Block Buster :::: Iron Man has set off the summer Blockbusters


As I have predicted Iron Man was going to be the one to reckon with. It has surpassed expectations and is set to shatter its numbers even further when the final tally comes in. I hate to say it but I told you so.

The fact of the matter is people need to get away and this movie offers that. It helps that Iron Man is a quiet classic. Iron Man offers something other films do not and that is a chance to fight back with imagination and vigor of youth and the mind of innovations. Not to rain on the Marvel Parade but this is something that DC/Warner Bros, will bring us shortly with The Dark Knight. As I have stated before, we all need some place to go and with the economic sting, movies will be that place this summer, it is the least we can do to get away.

With Box Office numbers where they are at this time I expect to see some jaws drop at the amount of revenue this film will generate. So lets support such films. They bring us to looking in the mirror to see what is possible in our own minds and bring back to us, something we have long lost, and that is youth and creativity, something we should have never lost in the first place.
