Iron Man - boredom deluxe or why the modern eternal hero sucks

tv_iron_man

As as 41 year old fart I have to come to accept that any action movie is made for my opposite age of 14. But even at that age one must be bored by all the endless repetitions and lack of any story line?!

It seems to me that today’s eternal heroes are a bunch of idiots and "boys" instead of real heroes. The essence of the (male) hero is that a boy transcends his childhood, faces pain and humiliation - to finally accept responsibility and face "evil" on his journey to manhood.

Modern day heroes always seem stuck in the boyzone forever. Iron Man sucks as much as so many comic movies before this disaster. Go and watch something else.

Plus: as much as I like Robert Downey Jr. he always seems to play the same character just in different settings. I like his trickster qualities, but I am bored by the endless typecasting of his producers. But from what I have gathered from interviews he seems to like that kind of crap - and even loves the idea of another Iron Man. The eternal kid playing the hero … indeed …
