IRON MAN - May 02, 2008 - 06:40am
A solid A. I agree with Abbie that Jeff Bridges' character needed a bit more time to be hammered out - but damn - I'll forgive on tat and the 3-4 second "obvious" CG effects during the Ironmonger/Iron Man battle - becuase this was the best superhero movie ever because you got to see the "hero" more than the "super" - RDJr. was downright amazing and if you're going to rate the movie based upon the hero - he will win hands down. Watching his chemistry with Gwyneth made me feel uncomfortable - like I was a voyeur who shouldn't be there. By far and away the best comic movie to date and a solid movie all around. But not a "B." Also - Rotten Tomatoes has this ranked as the best rated film of the year and the best rated CB movie ever...

Couldn't agree more on the whole crossover thing - annoying and I've never been a fan. That's one of the reason I've switched over to smaller publishers - great stories, great art. I think the books being put out by Dynamite right now, Project Superpowers, Zorro and the LR are some of the best I've seen in a long time. Now I hear that a new publisher called Radical is playing around with the Arthur and Hercules legends - all pretty cool by me - and easy to keep up with (and by easy I mean cheaper)
