Iron Man

Iron Man.

Breathtaking - is the only word that best describes the movie.

1st in the breathtaking list would be the Mark 3 armour, take no doubt about it. If you were to ask me, the Mark 3 armour actually put Transformers' transformation sequence to shame.


Evolution of Iron Man's armours.

Casting Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark played an essential role in the success of this movie as well. I could not think of any other better actors to portray Tony Stark as wacky as Robert Downey Jr. did. I guess my friend, Claire Lee would be very pleased with the latest development on this favourite actor of hers.

Next on the list would be Tony Stark's Malibu mansion and the gadgets in the basement itself. The mansion has all the to-die-for elements which I shall not elaborate here.

Last on the list would be the Malay Language translation of the title: Orang Besi. WTF?!

All right, enough air in my lungs now so let us stop taking in anymore breath. The movie started out slow, with a flashback on how Tony Stark ended up as a captive in Afghanistan. Once he returned to his Malibu mansion, the saliva-dripping session commenced with a few comical experiments and conversations to lighten up the fact-paced plot a little.

The only grudge I have against this movie would be the battle between Iron Man and Iron Monger which I deemed to be a little too fast short, too furious plain.

Nevertheless, I will still rate Iron Man as one of the few Marvel superhero movies that is truly entertaining (the other one would be Spiderman). Make sure you do not miss it! ;)
