Movie Review: The Bourne Legacy

The Bourne franchise finally continues this month with a new installment in the saga now playing in theaters via "The Bourne Legacy". Directed by the series' mainstay screenwriter Tony Gilroy, this film based on Robert Ludlum's action-drama espionage series is the first spin-off title, with Matt Damon not reprising his role as main character and star Jason Bourne. Instead, the spotlight now focuses on a new character, Aaron Cross, who's played by the equally talented and tough-as-nails actor Jeremy Renner. Last seen as the sharpshooting superhero Hawkeye in Marvel's The Avengers, Renner aims to fly to solo and fight for his survival in this film, with Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton also co-starring as scientist Dr. Marta Shearing and Ret. USAF Colonel Eric Byer. With the decks stacked with proven hollywood stars, does this film compliment or offshoot the franchise?

SPOILERS of course, so read on at your own risk and find out in this short but sweet review.

Review: The Dark Knight Rises

Threequels rarely show that there's redeeming value for a franchise other than big box office numbers. Spider-Man 3 proved that some years ago, and there's rarely been any continuation of a story or movie that ended on a high note with expectation or promise. As such, it's a very big surprise and achievement to witness the final chapter to British-American director Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight saga with the film "The Dark Knight Rises". The film places an ending to the franchise that began with 2005's Batman Begins and escalated with 2008's The Dark Knight, and all plot threads and storylines built within the events of those two films culminate into one grand epic presentation, presented in both conventional and IMAX formats. 

Having seen the film during its official IMAX premiere in the Philippines, I'm going to tell you now that this review will be littered with SPOILERS. I'm a big fan, collector, and yes even a cosplayer of The Batman, so take heed and be cautious if you want to see the film for yourselves without any differing opinions. All I'm going to say now is that if you're a fan of the superhero or have seen any of the two previous, you owe it to yourself to see this one. Special thanks goes out to Warner Bros. Philippines and SM Cinema for the invitations. That being said, I give the review for TDKR.

SPOILER WARNING. A Fire Will Rise.
