Iron Man is Hot










I beg to differ and defer Nico's review of the movie "Iron Man"...


I watched it in SM City Cebu Cinema last May 20th with a buddy and from a range of 1-10 with 10 as a perfect score, I rate it as 7...

Though I admit that the movie is really meant for older audience coz you will have a hard time relating to the movie if you haven't read prior the comic book or watched the animated version.

To begin with, only few of the younger generations know Robert Downey Jr. who played Tony Stark/Iron Man as well as Gweneth Paltrow who played Pepper Potts who is Tony Starks' assistant and later on became his love interest.

Well, Mr. Downey is fit to portray Mr. Stark who is a middle-aged egoistic cold-hearted emperor of the modern world in terms of technological warfare is concerned who later on became the iron-suited hero powered by his nuclear reactor heart after he was abducted by a terrorist group who forced him to create a weapon of mass destruction to there advantage. He manages to turn the table around and was able to escape and swore to protect the innocent, first from his technology, next is from the terrorists and tyrants who want to profit from building ammunitions.

If it was Orlando Bloom or Ashton Kutcher, perhaps the younger generation would be able to enjoy more but the movie will not be true to its original story.
