As good as it gets

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2013)

After about 10-15 movie reviews on IMDb, this earns my first 10. I am not a fan of the Superhero movies that have been sprouting up over the past 5-10 years. I saw The Dark Knight, and the sequel to that. I also have seen parts of the Iron Man franchise. Those are all pretty good, but really Hollywood was just looking for a platform to serve up it's new and enhanced technology and techniques. They just needed a story - a shell.
Dark Knight reigns supreme as the best of these new shells, but this was way better than The Dark Knight. For this to actually get to me, is a testament to the greatness of this movie.
The size, and godlike scale of this movie, is a leap in movie power level - just like Jurassic Park or Terminator 2 was, or Avatar. If you watch this and don't consider it one of the best movies of all time, you are in denial and deluding yourself.
You will be blown away, and you will be happy you saw this.
