We will have one massive mediocre super-movie, playing on every multiplex screen, and it will go on forever. <br /><br />I think you've totally nailed it with regards to Tony Stark as well, but shit, can you imagine the movie without him? <br /><br />Steal away...JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319721431296639419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746189833925666296.post-61492790827569424842012-05-13T09:38:26.949-04:002012-05-13T09:38:26.949-04:00I knew I missed some of the subtlety of this film....I knew I missed some of the subtlety of this film. That dude was gay?<br /><br />Can I just say that I'm so jealous of your haiku explaining the plot that I have considered stealing it in some way. You know what they say: theft is the best form of flattery.<br /><br />I think I would have liked it more if it hadn't been quite so Downey-heavy. And I love him. But I do grow weary of his constant need to have the last word, to be the smartest, funniest guy in the room -- and how annoying I find it that inevitably the film tries to make you think he's more dimensional than that, and that you should care about him. These filmmakers have no idea how grating this can be for those of us who have to survive faculty meetings full of people who secretly think they're Tony Stark.<br /><br />Am I just being a crank, or does this kind of corporate merger of superheroes feel like Hollywood is starting to eat itself alive?Feminemahttp://feminema.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
