Who Do You Think You Are, Surfergirl?

Monday, May 12th, 2008

“There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there’s Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr). With great power comes great responsibility — everyone knows that — everyone, that is, but Stark. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Iron Man’s well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake.”

Maybe it doesn’t match quite as well as a Surfergirl plug-in, but it does an okay job.  That’s the first half of a synopsis of Hancock with Iron Man stuff thrown in instead.  Let’s see… rogueish, handsome superhero reforms himself in order to better help the world.  Hm.  Oh, wait, Stark possesses a modicum of intelligence and a level of humor somewhere above “toilet.”

Well, scratch that comparison, then.
