dint match up to the hype

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2008)

the movie was getting very good reviews as the days went by after its release. i ignored them for couple of weeks. then finally having nothing to do with my evening, i went to see the movie that was making some serious dough at the box office. it was a visual treat but it fell short of my expectations. a millionaire playboy turning into a hero, couldn't go well with me. i mean batman is portrayed more human and vulnerable, makes him such a likable character. i missed that connection in ironman. in case of spiderman, i was right in the movie. after all that story buildup in the first half, the 2nd half lets itself down with a little too less to show. the only best part of the movie was Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. she is beautiful and has suitably played her role as pepper. she is this serious-business secretary in a moment, and a romantic seductress in another. this subtlety of character change dint happen so well with Robert Downey as ironman or tony stark... the robotics and the flying sequences are very well made. liked them a lot. the key is not to be too critical in order to enjoy this movie.
may be i will watch it again to soak in all the visual splendor this movie has to offer.
