Cool Iron



Five reasons why I think Ironman is worth the money:

1. Robert Downey Jr gives Tony Stark a characterization never seen for any comic book hero before. His interpretation of a womanising, laid-back, brilliant and at times obsessive billionaire scientist is a joy to watch.

2. The Robert Altman-styled improvisation of dialogues gives the movie a realism to the movie, making some scenes remarkably impactful.

3. Ironman is all about technology - and the world we live in eats, drinks and breathes technology. It is a movie that attempts to deal with the constructive and destructive power of technology in a contemporary setting.

4. The movie is intelligent and superbly hilarious.

5. The Ironman armoured suit, if it really existed, and really worked, would be the most awesomest and coolest thing ever made.

I've said my piece. The money you spent on both the Fantastic Four movies could've been well spent watching Ironman twice.
