Review:
I had seen Iron Man 1 & 2 by the time this movie came out, but I must confess...I was actually one of the few people that did not see The Avengers.  So I decided that since The Avengers looked more like it should have been called "Iron Man and the Avengers," I wanted to see it first.  I'm glad I did.  Iron Man's experience with The Avengers was definitely a big part of the third Iron Man. 

Of course, Iron Man 3 was very action-packed and humorous, just like the previous films.  I still maintain that Don Cheadle steals the show, which is difficult to do from Robert Downey Jr.  Even if you haven't seen the Iron Man 1 & 2 or The Avengers, you would still enjoy this film for sheer entertainment purposes...you just may be a little confused.  I hate to tell people to do homework before they see a movie, but this film is best enjoyed when you know what happened in the previous films.

Prometheus

Movie:  Prometheus
Major Actors:  Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce
Rating: R
Best Audience: Obviously, this has an R rating, so only 17 and up can get into the theater to see it, however, probably 13-year olds and up would enjoy it.  You also have to appreciate Sci-Fi to enjoy it.  And of course, fans of the movie Alien will definitely enjoy it.

Review:

I found this movie to be quite awesome.  Even though it is *technically* a prequel to the movie Alien (with Sigourney Weaver), you do not have to see Alien to enjoy it.  The movie answers the question from the Alien movies of "From where do the aliens come?"  However, it also raises way more questions than it answers.  It talks about a theory about where homo sapiens come from as well.

For the casual movie-goer, this would be a little difficult to follow.  However, if you like a movie that makes you think, and also has a lot of action and suspense, this would be for you.  Also, if you are a fan of the Alien movies, the last 10 seconds of the movie are for you!

In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed Prometheus, but I recognize it isn't for everyone.
