Throughout the majority of the film, I couldn't help thinking, "Michael Caine did it better". While Carrey gives a good effort that's usually spot-on, a couple of characters (ex. the ridiculously Irish Ghost of Christmas Past) came off a little weird. The animation was quite good and it allowed for some [ahem] easily-recognized individuals to disappear into their characters more than usual. There were also a few inspired moments that really shook me, and a couple of Oldman's moments that pulled me in. But in the end, the Muppets version is still my favourite - isn't everything more fun when it's sung?

What a blast! This film does what few action movies can - balance SFX with humanity. Downey Jr. does an excellent job in the transformation of Stark from a self-serving billionaire to a defender of the defenseless. His comedic timing is impeccable and the script is relatively snappy. There's plenty of popcorn fun here mixed with modern-day issues and political flavours, giving the audience a memorable thrill-ride. A must-see!

Just seeing the poster brings back so many memories as a kid, watching Star Wars with mom and dad, wishing I could have seen it in theatres like they did. Ah, the classic Star Wars one-liners. It was a springboard for so many geeks to come out and show their nerdiness for all the world to see! Really, though? Star Wars is a classic, no doubt about it, and I only wish they hadn't ruined this great trilogy with a mediocre follow-up. Here's to Star Wars, the best sci-fi film ever made.
