Thanks for your impression.

Here is an excerpt of an interesting review that I found AFTER I wrote and posted this thread. (Honest!)

Quote:
We don’t want a fantasy movie to be a cliché, but we don’t want it to stray too far from the familiar either, and anyway Iron Man merely substitutes one cliché for another: must we be tricked into sitting through another America-as-root-of-all-evil message? Must this superhero be powered by super-shame?
