Iron Man (2008)

Reviewed on Oct 20, 2008

Everyone loves it, and I think I know why. This has the best character development and realistic grounding of any superhero movie. But there’s a problem: there’s no drama. The effects are fantastic, and Downey adds a bit of personality, but what does Iron Man risk? What does he have…

Depressing, for sure. But is it anything else?

Hitman (2007)

Reviewed on Oct 10, 2008

Don’t care about the mindless, bloody action since the characters are so ridiculous. Olyphant is better than this. Kurylenko is pretty foxy.

Didn’t even crack a smile. How did anyone ever think Mel Brooks was funny?

Conan the Destroyer (1984)

Reviewed on Sep 17, 2008

Made during a time when all movies were a little awkward. Filmmakers wanted to try something different, but they weren’t sure how to do it. Bad acting, bad editing, and a score featuring two themes: “Something Bad is Approaching” and “Conan is Victorious”. One thing is for sure: Arnold had…
