Thats right. Im talking to all you babies out there who dont like movies that just blow you out of the theater because they are so entertaining and you walk out and you want to be Ironman, or if you are really a baby and maybe you stumbled onto this blog by pushing the right combination of random letters on your daddies computer or you might be a super baby who can read and right and has a solid understanding and a rationale and I.Q. well beyond normal baby means, but whatever the case may be that involves babies...you shouldnt see this movie.
I walked into the movie with a whole list of critics that are eating, sleeping, praying, and pooping
Ironman's supercede-ance of all other comic book movies. I literally had printed off a list and was distributing them to the crowd so if anyone, as the credits rolled, thought the movie sucked, they would have cold hard proof that 1)They dont know anything about movies or what goes into a good movie, and 2)they are quite possibly the most retarded person in the theater, taking into account the actual downies that were cheering right along with me. It got rave reviews so I was going in with a high bar (not literally).
No spoilers in this review kids, but I will say that Jeff Bridges was menacingly good as a villian, and RDJ kicked my balls up through my throat and now I talk like a girl. The acting was superb, of course, and I knew it would be, but one character I was really disappointed to see die was the doctor (Yinsen played by Shaun Toub) who saved Stark's life.
The one thing that really enraptured me was how insanely smart Tony Stark is, and how insanely awesome his computer system is. He is obviously still the head designer for Stark Enterprises and its even brought up later how awesome he really is when Obadiah is yelling at one of the scientists who has continuously failed to create the "mini arc-reactor" even with all the money and equipment necessary when Stark did it in a cave with spare parts. What does the scientist say? "Im not Tony Stark."
Im gonna say it...Hes just super badass.
The visual effects had a couple issues, but nothing really to get all upset about. Oh and I hated the post-credits scene with Samuel L. Jackson. It is exciting to think that there is definitely a sequel coming, but RDJ just does it for me. I like his style, and I dont want to see him take a backseat to Jessica Alba or Eric Bana or Edward Norton. I know that Marvel announced
Ironman 2, Captain America, Thor, and
The Avengers, but I thought Samuel Jackson was back as the Glassman.
Its only about 10 seconds and it really isnt worth seeing because it leaves Jackson's overacting bad taste in your mouth.
