Iron Man - a bit boring
In a nutshell: A traumatizing near death experience turns an arrogant, super rich fella into an advocate for peace/Mr. nice guy. Unfortunately before starting his charity activities, first he’s got to build a super-armored, armed, flight suite and fight his evil business associate. Nice CGI, however way too little action for a Marvel comic adaptation 
The story: Tony Stark, multimillionaire tycoon/brilliant engineer/jerk/playboy gets hurt during field testing of a new weapon for the US Army. Even worse, he gets kidnapped by cave living terrorists, who want to make him build a weapon. In order to escape he secretly builds an armored combat suite prototype in captivity. The design is so promising, he keeps improving it even after being rescued. Big surprise, the improved suite comes handy when Tony’s business associate decides to do what ever is needed to stop him from changing his life and the objectives of their war profiting syndicate.
Flickcritique says: It’s not happening frequently that I fall asleep watching “an action” movie but I did watching this one. I had a quick nap, somewhere in the middle of the long conversations Don’t get me wrong, Robert Downey Jr. does a great job and Gwyneth Paltrow’s poor performance is being well compensated by (too) few super hot scenes with Leslie Bibb. I even liked the movie but there is just not enough action for a Marvel adaptation. Despite the eye candy and some good sense of humor I was a bit disappointed

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
In a nutshell: Aging Indy faces his forth challenge, chasing another ancient treasure, this time in a breakneck race against the commies (damn them!). Another Indiana Jones adventure - worth watching once 
The story: In the middle of the Cold War, the Soviets seek for what they assume was an ancient psychic super weapon that makes the A-Bomb look like a kids toy. In order to get it, they need the help of Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr. aka Indiana Jones. Soon, the evil Reds, led by pageboy style cut Irina Spalko find out Indy is not as cooperative as they wished he was 
The settings change, the race for the price speeds up, the effects become more and more impressive… guess how the story ends up? 
Flickcritique says: I was concerned my hero was going to be exploit but the forth episode, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is actually quiet good. I loved the hot pursuits! And Harrison Ford’s sense of humor! And the impressive CGI (watch out for the mushroom cloud!). Only the suffering from an Oedipus complex sidekick is a little annoying but I can look over this What I really liked however was the small hints and links to the previous Indy movies
Conclusion: It’s a typical Indiana Jones movie, even though Harrison Ford isn’t as young any more, as he was shooting the previous ones. I did not like much what the treasure turned out to be but I’d still recommend the movie to all Indy fans. And even if you think the previous Indianan Jones movies were prehistoric, give it a try, it’s much better the any recently released archeology-007 James Bond crossovers, as the “National Treasure” flicks
