Iron Man

I just watched the movie IronMan…one word: WoW!

I have been waiting for this movie since February. And I was completely blown away. I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. It is as amazing as the trailers made it out to be. :D There was a lot of explosives, aerial dogfights, flying mishaps and more! You got to check it out. I have learned to be rather picky with the superhero movies I watch since there are those that are not worth bothering with (i.e. Superman with Brandon Routh, Incredible Hulk and others) while there are those that I absolutely loved with Iron Man being one on the top of my list.

Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark

A great reason why the movie is so entertaining for me is because Robert Downey Jr is cast as the playboy/billionaire and gadget whiz Tony Stark. He brought a great dose of personality to the role. Downey effectively portrayed the different facets of the character - morose, troubled, defiance - plus he was funny when he needed to be. I absolutely enjoyed the press conference at the end of the film. Must see. :)) I know that the movie wouldn’t be as engaging if the lead role was given to another actor.

Also, Most of the supporting cast was great. I actually like Terrence Howard character which acts as Stark’s antithesis, meanwhile Jeff Bridges was almost unrecognizable on this film by sporting a bald head and beard to portray the co-owner of Stark Industries. But I found Gwyneth Paltrow pretty but a little annoying as Stark’s assistant. Overall, the movie is worth the money and time spent.

If you want to see the trailer, you can check out an Iron Man preview on the Videos to Share widget on the right column of the screen. Just browse through the widget until you find it. ;)

But preferably, visit your nearest movie theatres and see the movie for yourself! ^^ When you watch the movie, wait until after the credits - there is supposedly something there. I will watch the movie again (just because I want to) and make a mental note to NOT leave until after the credits.
