Iron Man

OK, so I went to the preview showing of Iron Man. Was it worth it?

NO, it wasn’t.

It’s quite a clean movie and has some great effects, some good comic relief and some reasonable acting but the storyline is clunky and it dragged on way too much in places.

It’s not a BAD movie it’s just not worth staying up until midnight for!

My Rating: Rating: ★★★★☆☆☆

What can I say in 30 seconds?

Transformers is …… ummm…….

OK, I loved it, it’s awesome.

There’s a couple of scenes where they use bad language or crude-ish jokes which is a shame but overall my opinion is….

Will someone pay for me to go see it again?… please?…. preferably the next available showing!

Surprisingly thought provoking.

The other X-Men movies were pretty good, I guess, so I went to see X-men 3 at the drive-in theater expecting much of the same.

I came away thinking that I had seen a good story with some fantastic special effects, possibly not as good a movie as the original X-men but worth watching all the same.

However, I also realized I had just seen something designed to make us think about our outlook on the world.

Just because someone is ‘different’ does that mean they need to be ‘fixed’?

Watch the movie and think about it.

We waited a LONG time for this….. but it was worth the wait.

Superman returns delivers in a big way with some stunning CGI and visual effects. It’s let down a little by the slackening off of Superman’s morals and while you are watching certain scenes you get the feeling it’s been done before but you have to see it for the beginning action sequence alone.

(please don’t believe anyone who tells you that Superman mirrors Christ. He doesn’t. The film makes tried to make Superman’s story in this movie conjure images of Christ’s story but they failed by showing that Superman gave in to temptation at times. It’s a liberalization of the Gospel which the world doesn’t need.)
