I read (and still own) Marvel comics from the 60′s and 70′s and have voted (R) in every presidential election since 1984. Saw “Iron Man” last night with wife and son and all three of us absolutely loved it. The NR reviewer criticism of the movie’s politics is far off the mark. Marvel now has control of the titles and if the reviewer thinks that Stan Lee (who makes a cameo in this movie as “Heff”) would allow anything very anti-American in a movie from Marvel Studios, they clearly know nothing about him. Have a look at the reviews compiled at Rotten Tomatoes: the very few negative review find fault in the movie’s positive portrayal of the military! My son is a musician and aspiring filmmaker and his comment was that brain-dead, hyper-political reviews like that make him “want to go out and beat up a hippie”.

Go See “Iron Man”!
