A few short movie reviews
Jun. 2nd, 2008 06:59 pm"Ironman"
Okay, Kate, you were right. I am not sure why in the last few years I've decided comic book heroes are The Awesome, but apparently I have. It could be the number of things that explode in those kinds of movies. Also, I heart RDJ, because who knew? You didn't tell me the Paltrow was in it! Although I am sorry for her feet that she had to run in those shoes, because, ouch. And the post-credits: OMG!
"Prince Caspian"
Yeah, it doesn't come out in England until the 26th. You think I was waiting that long? My gods, you people don't know me. Still, I'm still a bit unsure about this one. I mean, I didn't hate it. But I don't think it was quite as good as the first one. Or, at least, as measurements go, it didn't have me bawling at the end. Still, Caspian was kinda cute, Peter was very hot (single combat? awesomeness), Lucy was just adorable with her little friend, and the final bridge scene was rather impressive. Though a)I kept spotting what I thought were LOTR filming locations and b)I kept adding up how many things seemed to be, shall I say, awfully similar to LOTR? I should stop analyzing.
"Indiana Jones"
Coming Soon (whenever Becky gets back to me on a date)

Although, you can mostly tell the difference between them base on colour. Narnia is much brighter, even when it's evil. Just remember, Lewis wrote first and Tolkien copied him. :)
Indiana Jones might make your head explode.

Haven't seen "Indiana Jones" yet either. Had plans to but they fell through so who knows when. Also wanna see "Incredible Hulk" because the other version sucked hard and I hope Edward Norton can save this one. Love the comic films!

Yeah, I saw the trailer for Hulk and got really excited. Looks interesting, although I've never been much of an Edward Norton fan. Still...

I really do like Edward Norton. I also love Ang Lee films but his version of the Hulk was just awful. I do hope someone learned from it and that this one will be worth watching.
