It's time for another review.
thats right

IRON MAN

From MARVEL

What is it:

Iron Man, is a movie based on the 1963 comic by Marvel, or more importantly, Stan Lee. The comic was originally released as a spin-off for the "Tales of Suspense" series, but it has since come a long way with its independent comic and loyal fan base.

this 2008 superhero movie gives due respect to the original comic book and if you were a fan of the original comic, or a marvel follower in general, you would watch and enjoy the comic.

What makes it great:

It pays homage to the original comic and does its due. you cannot go wrong with its graphical effects. it would make a grown man weep. everything there is just so believable. similar to Jumper, the movie makes you feel like building your own mark 3 once you leave the cinema. you'll want to fly i swear.

The action scenes are nice and plenty, but the bulk of the awesome is the humor injected into the movie. tony stark's I'll-do-whatever-i-like attitude is infectious, and you want to emulate him. only to be stopped by your bank book.

There is also a very nice build up where you see stark make his improvements and additions to the armor. oh. and there's the scene where stark sends his little "fuck you" rocket to the tank for shooting at him. awesomeness.

Also, the customary Stan Lee cameo will fill any fanboy with glee.

Why it sucks:

The action scenes. while they are "nice and plenty", they are very poorly thought out and choreographed. everything you see in the trailer, thats all the nice action there is in the movie.

WHILE NO MARVEL FAN WILL EVER BE COMPLETE WITHOUT WATCHING THIS, people who don't follow marvel will NOT ENJOY THIS MOVIE AT ALL. its a boy's show and i quote huiwen, "robert downey Jr isnt even hot." therefore i conclude that only BOYs will watch this movie. and some grown men too.

Should you watch it?

Well. it depends really. if you're a guy, follow your heart. if you're a girl, do you think Robert Downey Jr. is hot? there you go.

My Rating:thats right. 3 stars. after all that hype and stuff, it really isnt all its meant to be. the movie is nice for a movie, but its not epic. even though, if you see me on the streets and ask me about it, i'll thrust my hands in the air and smile, screaming IRON MAN! but to be fair, its only really worth 3 stars.

Where you can watch it:

any movie distributor. no dvd yet though. gg paying $10.50 for it though.
