Well done, Mr. Abrams

J. J. Abrams does it again. He's produced something that can appeal to the masses. I'm far from a Trekkie, but my roommate was growing up. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, from overall plot and character development to the special effects. My roommate concurs, in addition to the "wrinkles" that were thrown in to connect to the original series. Mr. Abrams, you've got yourself a winner!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Family Fun

I will not pretend to be a super huge Indiana Jones fan. I loved the earlier movies, but I'm not going to get too deep into this storyline and that CGI effect. The bottom line is, this is a fun and entertaining movie, which is great for the whole family. There was no unnecessary violence. I didn't need to see people getting shot and blood spewing about. And I didn't. Thankfully. I would have no reservations about taking my nieces and nephews to see this. It's a good time. If you're looking for Oscar-worthy performances that you can critique and dissect, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a good time and a couple laughs, go see this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

True to it's roots

Comic adaptations are great when they can be put on the big screen without losing the basic elements that made them great comic books. Iron Man did just that. It stuck to the story, while still able to modernize it to present day. It also helped that a QUALITY core of actors were tapped in to this project. If you know about Tony Stark, and you know about Robert Downey Jr., then you know he is an ideal fit as the brash and sometimes reckless Stark. Guys, don't be afraid to take your girls to see this one, it's got a little something for everybody. Can't wait to see it again, and then the sequel (Of course there's going to be a sequel!).
Yes, I recommend this movie.
