Iron Man!!!!!!!!
May. 5th, 2008 06:41 pmWhen I see the position "Iron Man" takes in the IMDB's "top 250 movies" list I can't help but think "Oh, what is this world is coming to?" thoughts. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every bit of it, every flash of it's CGI explosions and every drop of Robert Downey Jr's sweat. There isn't much to say concerning the plot, it was mind-numbing and the highlight of it was the idea that making weapons is a bad thing. But this film wasn't about the plot, it was about the good looking special effects and they were delivered.
The winning move of the film creators was to have such an excellent and drop dead gorgeous actor as Robert Downey Jr to play a genius scientist Tony Stark with the physique to match his brains. He, who can build a mini-nova reactor in a cave and stick it in his own heart, whilst displaying his exemplary arms covered in sweat and blood. He was just like Prometheus of our times. And if you (like me) are secretly hankering after a fictional robot-boyfriend or two you would truly appreciate the stylishly looking new invention of Tony Stark's. Ladies! Meet Iron Man! He is shiny, slit-eyed, gruff-voiced and can fly!
Some other good points to mention will be the music score and Gwyneth Paltrow wearing the highest heels you can imagine. To summarize, if you are looking for a family film that you as well as your teenager children can enjoy, this is a good one.
Update: How could have forgotten him! I was reminded by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_reverand about many fantastic qualities of Terrence Howard and his Colonel Rhodes. May be he will also become an Iron Man if "Iron Man 2" is ever made?
