I've only seen the last two (not The Reader), but I'd say my feelings were pretty much the same as you about Narnia and Iron Man. <BR/><BR/>Regarding the disappointing lack of consistency in Iron Man, it reminds me of the way I also felt about The Kingdom. Wonderful moments of insight clouded by the overall celebration of the myth of redemptive violence. It's like moviemakers and writers are trying to see a way out of the myth, but can't quite believe fully that, when it comes right down to it, violence isn't the necessary saviour from the violent. <BR/><BR/>Remind me: has there ever been a significant action movie that has portrayed an alternative with some consistency?Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391426206936180224noreply@blogger.com
