Iron Man Review

WOOT!! It's been a long time since I feel so satisfied after walking out of cinema. Iron Man is the first one this year. (Nope, Cloverfield did not qualify thanks to the "excellent" service by GSC.) I will surely buy Iron Man original DVD as collection.

I am really really really crazy about Iron Man and on the first day Iron Man starts showing (Wednesday, 30/4/2008), I rush to the cinema and watch it on the first showing time, 11am. I was thinking, "If this movie sucks, then I can give up on Marvel movies." Thank god it didn't disappoint me.

The plot is very good and focus on the development of the character Tony Stark/Iron Man, something like Batman Begins, which I really like. You get to know what type of person he is before and after the Afghanistan kidnap, and why he wants to risk his life and do all this superhero thingy. The only weak part here would be the lack of depth on the villain. It's like he just went bad for no reason.

I really like this scene when Iron Man is flying and chased by 2 F-22s

The action scene is top class. CG effect is good and looks very real. The fighting scene is exciting and gets your heart pumping, (at least mine was) and I am very very impressed with it. I personally like the air battle scene the most, which involves two F-22s chasing Iron Man. It's just so damn cool!!!!! The disappointing part would be the final boss battle. Feels kinda short and simple though.

There is absolutely no complaint about acting. Everyone's performance is very good especially Robert Downey Jr. Everyone that watched Iron Man actually gave him a 5 star performance.

Overall, I will give this movie a 7.5/10. I really like it a lot. Who can deny a man with a near invincible armor and super weapons. That's just so cool! The summer movies has gotten into a good start. The next movie will be Speed Racer. Surely I'm gonna watch it. Let's hope it turns out to be a good film.
