The re-return of the great adventure

It's hard to discuss this movie without giving away any of the great surprises. If you have to compare it to one of the original movies, it feels most like Raiders of the Lost Ark. The story was completely different than anything we've seen in this series before. The action scenes were great and it really felt like an old school Spielberg flick. While the movie didn't have the spot on slap sticky type humor that Last Crusade had, it hit the right notes at just the right time. I don't know how this will play to the younger crowd, but the people who grew up on this stuff will love it. Do yourself a favor, and treat this movie like how we used to see movies before the internet. Don't read any reviews, don't read any interviews, just go the see the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Iron Man is the gold standard of action movies

There's nothing to not like about Iron Man. The special effects are great, the story is unique, and the characters are pitch perfect. Thanks to Robert Downey Jr., we finally have a comic book movie that you can watch a second time without fast forwarding through the non-super hero scenes. I hope Michael Bay and Sam Raimi take notes. Here's where Jon Favreau gets it right: Fewer, but necessary, lead characters. Comprehendable action scenes, you never weren't sure about what was going on. And finally, comedy that's ACTUALLY FUNNY.
Literally a perfect movie, I can't wait for the sequels!
