Ah, yes, summer season is upon us and so far "IRON MAN" is the movie to beat.
I did like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Sure it had it's fair share of problems and I'm sure the killer geek squad is chomping at the bit to tear it to pieces, but the purpose of that movie was just to have fun for 2 hours.
I think I'm at a point where : yeah, I got it a while ago that you can never go back an catch lightning in a bottle twice. (Star Wars I-II)
They'll never be another Raiders of the Lost Ark so why try bitching about the current one. Quite frankly I' don't mind that they tried, and frankly floods in Iowa, Darfur, the fact that the evil Republican party stands a chance in this fall election makes me cringe more than going over old arguments as to why Georgie Lucas and Stevie Spielberg rejected Frank Darabount's script.
Were there cringeworthy moments? Absolutely. But it was all worth it just to see Harrison Ford run around as Indy again. Denial? Probably, but I'll stick to simple pleasures with an inferior sequel and enjoy it as is.
Hell if RAMBO came back and kicked ass why not Indy?
IRON MAN on the other hand sure makes me wish that BATMAN could loosen up and be a little happier with his life as IRON MAN was pure eye candy for 2 hours. For a character I never fully got into as a kid (I read Daredevil, The Punisher, and Power Man and Iron Fist) this movie was right on the money.
PS Congratulations to Joey Rocco and Dave Ramos on their new kids, Christian Lampone and Julia Ramos !
