The redesigns of the villains just killed it entirely for me. I didn't think it was that great to begin with. I mean, I'm all for updating a character from time to time.

But...
This.

Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

Really enjoyed this one, actually. Pleasantly awkward and very, very clever. Philip Seymour Hoffman really is a phenominal actor.

I'll admit that Riddler became rather fag-tastic...but I actually kind of like their take on The Joker *ducks tomatoes*. It's obviously not on par with the Mark Hamill version, but I kind of like it anyway - not as suave or as cool, but twice as crazy. I like a little variety in my Jokers, haha.

And - from a purely visual standpoint - Freeze looks 110% badass:

Old Freeze:



New Freeze:



...now really, just try to tell me that the fool in the bubble looks better than the badass update. I'll admit that the old series did a better job with the character itself - it just doesn't get much better than Heart of Ice - but aesthetically, the new version kicks his chilly ass.

I actually like the old one better. The new one looks like if you melted the ice there's a really douchebag-looking guy underneath.

Iron Man

WOW - probably the most fun I've had watching a movie in ages. Easily up there with the best superhero flicks to date...fantastic.

Not sure what I thought of the ending though (Spoilers Ahead - Highlight to read):

IMO, an Avengers movie could be pretty hit-or-miss...on one habd, it would be incredible to get all of those characters together on film, but might it be overkill? Plus, I really could care less about seeing Hank Pym or The Wasp...decent characters, but way too "comic book"-y for the silver screen, IMO.

But, yeah...great movie.
