We Ken Make it Happen

I was very excited to watch the new superhero movie from Marvel, Iron Man. I’ve heard a lot of buzz from my friends that the movie is good. I think the movie lived up to its hype as movie goers flocked the cinemas for the real man of steel. In preparation for the showing of this movie in the cinemas, management of our local cineplexes have started pre-selling seats since last week.

I am a procrastinator and I never bought a ticket for the screening so guess what I did, I just woke up early on this Labor day holiday and was one of the first people in line to buy tickets. I’ve never done this for a movie since the First Spiderman movie was played in theatres.

I’m a fan of marvel comics, particularly spiderman so Im supporting their movies. Some movies Im not so fond of like Daredevil and Ghost Rider. After watching the movie, I must admit that this is one of the best superhero movies I’ve seen.

Since this is the first movie, a lot of the plot centered on the creation of IRON Man and the man behind the machine, Tony Stark. Tony Stark’s character was well played by Robert Downey Jr. maybe because he has a connection with the character. Other subplots were slowly introduced like a potential love interest between Tony and his assistant and the hinting of a new character in Tony’s military friend who will also dawn an armor in the future. But the most notable thing about the movie was the effects. It definitely helped that our current technology could already show so much detail on the screen. The movie was action packed and this movie will keep you interested from start to finish.

If there is one thing from the movie that I would like to take away (if it can happen to me in real life) it would be Tony Stark’s plane when they were flying off to afgahnistan. (you’ll know what i mean once you’ve seen it)

Movie Rating: A+
