First off, I'd like to plug my buddy Tom's blog. He posted his own review of Iron Man last week, and it was genius. Especially after seeing the movie...
My buddy Cory and I, after a healthy dose of Lego's Star Wars on the Wii (I'll review that too after I've played it some more...) headed over to Paseo Colorado and watched Iron Man. It was outstanding. Seriously. This movie is up in the Pantheon of comic inspired films. It's a hard line to walk when creating one of these films, people often get too artsy, when really I'm there to watch things blow-up, cool cars and cute girls.
Let's go over the list of the pluses of the movie first:
Explosions: Iron Man delivers some serious explosions. He blows up a tank, whoops up on some terrorists and generally lets loose. Perhaps the best scene was Iron Man making his way across the world to some small town in the middle east and pounding on the local terrorists. Anytime one shows off strength by reaching through a wall and pulling the antagonist through it. That's sweet.
Cool Cars: Iron Man's alter ego, Tony Stark, just so happens to be as rich as Batman, but a whole lot smarter in the sciences. With these said riches, Tony has purchased some excellent rides. Especially the Audi he rolls around town in.
Cute Girls: Pepper Potts. Nice.
Rock Music: I was a little disappointed that the closing version of Iron Man did not feature the vocals of Ozzy Ozbourne, but overall I loved Iron Man's rock music. Anything that utilizes Audio Slave...I'm a fan.
Overall...I recommend Iron man.
