IRONMAN (2008)

Just came back from watching IRON MAN.
How was it you ask?
3 words…
IT WAS THE AWESOME!!! (Ok..4 words…you get the picture)

If I had a list of 5 favorite superhero movies of the past 5 years.
1) Spiderman 1
2) Batman Begins
3) Spiderman 2
4) Spiderman 3
5) Superman Returns

IRON MAN would be in the TOP 3, I can’t decide where yet.
Not only it looks good, it sticks closely (to the original comic origin series) quite close. Though I was never an IRON MAN fan, I am now.
The story:
Billionaire Tony Stark (Wonderfully played by Robert Downey Jr.) is a weapons developer for the US military. Middle-eastern Militia kidnaps him after a weapons’ demonstration. They requested him to build his specialize rocket called the Jericho.
He builds the IronMan (MK1) suit of armor to escape his captors. After his escape he realizes that his weapons are the reason people are at war.
He Improved his IronMan suit to wage war against those who use his weapons.
The rest you have to watch. As there is a plot twist and…
An EPIC BATTLE!!!

The breakdown:
Good story telling. Good visuals. Keep an eye for the fine details in this movie. The director –Jon Faveu did a GREAT job in the little things that matter. The CGI was great as you can’t really tell the difference anymore. The action sequences were good and the fighting was awesome.
Since this is an origin story, there wasn’t much to showcase except for the battle towards the end. The story was well written and well directed.

Watch it, watch it, Watch IT!!!!!! … before the Iron gets Rusty.

Watch out for the little bits of easter eggs here and there. Some mentioned, some shown. And like every Marvel comics movies, watch out for Stan Lee!!
Nuff said.
