It's that time again. The time where movies made for the masses, filled with wonderful special effects and hilarious LOL! moments bombard us en masse. This is the first wave.
And a slightly disappointing one.
Iron Man, is another typical origins movie. Which means that it is made with a sequel in mind (in this case an entire trilogy).
The cast is filled with a few Oscar nominees, including an Oscar winner. Only one seems to be at home in this movie.
And you would've expected something more. Still, it's not quite "run of the mill" nor is it clearly a intentionally or unintentionally a B-Grade Marvel Movie (such as, say, Daredevil or Ghost Rider). It has its entertaining moments, but they are too popcorn-ish (But hey, wasn't Spiderman popcorn fare- albeit a good one- all the way?).
As much as some would like it to be, I strongly suspect there is no such thing as a "serious" superhero movie. Which isn't exactly a bad thing.
Ah, but I May has never let me down. Yet. So, I'm waiting. Speed Racer is next week. Prince Caspian after that, and then Indy 4. We'll see.
