Iron Man

May 10, 2008 12:43

I desperately need to find someone who found this movie as offensive as I did. Every review, every friend's recount and my boyfriend's face afterwards have only had astoundingly brilliant things to say about it so I'm beginning to question my own sanity.

Cut for extreme length of ranting and potential spoilers )

ramblings, movies, active non-violence

yeah I see what you're saying, and I don't mean at all to suggest that Iron Man is on the same level as V because that movie is MUCH more intelligent and I agree with you - I think you are supposed to feel uneasy about the whole thing.
But I think Iron Man has pretentions to being like that but sells out to something completely different.
And I still REALLY cannot DEAL with V at all. But like you indicated, maybe that's the message.

My reactions to the trailer also.
But alas, the boyfriend thought it looked fantastic and then absolutely adored it so... I was just along for the ride.
Next time I'm going to pick the Painted Veil or something - pay back

Oh I've heard it's really good actually. I want to see it. I just think my chances of persuading my boyfriend to go are less than zero. I'll have to take fatamorgana instead...

Well you know how much I hate stupid superhero movies.. so.. yeah. I'm behind you 100%. I find it very disturbing that on the weekend (friday night) at some point 3 of the latest facebook status updates from my friends were about how good Iron Man was. :(
