Tin Man

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2008)

This is just a stupid anti-intellectual pile of drivel. Literally, I almost left the theater when he was building an Armor Suit in a cave in Afghanistan. How disrespectful is this to engineers and the scientific method of trial and error? Never mind crashing with broken armor, (but no broken bones). At least if they gave him "super powers" it allows the viewer to suspend disbelief!
There was some humor which redeemed the movie to 2 out of 4 stars. The Pepper Potts banter about taking out the garbage (she-journalist) and the robot arm. Some of the holographic computer manipulators were actually legitimate science fiction.
However, the dry conclusion and a lack of caring for the actors, led me to actually leave the theater a couple minutes before the closing credits. this is something I almost never do.
