8 out of 10

 

After Dark Knight https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/09/dark-knight-written-by-christopher.html we have to have a sequel, Hollywood has been criticized for relying too much, some said exclusively on the same old thing, milking franchises to exhaustion, although on the other hand, they are very bankable and have large audiences

 

Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought in 34.9 billion dollars, which is impressive, except Martin Scorsese and others have talked about the death of cinema, if we will have this flood of Spidermen, Avengers and the like, then we would not have the chance to watch magnum opera, no new ones anyway

https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-godfather-ii-by-mario-puzo-this.html the making of Godfather, once considered by many critics as the Best Film Ever, has an interesting story, selecting the cast, asking for Al Pacino for instance was amusing, because he was unknown, ergo they had to spell his name

 

Tom Hardy plays the villain here, he is Bane, a monster who enters the narrative in a spectacular, though quite unbelievable manner, it all happens at the start, hence there is no need for a spoiler alert, besides, who is reading this far, if at all, he gets on this CIA plane by stealth, I was just thinking that, with the ‘experts’ the orange baboon has brought in, it must be easy now, think of this Patel, head of the FBI, and all the rest of them

Mad Max https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/09/mad-max-written-and-directed-by-george.html was one of the motion pictures in which Tom Hardy shined, except I have read in the meantime that he had a terrible interaction with Charlize Theron, she came on time on the set, while the male lead was always late

 

So, the CIA has arrested these men, took them on the plane, and then tried to make them talk, by pretending they shoot and throw one, then another from the aircraft, when this fellow with a cloth on the face mocks them: ‘why shoot somebody that you are going to eject from the plane?’ it turns out he is Bale

The man is the epitome of evil and madness, they have another, bigger aircraft following (a chase with planes that would be) which attached to the CIA one, some trained fighters climb out, and then this is impressive but also makes me think of Kingsley Amis, and his critique of Virginia Woolf: ‘I want to keep saying 'No, he didn't', No it didn't happen as you describe it', No, that isn't what he thought, No, that's just what she didn't say’

Christopher Nolan overwhelmed me with Oppenheimer https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/02/oppenheimer-is-fabulous-glasperlenspiel.html but Batman is not my favorite genre, although I must admit that it is good entertainment, not what I would choose, it just happened to be aired on a film channel
