Ironman

[Itachi Uchiha]

I have general knowledge of the Marvel universe from some bits i saw whilst growing up and seeing the older ones on the odd late evening back then. So when i saw that I clicked onto the eight rings reference and assumed they would be in it. As proved wrong, my assumption is that there will be a sequel as most people are saying

As for the film itself, I didn't like how it was advertised but some of my mates wanted to watch it and do I tagged along. Surprisingly (like in the review and with other members) I enjoyed it. It was better than previous Marvel films. I liked the background of Stark as it seemed better than other hero background. I mean look at Spiderman: He gets bit by a spider and gains powers. He shows these in some clueless way in his school and no one can put two and two together to work it out *sigh* Ironman's background was on par with the Batman one which in its own right was a brilliant film.

But anyone, I talk too much. The film, the action and everything was awesome to the extent I would go to watch it again without second thought.

I'm suprise to hear people saying this movie even had action. Uhh what action? There are only 3 action parts in this movie, the beginning, where he wears the suit for the first time and like you gotta wait about an hour until you see another action which lasted only like 5 minutes (this was the only good action part of the movie) and at the end of the movie where he fights the another suit. If you combine all that its only like 15 minutes of action, not to mentioned that the movie was 2 hours long. This movie has no action. Robot fighting movies like robocop back in late 80s and early 90s was far beter than ironman

That's because people's definitions of action and what is important in what they consider a good movie are not the same. I admit that the movie Ironman did not have protracted battle scenes like other Marvel movies. But then, that's not what I was looking for in it. I got exactly what I wanted out of it. You may find that the next one will have more time for action, seeing that it doesn't have to set up backstory.

Or maybe it's just not for you.
