Great Fun

While certainly not the most mind blowing adventure yet, this movie is certainly a lot of fun. Harrison Ford is fantastic in his reprisal of his role as Indy. He does not pretent that he's the younger man he was in the previous installments and instead presents himself an older wiser Indy with a many reflections and a lot of knowledge to pass on. It's great to see that he still brings that unique comedic wit to the role that we all love. The stunts and action scenes are great. The story, which some might consider far-fetched, actually fits in line with the period in American history that the movie takes place in. Overall, while not the best of the series, the movie is certainly a lot of fun. If you're a fan, definitely see it!.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of the Best Comic Movies Ever
PostedMay 20, 2008

This is by far one of the single best comic-book adaptations ever made. Not only does it capture the spirit of the comics, but it stands along as simply a great and enjoyable movie. Robert Downey Jr is absolutely brilliant as Tony Stark. It's easy to see how seriously he took the role. He is completely believable, as well as charismatic and sympathetic. All the other characters were equally as charming. Jeff Bridges was an incredible villian. This is the first time I've seen a villian "fake" his good side so well. Up until he reveals his true intentions, you would never guess that his motives were anything but altruistic. Finally the special effects were seamless. There was nothing cartoony or fake about them. The mechanics of the suit right down to the flaws inherent in its design were perfectly captured (e.g. limited power, difficulty taking the suit off). The attitude of the movie was also incredibly fun without sacrificing any of the serious undertones of the story (war profiteering, self destructive personalities). Finally, there was a little icing on the cake for comic fans at the end of the movie. Sit through the credits, it's totally worth it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
