Grim, grisly, good

loved the book, the swedes have kept the movie true to the grim, grisly, good parts. people walked out during the worst sexual violence scene, perhaps not having read the book... their loss. i only hope the americans don't ever take this movie and ruin it by weakening the title character!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

ok, the truth is...

iron man is typical of the superhero genre, requiring suspension of disbelief on many levels. i thought the effects were ok, but the continual breakage of the laws of physics made them ring false, especially in the flying scenes. the holographic CAD effects were nice.
the message of the movie is that violence is bad, unless you're killing bad guys. sheesh.
all in all, the movie is entertaining. mr. downey was so brave to take this part! and only a very fine actor, like mr. downey, with all of his foibles, could make this movie interesting from a character standpoint. it is a plus that the movie had other top flight actors.
iron man only gets 3 stars, as not nearly as good as spiderman, which i would give 4 or 5 stars.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

ENERGY

Wow, this movie gives us Mick Jagger as the ultimate baby boomer, in unbelievable shape, exuding energy! The music is fantastic, the guest starts are terrific, and the direction, editing, etc. makes you feel you are there.
Even my 15 year old daughter was inspired, though she felt the wrinkled stars a bit creepy. She had just attended a Jonas Bros concert, and felt the Stones put on a better show.
My only reservation would be that the movie really is just a concert documentary, so if you are expecting a story, you will be disappointed.
The Stones still rock; Mick could make lots of money with publishing his workout secrets!
