Movie Review: Iron Man

So I got to see Iron Man last friday with a load of movie buffs/comic geeks, and even though I am not that much of a comic geek, which would make this look like yet another comic book adaptation in the first place, but I….LOVED…. IT!!!!
Iron Man is a funny, well thought out movie, which happens to stay way clear of many of the common comic book interpretation mistakes that Hollywood has made in the past. Most of all they made sure that stuff doesn’t like too much like it was all done in CGI, which for me made the movie so much more believable
The actors were very well picked (Robert Downey Junior as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Jeff Bridges as his mentor) but I don’t think they will stand up against Christian Bale as Batman and Heath Ledger as The Joker in the upcoming The Dark Knight movie.
Iron Man wasn’t the best movie though that I’d ever seen, but looking back at movies like Spiderman 2 and 3 this is just so much in a different league, so go and watch it!.
TIP: Make sure to stay seated until past the credits for a little but very important extra!

May 7th, 2008Iron Man was practically flawless as a super hero flick; it drops pretty obvious hints that would indicate a sequel as well… i’m thinking the next one should be equally great

May 7th, 2008It’s actually going to be even better. There is going to be a Iron Man 2 movie (has been announced this week) and a series of movies based around the Avengers story, which includes the Iron Man character.
BTW: Look forward to the upcoming Hulk movie. It is NOT a sequel to the previous Hulk disaster, and I think it might be great this time. Even better, it might include an Iron Man cameo

May 14th, 2008I was shocked at how much i enjoyed this movie. Downey is such an unpredictble actor, i didnt know what to think. And yes i too missed the thing after the credits
