Yes I love super-hero movies. However I’m very picky with throwing around the word love. Batman Begins… loved. V for Vendetta… loved. X-Men 2… loved. Iron Man… loved.
Iron Man came out this Friday May 2nd, and it was actually a good movie. The trailer was less than stellar but the reviews for the film were drawing some nice comparisons, notably with Batman Begins. By no means is it of the caliber of Christopher Nolan’s reinvention of the dark knight, but it does stand on its own as a film with a good origin story, tight acting, and really flawless CGI.
I don’t want to give much away, but one of the contemporary issues the movie covers is war profiteering. Also stick around till the end of the credits. It is totally worth it if you understand your Marvel comics.
Highly recommended.
