I went and saw the new Batman movie after the shooting in Colorado. Justifibly, I was a little apprehensive. The lights go down, they show coming attractions for what seems twenty minutes to a half an hour. The movie starts...It's a dark- themed film. Not a light happy movie. We get 35 minutes into the movie and what happens???? They stop the movie abruptly with a boom. The lights come on and the usher, or what I assume is a manager comes in and says, " It's okay folks, you aren't getting the full effect of the movie, so we decided to start the movie over again. You will get a refund on your way out(re-admission ticket). It'll take about 15 minutes to get the movie recued. We collectively sigh. Was this necessary? I almost shit my pants. As did the woman next to me, at least that's what she said. We make small talk, like you do with strangers, at least I do with strangers. I try to treat everyone like I've known them forever.
The movie starts again and continues to almost 9 pm. OMG!!! I thought it would never end. What started at a 4 pm showing went on for close to 5 hours; probably as long as the standoff with the terrorist himself. I didn't care for the movie until the very end, although I did think the acting was really good. I'd rather watch a musical. Maybe once it comes on DVD and I'm in the safety of my own home I could relax, but this was way too tense. And the violence was off the charts. Call me old fashioned, I watched Batman when I was a really small child, ran around the house with a towel around my neck singing the theme song with my brother. We were Batman and Robin. And they said this was the end of the Dark Knight trilogy, ok...make the next series a fun bunch, because you have to...I loved the new Robin!!! He is awesome!!!!
