It’s easy for old Iron Man to get unfairly maligned or overly celebrated in people’s memory.

After tackling fantasy in “The Neverending Story,” director Wolfgang Petersen turned to science-fiction in this intimate tale of opposing fighter pilots who crash-land on a dangerous planet together.

I’m sick of superhero movies, but when I relapse, it tends to be with the ‘X-Men.’ Director Matthew Vaughn (‘Kick-Ass,’ ‘Layer Cake’) reinvigorates things after a couple of less-than-stellar entries in franchise, including the abominable ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine.’
