Burning Your Bridges: Jeff Bridges Lets Rip On 'Iron Man' Movie!
2008's Iron Man represented a simpler time for superhero films — Mickey Rourke wasn't flicking electrical cord, Sir Ben Kingsley wasn't punking us, and Pepper Potts still existed. Where the first Iron Man is normally universally praised as pretty good, it looks like at least one person isn't a fan — and that person was one of the stars.

It's one small step for film, one giant leap for cinemakind. Looking at the the ultimate examples of the science-fiction genre, what do the great films all have in common? They all ask big questions about the future — where are we going as a race? Is there any other life in the universe?
