If you seen the trailer, save your money

Rating: 5/10 (1 May 2008)

First of all I never read the Iron Man comics so I had no idea what the movie was about. I watched the trailer though and it was tantalizing so I decided to spend a little extra to watch the digital version of this movie. I was quite disappointed after walking out of the theater last night. I was expecting Iron Man could offer me as much entertainment as the Transformers did, but the good stuff was already in the trailer and nothing more exciting was in the feature presentation. Visual effects were stunning, but did not give me as much awe as Superman Returns or Transformers. Storyline was straightforward, but too much time was spent on Tony Stark's R&D of making the suit rather than his adventure or fighting the villain. Too many dull moments slowed down the tempo. Honestly, I think the trailer was edited better than the movie itself. Five stars of of ten.
