Mostly just more action

Rating: 6/10 (24 October 2011)

Ironman sports a gifted cast, first-rate visuals, and is great fantasy. It's also action bloated, preposterous, and over the top. I have never been much a fan of the superhero genre and this installment in the Marvel saga only confirms my dislike. The action scenes get so stupid that you can barely focus without laughing. Some of the action is so preposterous that by the time the movie ends we almost start laughing. The acting is great though and the visual effects are impressive, but when it comes down to the facts; Ironman is just another Summer Blockbuster made for the purposes of money and an uncreative chapter of visual storytelling.
