YES. I have seen the most anticipated, reviewed, high rated, iron-hard movie phenomenon of the year. Dubbed as second to Spiderman when it comes to opening week profit, and for me, the greatest, humane and convincing super-hero movie of all time without any supernatural capabilities or whatsoever. Exploiting the human tendency to be innovative, inventive and creative, Iron Man showed the true capabilities of human mind thru technology. Unlike any other hero film, Iron Man exposed how warfare and military profiteering ruin people’s lives from depressed countries which is something that we are familiar, i.e. Desert Storm, War in Iraq.
Before anyone starts to vomit about the never ending reviews about this film like, Tony Stark is a weapons manufacturer blah blah blah, I would like to tell you that I will never do that. You should watch the film if you want to know the details behind the characters. (Don’t worry, if there are any skeptics, the film is great. ask RottenTomatoes.com).
Now, the good points of this film are: exhibits human intelligence unlike any hero film (besides Batman, I think so), the performance of Robert Downey that is not actually for an Oscar, but never failed to justify the character Tony Stark, and of course the suit (You might want to bid for it if its available for bidding, i’d do that). The bad points: not much, but the only thing that bugs me is the absence of explanatory scenes. I mean by that is the scene that would explain what happen next on a certain scene like what happened to the rest of the shrapnel after the battle between Iron Monger and Iron Man and the likes. All in all, the film is very powerful although the Iron Man character is not that popular as that of Spiderman but this film made a special place in our hearts.
War Machine, you got to be true to your promise: “Next time, Baby!”
I have encountered this “too good to be true” movie last night entitled, “IRON MAN”. It was so cool and so awesome that i have only two words about it:
“Watch it!”
