Review: Iron Man
Well, I finally went to go see Iron Man and I am so glad I got a chance to see it in the theater before it went to DVD because it was awesome!
Ploy summary from moviefone.com:
Wealthy philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) develops an invulnerable robotic suit to fight the throes of evil. In addition to being filthy rich, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is also a genius inventor. When Stark is kidnapped and forced to build a diabolical weapon, he instead uses his intelligence and ingenuity to construct an indestructible suit of armor and escape his captors. Once free, Stark discovers a deadly conspiracy that could destabilize the entire globe, and dons his powerful new suit on a mission to stop the villains and save the world.
I really wasn’t expecting much from the movie because I didn’t know anything about it or really Iron Man in general, so I had no preconceived ideas about what to expect. Well, I ended up loving it! I personally think it was the best movie I’ve seen this summer. I really couldn’t find one thing not to like about it (and believed me I tried). It’s very fast paced so it wasn’t boring as all, it had a great storyline, great characters, funny dialouge, and on top of all that it was just a highly entertaining movie. I thought Robert Downey Jr. was perfect for the role of Iron Man which I found pleasantly surprising. In fact, all the actors were great in their roles. And all the gadgets and special effects were so cool to see. It was just a very exciting movie and I was surprised by how funny it was too.
I hate to say this since I’m sure it’s going to be the biggest movie of all time or close to it, but I liked it a little better than The Dark Knight. Which is saying a lot because that movie was awesome too. Bottom line: I’d say it’s definitely a must see movie. It’s a great comic book adaptation and just a great movie in general.
I really hate giving really high ratings unless they really deserve it but, like I said, I really don’t see anything wrong with this movie so I’m forced to give it 5 stars.
My Rating:
Absolutely Loved it
