An Experience

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2008)

Does a summer blockbuster get better than this one?
Well, at least in this day and age....I don't think so.
As I have grown older, I am more cynical of films. I am frustrated more by the flaws....clichéd plots, over indulgence of CGI and poor writing are just some examples of the problems of movies these days.
I have spent too much of my life wasted watching bad movies that were supposed to be good (Independence Day for example).
I knew going in that Iron Man was well-received. I expected a good film. You know what? I got it.
From a great lead character (thank god Robert Downey Jr. has cleaned himself up. He is great in this film), dazzling yet not overdone special effects, and direction that allows this film to go at a tight pace...Iron Man soars.
What an enjoyable cinematic experience. Not too often I say this, these days....
