Top Movies

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2008)

I'm sorry, honestly, for those who really appreciated this movie but, as a cinema enthusiast, and since i think this site has got a lot of credit, i'm hoping that only serious people, who really love movies, decide to vote or express their opinion.
I have got nothing against movies based on comics! I don't think it is bad because of that. the first 10 minutes are great. It starts with a good music, not telling which so i won't ruin to anybody, and we immediately see the amazing Robert Downey Jr. acting. The man is, without a doubt, a wonderful actor. Gwyneth is too, i think, a good actress and, most of all, a beautiful one.
The movie is filled with cheesy lines, and really lame stuff like throwing a rocket to a tank and turn 180º and walk toward the camera, like a bad mo*** fu***! what is that? I mean, the movie is not a total crap, it's a decent comic adaption. The only reason i'm giving my opinion it's because i really don't think this movie deserves a place in the top list. not even close. I know, it's not the most important thing in the world but, we are people who love movies, we are the ones who make the industry work, we have some of the responsibility for what comes out. (this will lead to other discussion. Not important for now) People, please start seeing other things. Don't expect only the blockbusters. They are great too, i'm biting my nails for Indiana Jones, but this is no movie to be elevated to such higher state.
The effects are cool, the idea is fine, and it's a humble entertainer. Doesn't pretend to be a complex or a Oscar worthy.
if anyone felt offended by this, please share. I'm very willing to talk about this and all the amazing and infinite things we can talk about movies. Thanks
