So, you may or may not have known about the Chronicles of Owen, which ended abruptly at the beginning of the school year. But now it's the end of the school year, and I'm going to do a whole different type of blog! Movie reviews based on entertainment value. I get so angry that critics don't care if a movie was fun to watch, they only care if it has moral value or a complicated plot. See, let's look at "Amour". On the outside, it was a story about how life is beautiful, and stuff like that, but it was pretty much just a story about an old man being depressed and angry because his wife was slowly and painfully dying. Too depressing to be entertaining.
Today I'll be discussing:

| (Iron Man 3) |
which got an A- on Entertainment Weekly. I am a big fan of Marvel comics, and Iron Man versus his enemies is pretty awesome to watch. Both him, and the villains. Now, if you haven't seen the movie yet, skip the next paragraph
The Mandarin is an amazing character, and poses quite a threat to Iron Man, so SPOILER ALERT: Why wasn't the Mandarin actually a villain in the movie? I did find that whole scenario kind of amusing, but they ruined one of Marvel's GREATEST VILLAINS. Then I got especially enraged when boring old Aldrich Killian yelled in the end:"I am the Mandarin!" Which makes no sense whatsoever because he doesn't even look Chinese. Of course, neither did Ben Kingsley. The Mandarin looked so hardcore and villainous in the trailers. I also can't stand the fact that Tony Stark blew up all of his hard work in the end by destroying all 42 armors that he had.
In entertainment value, I'd give this a B.
I'd give Iron Man an A. Iron Man 2 an A-. And Iron Man 3 a B-. I thought making Pepper Potts a bigger character worked, and the basic plot was fine. But the final battle was too absurd. And as I read somewhere else, every character/armor's impregnability varied from scene to scene. One moment it was impossible to stop an armor, and the next it was possible. Paltrow must do sit-ups all day long.
