Iron man

Rating: 5/10 (8 October 2009)

Like most people, I was disappointed the film fell into an enjoyable but witless Hollywood blockbuster without seeing out its mockumentary and political start.
But that was always the problem; the film had no way of truly following up on the initial style so the audience can only have felt somewhat cheated. The lack of imagination in the plot could have helped develop the underlying message - but I had certainly lost faith in why the film was made before anything was resolved.
But that can't take away the merits of the film - the successful CGI, and the anti-hero. So I came away thinking I'd seen half a good super hero film.
