Ironman – A
starring Downey Jr., Paltrow

It is fantastic. Fan freakin tastic. Go see it. Its a superhero who isn’t really that polite. He has sass, he kicks… butt. It is a well made, well acted, well paced movie.

WALL-E – A
starring WALL-E, eeevuh

I already reviewed it. I adore it.

Wanted – B++
starring impossibly hot-girl, relatable average-guy

Wanted has a lot of Matrix elements to it, I also found it compared well to another movie I liked, Shoot Em Up, with its senseless suspend-belief action. Wanted is about some tax guy who is depressed, sorta like stranger than fiction‘s will ferrell (one of my favs), except with more depressing complaining and less vacant isolation. So this main guy goes through this process and turns into an action hero, mob boss type. That sounds lame, but the plot is better than that. There are some neat elements involving bullet time (which really has become the theme of the decade, thanks Max Payne) and healing, curving gun shots. Anyway, it can sound hokey and all that, but its a good watch. They set up quite a few satisfying badassery moments. Not exactly an artful masterpiece, but highly entertaining and worth seeing.

The Incredible Hulk – B-
starring Ed Norton, Liv Tyler

It was good. It wasn’t ground breaking, except for when he breaks the ground (ha..ha.) I more saw it because I wanted to see the ironman + hulk + … for when they make the avengers. Its an interesting character and I like the performances of Norton and Tyler. The opening scenes where he does some weak parkour is pretty neat. I wonder if places in Brazil are really like that. The rest was pretty typical with good CG.

The Hancock – C+
starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman, Charlize

I wanted to like it. I sorta did but it was kinda weak. An interesting concept and it had a few moments but it was not very creative or diverse as it could have been. Decent ending, weak ‘actiony’ parts, weak acting. Jason Bateman is great though, I’m forever a fan of his. Its very PG to me. Almost like it could star Vin Diesel and a gaggle of kids he has to pacify. Except its a bit better than that, mildly funny, mildly interesting action.
