rent it at a video store. Okay so the movie starts at the end of death in the family where the joker(John DiMaggio) beating Jason Todd(Jensen Ackles and Vincent Martella as a teen aged Todd) with a crowbar in an abandoned warehouse. All the while we are cutting to Ra's al Ghul(Jason Isaacs) talking to his assistant(Brian George) to see if batman(Bruce Greenwood) will save Todd in time and is shocked/sad (I can't tell) that batman won't make it. We cut to the joker leaving the boy wonder on the floor of the warehouse beating to (possibly) a inch of his life once joker leaves Todd begins to crawl to the door ( joker broke at least one of his leg) and stops at the door as he notices a bomb counting down. Right has batman gets there the bomb goes off and finds Jason's dead body in the destroyed building. Fast forward 5 years and we find batman chasing three thugs in a truck with a "package" originally for the black mask when batman makes the car crash the package is revealed to be an Amazo(look it up on wikipedia) just has this happens dick Grayson/nightwing(Neil Patrick Harris) shows up and together they destroy the Amazo. They begin to interrogate the thugs when they are shot down by the red hood and batman gives chase which finally ends in the chemical plant one of the original red hoods was turned in the joker. after a discussion on the birth of the joker has one of batman's greatest failrs the red hood escapes and we cut to black mask(Wade Williams) as one of his guards says "pissed off"  about the fact he lost his money he could have gotten from selling the Amazo. This starts a what i can only say is a crime lord war against the red hood now to speed this up red hood turns out to be Jason Todd but is either insane (due to being resurrected by al ghul) or what was always this way and wants revenge over joker because he killed him and wants some revenge over batman because he let joker live he fights batman and then tells him that he has to kill the joker or kill him to stop him from killing the joker and throws batman a gun batman does neither and Todd shoots at batman and misses while batman throws a batarang at his gun and it explodes in Todd's hand and reveals a bomb and is going to blow them all up before batman can get to the bomb to disarm it the joker stops him and says that this is a better surprise and is ready for them all to die it blows up the joker and batman are fine and Todd's body is never found and the movie ends with Jason in the robin suit for the first time as a kid(couldn't find the voice actors name so didn't add him to the role of Jason Todd) and says " This is the greatest day in my life".
Now I love this movie it has great action it has a great story and is dark and gritty and isn't afraid of blood( this movie was rated PG-13) but you might be saying why didn't I hear about this because it was a direct to DVD (video is extinct by now and I really hate that) movie and it got advertised once or five times. But this should have been much more then direct to DVD it should have been released to the theaters not DVD's. verdict is 8/10 love the movie but towards the end it got kinda far fetched like how Jason set up how to get the joker and how he whined at the end but the last line of the movie had a huge impact so not all of the ending sucked.

Jason Todd

My first review was orignally going to be the animated movie Batman: under the red hood but I think I should do a anylisis over one of the main characters of the movie Jason Todd. Jason Todd was the second robin after Dick grayson moved on to be nightwing we first meet Jason at crime alley (where batman's parents died for comic newcomers and non-comic readers) trying to steal the tires off of the batmobile when batman comes along and takes him in as the new robin. Now for comic readers many know this is the origin after the event crisis on Inifinte Earths but before this event the origanal origin was very much like dick garyson's todd's parents were acrobats and were killed by killer croc (recuring batman villain) and was later adopted by bruce wayne/batman. Now for the reason comic readers know Todd back in the 80's DC and batman editor Dennis O'Neil was aware that fans didn't like Todd because "He wasn't like the first robin" so todd was kindnaped by the joker and was beating with a crowbar but before this DC comics I had an idea to hold a vote in the next comic for jason to live or die and the vote was very close but in the end jason todd died in the comic A death in the family with this iconic picture as the cover.

But years later DC comics had another idea where Jason Todd wuld come back from the grave orignally it was just clayface(another recuring villan)to trick batman. But later Todd did come back from the grave. Now origanally it was suposed to be a diffrent universes Todd but they scraped that idea. So to explain this they made a mini seires saying how he came back to life and trained with weapons and fighting arts to match batmans. But he took up the mantle of Red hood( Many people in the DC universe have taken this persoa including joker at one point) and started a territory war with the black mask(look him up on wikipedia) while still being somewhat of a anti-hero and is now a recuring villian/anti-hero thourhout the DC universe. Now my verdict over this character out of 10 is a 7/10 even though i like this chararcter I still have to admit he isn't perfect sure when he came back he had great stories but now is under used and when used has bad stoires now and days. so comment say if you agree or disagree next review Batman under the red hood.
