REVIEW:
I just got back from the 9.40pm showing and I was surprised to see the theatre (Sunway Pyramid) full, I had to sit in 3rd row. There were 7 of us watching, 5 in 3rd row, 2 in 2nd row.
Iron Man was one of the better super hero movies that have been filmed. It was very entertaining from start to finish. The action was very entertaining to watch. Though I felt it’s not enough, but when the action scenes did happen they were very intense. It was a little bit slow moving in the beginning as well. I think this movie will do well in box office.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. It was fun for older people, teens, and even the young kids. The movie was not very bloody and didn’t have any sex at all. So for the parents who want to take their kids it was fine. The beginning started off right away with a bang. It had a lot of intense action and was very exciting. It was even pretty funny throughout. It was Robert Downey Jr. making most of the jokes. He was very fun to watch and did a great job. I think he was the best person for the role of the iron man. It was fun and interesting watching him putting together the iron man. I liked how he kept on improving the IRONMAN making one version after another.
The acting was very good. Especially from Gwyneth Paltrow who played "Pepper Potts" and Robert Downey Jr. who played the iron man. I think that everyone else nailed their job as well. The story was very good as well. I liked how their was a lot of flying and battles between the iron man. The visuals were so amazing. I think they should win for best special effects. Overall this was a very fun to watch movie, THE BEST MOVIE of 2008 so far in my opinion. I think this was a perfect Comics (MARVEL) inspired super hero movie and will be for a long time. Yes, it kicked THE TRANSFORMERS a$$ which I thought it to be Best Film of 2007 (ironically).
It was exciting, entertaining, and fun to watch IN THE BIG SCREEN. You have to be in Cinema to enjoy the CGI, Super effects, life size Gwyneth Paltrow and the "presence" of the IRONMAN. Don’t miss it…
Overall grade: A
