Iron Man movie review
I went into Iron Man on the weekend with low expectations. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Iron Man or the Tony Stark character, and I also have trouble watching Robert Downey Jnr. My one hope with Iron Man, was that I would not walk out of the cinema as disappointed as I had been after seeing Ghost Rider. Fortunately, Iron Man exceeded my low expectations.
Iron Man is very much an ‘origin’ type movie. It goes about introducing characters and back story, and in many ways sets up everything required for numerous sequels. Think the first Spider-man film or Batman Begins. It’s perfect for those with no prior knowledge of the character, and works as a big dumb action movie you can sit through whilst eating a whole bucket of popcorn or wheel of cheese.
If I were to break the plot down into bite size chunks, it’d go as follows:
Iron Man was an enjoyable movie. Good if you’re not in the mood for too much thinking, and just want to see action and stuff blowing up. I’d give it a solid 3.5 out of 5.
In other comic book related news, check out the latest trailer for the Dark Knight movie. I watched this, and then had to have a little sit down. If this doesn’t get you harder than a diamond in a snow storm, then nothing will… July 17…

I think that is now a legitimate ailment. I think you can get a spray or lotion or something to help with that.

Was contemplating seeing it however after your review, methinks not. Shall wait for the DVD version instead, which should not be too far away…

Unless you’re a fan of the comics, you can probably afford to wait for DVD.
