sloppy seconds

Nowhere near as good as the first one (or the book, but then, they never are). The movie was totally disneyed, comeing in at two hours and twenty minutes of fight, fight, fight and no character work at all. Oh, and two characters making googly eyes at each other (which definitely wasn't in the book). The wonderful back story of the novel as well as the wistful magic of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was completely ignored to make it fast paced, presumably to pander to the attention span of younger audiences. But I hope it makes boodles of cash so they will make Dawn Treader and fix the problems...
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Best Superhero Movie EVER!!!

Well, maybe...if you don't count Batman Begins. Otherwise, this movie is awesome. Keeping enough of the elements of the comic book to be faithful, it succeeds in updating the story, and throws in enough foreshadowing to keep the fanboys and geeks howling for the sequel. Count me as one. The casting of Robert Downey Jr. was the masterstroke of this movie and Terence Howard, Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow are almost as good. Go see it today. And sit through the credits.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
