Well Done Iron Man!
When I talked with my brother last night, the first thing he told me is to go and watch Iron Man. Sometime after that, when I arrived to my office, I saw similar reactions from my colleagues. I am delighted that after a long time a good movie has arrived in the market and am definitely looking forward to watch it.
Much against the hype and posters, I thought this movie would be a flop show. But I am glad to admit that I misjudged the movie completely. Downey played a very good Tony Stark, in generally every way. From his jokes to his obnoxious lifestyle he looked and walked the part very well. His banter with his right hand assistant Ms. Pepper Potts isn’t mind numbing and actually found myself laughing aloud at some of the wit.
The movie itself moved at a very good pace. Mixing action, comedy and some drama to just about the right proportions. As with most superhero movies, its rather predictable, but in all the right ways you’d want a superhero movie to be. The animation used was almost seamless, and of course the Iron Man costume was kicking major ass.
My only gripe with the movie was the fact that several characters were thrown into the mix with little behind them other than 2D character attributes. Leslie Bibb’s character, Christine Everhart, is pretty useless other than the two or three lines she has. Hardly worth a hardbody like Leslie Bibb to play. Several other characters didn’t feel fleshed out at all. Raza (Faran Tahir), Obediah Stone (Jeff Bridges) , and even Jim Rhodes (Terrence Howard) feel hollow in the fact that they have little justification for many of their actions.
I will score this movie as 8 out of 10. A movie worth watching once!
