Iron Man (2008)
NEXT: "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" (2008)
I really liked this movie. It might not stand up to a lot of tough criticism, but I'm not going to throw any its way. It's a fun, action, super-hero movie so some reality has to be thrown out.
They don't over do any one thing too much: political, romantic, etc. So it doesn't offend the senses too much.
I think I left the theater w/ some criticism of it on some parts, but w/ time those have washed away and what's left is the memory of a fun action movie w/ little residue to bother me.

Great final scene/line!

Logan's Run (1976) - 3/5
Logan's Run (1976)
NEXT: "Iron Man" (2008)
The first half has the same type of production as "The Omega Man", "The Andromeda Strain", etc.: bad '70's sci-fi. But the second half kinda frees itself from that and gets more into the story and implications of everything. Maybe it's just in contrast, but the second half "feels" a lot better.
It's a lot like "The Matrix" in some senses.
SPOILERS
Once they get out of the city, the movie isn't weighed down w/ the bad scenes and sets so that helps.
Haiku Summary
Future: all renew
when thirty. Some run. They die.
Logan runs and lives.
