ayntryte discovered 2 months ago- From the page: "This is the first time a superhero flick this decade notes what's happening in the Middle East, and tries to say something about it. Other superhero films focused on patriotism, how we are "united" against evil, never spelling out what that evil is except for a bad guy out of Power Rangers. Iron Man doesn't have anything that a PG-13 blockbuster can't get away with showing. Insurgents kill American soldiers, towns are wiped out, and one scene recalls terrorist hostage videos, such as Nick Berg's. Iraq or the Taliban never get mentioned, but this is a summer action movie, not a Michael Moore movie. It's just refreshing to see a superhero face real-world problems instead of a man with robotic tentacles."

- Well written, good point. Reading old comics is hilarious as you watch superheroes beat up on extremely politically incorrect caricatures of WWII "villains".

- Good stuff, but I seem to remember batman fighting "evil as we know it" (poverty, organized crime, etc.)

- I dunno... Iron Man's social commentary was flimsy and its terrorists were just baddies for the sake of it. X-Men on the other hand was an excellent commentary on race and homosexual issues. This review calling it 'broad' really makes me want to thumb down...

- Not much that could make me want to see it more than I already do, but it's still a good review. The end of the review was kinda funny too, Captain America beating the snot out of Osama? Not bloody likely, but would be hilarious nonetheless.
