What a self-righteous, mean hearted article.

Fine.
Lets begin here: If you intentionally missed IRON MAN you have no right reviewing anything which is remotely based upon comic book/cartoon/pop culture lore.
You’re an elitist. Not the fun kind. Not the nerdy, fanboy kind like Kevin Smith.
You’re that kind who expects the best seats at a restaurant.

Yes.

So… angry about all the lunch money that was forcibly removed from you as a child, you now sit on your perch and spew reviews about all the things which make you feel better than the masses. Who incidentally loved Iron Man.
Again.. fine.

But … why review a genre that you obviously hate?

Your review is slanted from the start – and slides downhill with the resonance of derision with every wincing word.

Not a fun review of a fun, lighthearted playful summer movie -- which was meant to be....you guessed it - fun.

Not the unbiased comments of someone who just wants to report on what he saw.
No. Your "report" was just a nasty attack.

As if we need more of that.

Why?

You know… you sound an awful lot like Hook….angry about losing his inner child.
Sure you do.
Or worse yet, you sound like Hook --- scolding these two Peter Pans for all their wonderful Make Believe…

“ Captain James Hook: [to Peter] You know you're not really Peter Pan, don't you? This is only a dream. When you wake up, you'll just be Peter Banning - a cold, selfish man who drinks too much, who's obsessed with success, and runs and hides from his wife and children. “
- Hook, 1991

Hm. Yeah. Same tone.
Mean.

(Did you hate that crazy little MATRIX film too? Those crazy Wachowski boys – such idiots, eh? )

As for this article, you missed the point. Of an unbiased review. Of a fun family film.
Of being a little boy, scooting around on the floor with your Hot Wheels, imagination fueled by those very words “ GO ! GO !GO ! “

Maybe … it’s time that you did.
