#movie reviews
a critic for the average joe
My reviews. Other reviewers seem to give high ratings to movies I end up wanting my money back for, and tell everyone to skip movies that turn out to be my favorites. For people like me (if there are any), these are the movie reviews for you. If you find my review wrong, post a comment and tell me so.

Update: I'm not going to be writing reviews of movies I don't absolutely love anymore. I don't make movies nor do I know all that goes into making one or acting in one so I don't feel it's fair of me to judge other people's performance. Moves I love, however, deserve their place in my lists.

 

Iron Man Loved it. 4 Stars

Awesome! Iron Man was all I had hoped it to be... not a whole lot more than I expected, but definitely didn't disappoint. Iron Man is one of my all-time favorites growing up, right next to Spiderman, Superman and Silver Surfer. Robert Downey Jr. played a perfect Tony Stark and the Iron Man suit was cooler than I could ever imagine.

If you haven't seen it, be sure to stick around through the end of the credits, if you're any kind of comic book fan.
 

The Lake House Hated it. 1 Star

Amazing movie!! It was so heartfelt and believable. I could totally see myself as Keanu sending letters to Sandra through a time-traveling mailbox. Ok, I'm kidding, it sucked and I laugh almost until I cried. Keanu Reeves is such a bad actor, and this movie's plot, though somewhat creative, is a riot... but it's not supposed to be, of course. I've always been a huge Sandra Bullock fan ("the Net", anyone?), but this unfortunate pairing just didn't have the spark they happened to have in their previous joint efforts (specifically, "Speed"). Guys, do yourselves a favor and don't let your wives/girlfriends talk you into sitting through this movie, because if anyone said it was good... they're wrong. Way wrong.
