I saw it last night at
17H35, that was an
OK MOVIE, had a good time watching it which I would put it way above the crappy
X-MEN-ELEKTRA-DAREDEVIL-GHOSTRIDER-FANTASTIC 4... reunited (Blade was cool)
Laughed at every punchline
RDJ delivered and was thrilled to see
IRON MAN fly into the air.
The action and dark mood in the cave was the most interesting bit in the film where he gets to build the
MARK I armor and blast the
TELLY Buns !!
The rest of it we only get to see
TONY STARK, TONY STARK, TONY STARK and TONY STARK.
Not enough of
IRON MAN and when we see him it's only a test flight.
I had the impression that there was more action in the beginning then at the end?
RDJ was so good cracking jokes that I forgot the movie was about
IRON MAN. In fact it covered some of the flaws the movie had. His character was too goofy compared to the comic book.
Even while wearing the suit he cracks up jokes, this is something only
SPIDERMAN does during action, love the bit where he is silent and we only get to see the machine in action.
JB was pretty good as
STANE, brilliant.
I wonder how he can master the controls of the
IRON MONGER in a matter of seconds? And why he let Pepper get away so easily with the info on his hard drive?
IRON MONGER died in a very cheap way and the ending isn't spectacular at all. Stane seemed to be more interesting then his robotic Counterpart.
PEPPER was a bit cardboard, lucky she gets to save
IRON MAN?
Uh?
IRON MAN should be the one saving Pepper and smash IRON MONGER into a pulp with a spectacular finale but instead Pepper is the one saving IM ?
RHODEY's favorite moment is where he looks at the other armor, teasing the crowd as we know he will be
WAR MACHINE. His character looked more like an army bureaucrat wearing fake medals then a real soldier, the writers should have included a scene where he pilots the plane or a chopper or gun down a few terrorist while Tony got injured.
HAPPY was OK, just a cameo.
NICK FURY, geez , why can't we get a proper
Jim Steranko's version instead of
SHAFT ?
Samuel L Jackson to me, should be playing
DEATHLOCK on screen. He looks the part.
IRON MAN's armor is cool,
Adi Granov's design and STAN WINSTON's magic makes the
IRON MAN scenes exciting.
But his postures with the hands, makes him look like a ballet Dancer in armor, I hope he'll fly like Superman in the sequel with the knuckles at the front?
The village scene was too fast? Only one tank. Not enough bad guys in the film. Should have 10 times the amount of bad guys then a
CHUCK NORRIS, STALLONE, BRUCE WILLIS or SHWARZENEGER film from the
80's.
He is made of titanium alloy but his helmet was crushed easily by
IRON MONGER, a bit too easy.
The MARK I armor was really impressive, seeing it in action. I'd like to know how Tony can survive such a fall in both armor? The mini airbags in the suit must be really impressive.
I was also very influenced by the hype surrounding the show and the videogame footage where IM grabs the missiles in the air.
Was expecting much much more action actually.
=====================================
Compared to cheaper and robot genre movies like
• Hardware
• Robocop 1
• Robocop 2 (25 Million $ and 5 times more action then IRON MAN)
• Robot Jox
• Moontrap
• Gunhed
and other SCI-FI Flicks:
• STARGATE
• INDEPENDENCE DAY
• STAR WARS
• MATRIX REVOLUTIONS
Also based on the budget for
IRON MAN: 186 Millions + 50 Millions $ Promotion.
I'd give IRON MAN a 6.5 / 10. 
Jon Favreau still delivered the goods and did a good job adapting IRON MAN for the general public.
IRON MAN MOVIE = 6.5 / 10 NOT TOO BAD !!
