Poll: The Most Anticipated Films of 2012

Finally I'm writing about the most anticipated upcoming films of this year. I included in this huge poll films of different genres, directed by famous and not directors, with young and award-winning actors. Maybe someone finds here something interesting besides his regular tastes. But there are no feature films, which I'm going to include in the next poll.

You can choose 5 films, which you are definitely going to see and waited for them since the previous year (or even longer).

My picks are (they shouldn't affect you choice!):
1. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
2. "Django Unchained"
3. "Dark Shadows"
4. "The Expendables 2"
5. "Les Misérables"

"The Dark Knight Rises" (2012) - Bane poster

"The Legend Ends?"

New poster for "The Dark Knight Rises" says that there is nothing good for Batman in this upcoming film. Christopher Nolan makes it very dark and this broken mask means that someone will kick Batman's ass. Whoops! And Tom Hardy's back looks scary. His Bane is going to be a big trouble. I hope Christian Bale's character won't run away from him screaming.

Are you my hero, Batman?

Who is that hero?

This comic book hero has his interesting history of fighting some villains (freaks) and saving his native Gotham City. Though he was appearing in comics since 1939, Batman along with his alter ego Bruce Wayne always looks young, full of energy and ready to save the situation again and again.

However I like him least of all heroes, who have ever been created by humanities fantasy, his enemies seems to be more fun. Joker, Mr. Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and girls in black leather, Catwoman and Batgirl. They're pure freaks even if they have a 'nice' alter ego.

Behind the scenes

I saw a couple of movies about Batman - "Batman" (1989) by Tim Burton, then I started watching "Batman Returns" (1992), but something went wrong (I can't remember what) and I didn't saw even a half of it. I didn't miss "The Dark Knight" (2008) and because of Heath Ledger's appearance I'd never regret I spent more than 2 hours watching it. Also I've seen some scenes from "Batman and Robin", which has to be the forth and the last part of the Burton's story, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze (what?) and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy (what? part 2). And, if it counts, I saw "Catwoman" with Halle Berry (it's not more than 5/10).

Since the very beginning Batman has been played by many talented actors. Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton, George Clooney and Christian Bale tried on his costume and fought evil. I wasn't impressed by the acting of Bale (though I find a couple of movies, he starred in, great) and not so far from him stands Keaton. It looks like they desperately wanted to be overshadowed by Jack Nicholson and later by Heath Ledger, who were great at portraying Batman's crazy opponent Joker.

So, are you my hero, Batman?

I should say 'no'. But still I'm reading news about "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012), watching some videos from the set and posting about it here. I'd never watch it in 3D or IMAX or other 'modern' format, but when I'm going to see it, I'll do it not because of Batman, who is played by Christian Bale again, but because of Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard. Sorry, B-man.

"The Dark Knight Rises" (2012) - First look at Catwoman

It has been released a new image of one of the main characters from "The Dark Knight Rises". Anne Hathaway portrays Catwoman, but there are some thoughts that she may not become her, remain being just Selina Kyle. It looks like creators have a good chance to surprise us in the upcoming 2012 year. For more information visit Slash film website.

(Rotten Tomatoes)

Франшиза Кристофера Нолана продолжается с новым проектом студии Warner Bros., который будет третьим по счету в данной серии и в российском прокате появится под названием "Воскрешение Темного рыцаря". История продолжается после событий "Темного рыцаря" (2008), и Дэвид Гойер вновь выступил сценаристом. Главные роли исполнят такие актеры, как Кристиан Бэйл, Энн Хэтэуэй, Том Харди, Гари Олдман, Джозеф Гордон-Левитт, Марион Котийяр, Майкл Кейн и Морган Фриман. Вчера появился самый первый трейлер к ожидаемому фильму, который особо и не раскрывает сюжет, но показывает, что герою Гари Олдмана придется трудно.
