Will Tropic Thunder deliver?
I read a post over at FirstShowing, analyzing the recently released summer blockbusters and if they have lived up to the hype. They spoke about Iron Man, Speed Racer, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian & Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. A little recap:
“Iron Man was fantastic, Speed Racer was amazing (at least I think), Prince Caspian was great, and even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was fun and entertaining. However, I think I’m alone in my thoughts this time. I know not everyone liked Speed Racer, most thought Prince Caspian was just okay, and plenty of you were let down by Crystal Skull”
I can only talk about two films as I have only seen two out of the four. Iron Man & Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Iron Man was good, not great in my opinion. It felt like a Batman Begins, after you watch it you feel a bit disappointed action wise but it was a nicely put together movie ( Well Acted etc.) but still needed more RAW action.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; I also liked. I am not a big fan, up until January 2008 I have not seen any Indiana Jones’ movies. I decided to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) I really enjoyed. But It has Shia Lebouf which I am a HUGE fan so I knew it would of at least been funny. It had it funny moment it dragged a little bit in middle and the ending was a bit off but overall a nice watch.
I think the first two have definitely delivered. I expect Tropic Thunder to deliver, I hope that they didn’t pull a Spider Man 2 and put all of the good scenes in the trailer. Check it out : Tropic Thunder Trailer.
