The typical Super Hero Film! Watched this with Mr.YS at Cineleisure Damansara. Well, seriously I know nothing about this film, not the film genre, not the visual kinds, not the basic understandings, I've got no idea at all about it , not until the film get started! hahaa! when the scenes started off, i was like: "hmm... is this IRON MAN? is it started already??" lowsy huh?! hahaa. but anyway, it's quite a nice film though.

I personally think that the storyline is kind of cool. i mean, beginning with a great genius inventor who is the billionnaire industrialist of weapons, being kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. With the given garbage materials, the intelligent man ended up by building a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. The experience then inspire and mould him into a better person when he realized how much damages and huge impacts his weapon creations had actually brought to the innocent people. He then started to have great thinkings and found himself another greater way of utilizing his genius intelligence. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.

Although the storyline is kind of typical and simple as it is derived from existing comics or cartoons, but overall, for me it is quite nicely done. Throughout the film, despite the predictable storyline, it actually added on a lot of knowledge in terms of weapon creations, cool and advance technologies, scientifics, some elements that would attract and fulfill specific audience's desires. That's why i rated it 2 stars! I'm sure this typical super hero story would not bore or annoy anyone, it is not childish at all, where i bet a lot of guys would appreciate and enjoy this film so much as it brings them back to their childhood hero! It is pretty cool, i mean, when u could see the hero building and designing weapons or the high-tech Iron Man suit, when he's talking to cool robots in his workplace, when you could see few cool vehicles there, the beautiful interiors with high security systems, blablabla...what am i talking about??! i just wanna tell you how cool and amazing the advanced technologies being used! it was absolutely awesome! Throughout the film, i bet there are a lots of stunned responses like "Whoww!" "Whoo..." "Gosh...", even "Wasseii..." "Walau...", etc. hahaa, all these cool elements had definately enhanced the so-called predictable and simple storylines Of course, humor elements are added as well. Furthermore, this film has inserted some relating messages to the people as well, public service announcement perhaps? some kind of "world peace" signals. hahaa!

-

anyway, i guess this film would satisfy a huge range of audience, from kids to adults. IRON MAN, the quite worth watching blockbuster movie!
