Why did I spend $8 on this?

Rating: 1/10 (3 May 2008)

I think the worst part of this afternoon wasn't even that I had to sit through the astoundingly bad heap of film called "Iron Man". It was the fact that I expected to enjoy this train wreck.
I can't pin the blame on just one aspect of the movie. The whole thing was awful! Everything from the script to the story (wait, there was a plot?) to the improbability of just about every special effect to the obnoxious political overtones to the sheer predictability of every "twist and turn" made me shake my head and ask why such an awful movie has to exist.
Don't waste your time and money with this disaster. It'd be more worth your while to set up a video camera, wave some action figures in front of it, and slap a title on it. That would be eons better than "Iron Man".
