Awesome-Paradox

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2010)

Wow ! Call it a paradox or whatever you want, but I'm actually having a regret right now after I finished watching this movie. Yes, it's true, and it's because it totally killed my desire to watch any other movie, because I know there's no freakin' way they can be this good (in the terms of action-comedy), not even close ...
Rather than praising, which would be too easy, hmmm ... or too hard, where to start ... casting, action, characters, humor, storyline, special effects ... I'll just point on one important mistake that put me down. It's the final duel between Iron Man and his sidekick, versus Whiplash. First of all, it's to damn short, only one and a half minute. I felt like when I was younger and I watched hours of introductory fights before Mike Tyson boxing match, and then he steps in the ring and ends fight at half of first round. That scene was supposed to last at least 4-5 minutes. And the scenery for it, a park, at night, with no one around ?!? WTH !? No cars to crash/explode, no collateral damage (except for the trees and park-benches). Because of this carelessness I'm kinda disappointed to that level that it swayed me from giving this picture a perfect 10/10 score to only 8/10
