by Michael Malgeri Last weekend I took my son and his pal to see "Iron Man" and while I don't profess to be a movie critic, I think I have insightful analysis to share from a family perspective. That Leslie Bibb played one hot news reporter! Seriously, my standing complaint with the "Marvel" comic series of movies is that they just don't know how to do "hero" AT ALL! In the "Action" comic series, of which Superman was an employee, they had the formula right. Superman busts through a wall, beats up the bad guys and is in total control of the whole Lois Lane thing. The Marvel so called heroes barely eek out a victory in overtime, along the way they invariably make a nonsensical political or ecological statement and when it comes time to kiss the girl they act like they're wearing a pink tutu. Iron-ically, Robert Downey Jr., on a prison furlough I believe, manages to star in the second biggest opening day of all time after what...3 probation violations? Hey! What can you say, he's a great actor. Anyway, 4 stars if you like special effects, 2 if you're into something as silly as a plot and 1 if you like seeing the girl swept off her feet. |
