Seems to me more like damning with faint praise than anything else.

Certainly not a very strong endorsement.

I was really looking forward to this single-sentence review, and find that it provides a lot more questions than answers.

I find that to be a very fitting single sentence review for Iron Man 3.

I liked the bit where Tony Stark wore a metal suit, and then stuff blew up.

Also the bit where it looked like the bad guy had won, but then it turned out he hadn’t.

(Two days on I’m still smiling about that thing which a whole load of fanboys are going to be very angry about, because the way it was played was just so darn amusing)

Will, are you talking about the part after the credits? It was funny enough to overcome my annoyance with most of the V.O.

Ben Kingsley was so brilliant I give the film a pass for a terrible last act.

I thought it was economical to make Iron Man Three and Lethal Weapon 5 with one budget.

I was relieved when Ms. Potts got some payoff after being literally treated as a trophy, but remain perturbed that Rocky Raccoon is getting a movie before Wonder Woman.

@Will

Yes.

@Kyle W.

I think he’s talking about the big twist with the villain.

@Liz

YES!

God dammit, I was just about to go looking for Roger Ebert’s review next.

Fuck.

Yes. Fuck. I wanted to read Ebert’s review yesterday and then suddenly remembered. Fuck indeed.

Add me to the list of people for whom checking Ebert’s review had become a reflex, and who also had to consciously stop myself, and was then sad.

Maybe somebody could feed all of Ebert’s reviews into some kind of database that could then generate reviews of new movies, based on certain data points?
