Movie Review: Iron Man
May 9th, 2008 by matt
Wow.
That’s really all I need to say about it. This movie was fantastic. The acting was superb, with no one feeling like they were typecast (i.e., no Gary Oldman in the role of a villain). The direction was great, something I never saw coming from Jon Favreau back in his Swingers days. Don’t get me wrong, Swingers was a great movie, but who could see a special effects extravaganza like Iron Man coming from Swingers?
The only thing I didn’t like was some of the dialogue in the very beginning was slightly over the top. Like, the scientist who was in the cave with Tony and helped him to escape, some of his lines were very obviously said in order to affect a great life change in Tony. It was just a little bit of being hit over the head with those lines. But, this is such a very minor quibble.
Definitely go see this movie. If you want a bit of a cliffhanger, stay until after the credits. I won’t say anything more than that.
