Lets see if I can write a full movie review. And probably spoil it for everyone in the process. So the entourage went to watch Ironman at the usual cinema and also our usual seats.
I have to admit, I'm not much a fan of the comics, but at least I know who's who in the Ironman world. I probably more well versed in the Superman and Batman universe.
First of all I have to say I totally enjoyed the film. Hard to find faults or complaints. I even talked about it with the Earth638 guys, and they say overall they got it right. The movie didn't stray too far from the original comics. The filmmakers kept it true to the form fans loved.
I for one totally dig the iron suit (although it is suppose to be titanium alloy). The colours were spot on and the red, was a very nice red. Hot-rod red as they call it now. I believe soon it will be in in-colour for 2008. The special effects of the armour had a Transformers feel to it. I also the scene where the suit was put on. The way the armour was put on was wicked, so sophisticated. And when he wanted to take the armour off, well it had calamitous results.
For the cast of the film, I must say they couldn't have casted it any better. Robert Downey Jr felt at ease playing himself as Tony Stark. The rest of the cast played their role well. Terrence Howard had a scene which would excite fans about the sequel. He saw another armoured suit and said the lines "next time baby". Meaning, hopefully he will don the armour of War Machine for the sequel. An unrecognizable Jeff Bridges delivered a master baddie performance. Guess its always easier to play the villain than hero. And finally Gwyneth Paltrow played the ever-loyal personal assistant to Tony Stark.
Also this movie is not without their "product placement". Mainly the culprits here are Audi and Burger King. BK being the obvious early in the film, when after Tony Stark escaped his captives, the first thing he wanted was an American cheeseburger.
Finally for those who are planning to watch, as usual Marvel movies always seem to have an extra scene after the credits. Here we are introduced to Nick Fury who is the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division). And he was played by none other than Samuel L. Jackson. He mention the Avengers to Stark. Guess Marvel is really planning something big in the near future.
So that's the beginning of the summer blockbusters. Next up, Indiana Jones 4.
