Iron Man

[Greyhawk]

In a world (yes - read in that movie voiceover guy voice) where every other movie released is an American military bashing propaganda piece (Stop Loss, Valley of Elah, Lions for Lambs, Rendition, ad nauseum...) it's a pleasure to find one like Iron Man that offers exactly what folks who've avoided those other films in droves have been waiting for. And it's a shame to see a review that implies it's not. In short, the reviewer couldn't be more wrong - and I hope he'll actually go see the film and write another one based on that.

I went to the theater (on Friday night) expecting to see a bit of anti-American moralizing - per a few reviews I’d read previously. I was hoping it would be minimal. I was surprised (as the author of the linked review might be if he ever actually sees it) to find it was non-existent.

Enthusiastic thumbs up from me, the wife, two daughters (17 and 20) one boyfriend (20) and one son (22). Go see Iron Man.
