Not even worth renting

The original Pirates of the Caribbean movie was brilliant. It was well written, funny, tightly acted, with interesting characters who have strong chemistry, and action sequences that added to the story.
The latest in the series has none of those qualities.
The story is tedious and dominated silly macguffins. The jokes fall flat. The actors performances didn't connect with each other or the audience. The characters were flat characatures. The action was occasionally interesting, but overall was just action for action's sake.
What should have been one of the year's best popcorn movies was tedious and dull. The only marginally redeeming element was the woefully underdeveloped sub-plot with the Minister and the Mermaid.
I would have never thought anyone could make Blackbeard, Mermaids, and the Fountain of Youth boring.
I was wrong. Save your money.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Another great Pixar movie. Great characters. Great story. Bring a tissue or three. If the first 15 minutes don't make you well-up with tears, then you have no soul.
If you get a chance to see it in 3D, then do so. Unlike other 3D movies, UP benefits from 3D by adding a sense of thrill and adventure. It doesn't detract, it enhances.
Whether 9 or 90, you will enjoy this latest Pixar classic
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fast, Fantastic, and Fun

IRON MAN is an excellent start for the 2008 blockbuster movie season. It has a tight script which wastes no time getting you into the action.
Robert Downy Jr. played a pitch perfect Tony Stark, the boozing and womanizing design genius of Stark Industries. Downy brought a snarky sense of humor to Stark that you see little of if you read the comics. His performance worked well to humanize Stark.
There are a few minor plot holes that are distracting, but less than in many comic-book derived movies. Regardless, the movie has a brisk pace that keeps you involved from start to finish in this superhero origin story.
NOTE: Make sure to stay past the end of the credits for a surprise scene.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
