A good action movie

Suspension of disbelief aside, I found the movie a fun ride with good special effects, good action, some comic relief and some decent performances. I'd put it in the same category as Con Air (another action flick w/John Cusack), although 2012 didn't have quite as many big-time stars in it as Con Air (which had Malkovich, Buscemi, Cage, and a couple of others). Woody Harrelson was entertaining in this. If you like action flicks in general, this is a good one and worth seeing on a giant screen. If you hate action flicks, don't bother. If you're in between, it's your call whether to wait for DVD or TV.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

3 hours never went so fast

Great movie. Did the impossible job of fitting enough story & maintaining the impact of the book. The ending was changed, but in a way that worked perfectly with the story. Do NOT take kids to this one--the violence is graphic & brutal. There is also some nudity & adult language. I expected to hate the soudtrack, but no--it worked well. The acting was good, although Jackie Earle Hailey was on another level compared to everyone else. Story is completely unlike most super hero stories--major blurring of the line between good and evil, and very flawed characters.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

They did a great job on this old Marvel comic hero

I was never the biggest fan of the Iron Man comic books as a kid, but they really did a fantastic job with this movie. I was extremely impressed by it on all levels--acting/casting, characters, action, special effects and story. It looked and sounded killer, and I really was sucked into the plot. Go see it on the big screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
