[11:33] Iron Man - Rating: 7/10
We went out to see the new Iron Man movie this evening and I was pretty impressed! I've never been a huge Iron Man fan but I know the general story line and the movie appears to stick pretty closely to that. Robert Downey Jr. was brilliant as Tony Stark and the special effects were most enjoyable! The whole film is similar to the Transformers in that it's a foregone conclusion as to what's going to happen, it's all about how you get there. Also, there's not a great deal of annoying boy/girl stuff to get in the way of the action :) I recommend seeing it if you're not going to get upset about basic physical and chemical laws from this universe being flaunted with impunity.
Don't forget to stay to the end of the credits for the Iron Man 2 teaser with Samuel L Jackson portraying Nick Fury. I was a little surprised that Jackson was Fury as I was under the impression that Fury was a white guy. Turns out that I'm incredibly behind the times and that there's this thing called the Ultimate Marvel Universe in which all of the characters have been "reimagined" to bring them up to date with current times and the re-imagined Fury was specifically (and with permission) modelled on Jackson!
