I don’t get out much, but this weekend, my hubby and I actually got to see a first run movie, before it came on TV.
Iron Man was entertaining and generally on my approve list. Considering movies like Mary Poppins is my usual preferred genre, Iron Man is pretty exciting for me. I would’ve liked to see Iron Man do more cool stuff though.
The movie made me think about the type of hero we tend to like: The rugged individualist, defies the establishment, able to get out of tight situations by being quick on his feet, strong and tough yet has a soft spot. It matters not that he lives an immoral lifestyle. He can be a heavy drinker, a womanizer, practices promiscuous sex, and a liar. We overlook all that because he’s just so cool.
That’s the kind of role model we set up for our kids.
