Reptilian Desires and Imperfect Heroes

I love passively indulging in our reptilian desire for Hollywood blockbuster action flicks as much as the next person.  But I’ve always felt that good entertainment also leaves a little for the imagination.

A hero that is imperfect and grows throughout the films challenges to examine our personal expectations for their actions.  A villain that shows elements of compassion forces us to break the lazy mold of black and white bookkeeping, to use our imagination instead to enhance the experience.
