Iron Man (4½ Stars)


Today's a new start for me. From now on I intend to watch a film with my grandson Oliver once a week. If he doesn't like the film I pick, he can choose a film himself from my large collection. Anything he wants, but it has to be in English. 

There's a reason for this. He's 10 years old, and I realised while doing homework with him that his Enlish is terrible. He's just started his third year of English, and it ought to be better. Much better. So I want to make learning English entertaining for him. I consider watching films part of his homework, but I don't tell him that directly. It mustn't feel like a chore for him.

It was difficult to make s start. I wanted to watch "Iron Man" with Oliver yesterday, but he kept delaying it until it was too late. He was scared that he might not understand anything. But today we watched it, and he understood what was happening, even if the dialogue was too fast to follow at times. He only had to ask me something once.

Unless Oliver says otherwise, I intend to start by going through all the MCU films with him in order. Almost in order. I intend to switch the next two films, because he's enthusiastic about seeing "Iron Man 2". That's fine with me.
