The Best Super Hero movie in 2 decades..

Rating: 7/10 (3 May 2008)

I'm not one of those that is impressed by "Spiderman" or recent incarnations of "Batman" (I think they all have poor story's and boring remake style) including a fan favorite "Batman Forever" but for the 1st time I found myself liking a super hero movie when they all make me yawn.. the last one that wasn't so terrible was actually the newest Superman but this movie actually beats it out..
So what do I claim the last best super hero movie was.. Tim Burtons "Batman" starter of whole franchises...
What I liked about this movie was that it had plot, it had acting and it wasn't over the top or too long (spiderman is a great example of this) and maybe it's possible that it stems also from the fact that I haven't seen any cartoon series of the show.. (though I'd never seen Fantastic Four cartoons and those movies were generally terrible) I like that in this movie Robert Downey Jr. has a ironic or albeit poke fun at self sense of humor.. and the fact that in some ways his character really does embody his Hollywood persona
One thing I noted is that this movie wasn't rife with Hollywood cliché's I expected to here it time and time again.. Jeff Bridges (the bad guy) killed his father.. never said it once (as far as I know) and in the end the comment about his father was more of a compliment to Roberts's character.. and what about the fact that Robert didn't exactly get the girl this isn't exactly a Hollywood typical fair..
So what can I say about this movie.. Best Super Hero movie in 2 decades!! Original, interesting, good plot, good acting.. worth watching.. it won't shake you with awesomeness but it won't leave you bored either.. thank Allah, (cliché') that Hollywood can still turn out something original.
