Iron Man vs. Batman Begins

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2008)

Let me start off by saying that I do indeed highly recommend Iron Man. The movie was well done, and Robert Downey was brilliant for the role. The CGI was incredible although I would have loved to have seen some more intense action scenes that dealt with Iron Man facing a more challenging opponent. The lines were great, the cast was awesome, and some of the scenes with Stark alone with his robots were priceless.
However, many people have come to say this movie is the "best comic book based movie to date". I would have to disagree. Although it was highly entertaining, Batman Begins takes the spot at the top. Iron Man was bit too unrealistic for me. I am not talking about how his suit was made but some of the scenes in the movie were a little too fake. I won't go into any details but perhaps a little more clarification on how this happened and so forth would have made the picture better. There were also some scenes that one would look at and say that would never happen (again not talking about his suit or anything in that manner). Batman Begins goes through step by step how he became who he is and what got him there. There weren't any scenes that made yourself say, "psh yeah right".
Again, highly entertaining movie and I do recommend it to kick off the summer. My advice is to stay seated through the credits...
