Truly fabulous movie, slightly spoilt in minute areas

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2008)

Out of all the Marvel and DC genre movies, Iron Man must top the lot in all areas. A truly fabulous blockbuster of a movie all round. (Definately worth seeing at any time and most definitely worth buying for any home cribs, movie collection). Unfortunately what ruined the celluloid cliffhanger for me, in not making it a stellar 10 out of 10, was the erratic casting, absolutely great in 50% of it, but the other half was dire and un thought of,(Some of the supporting cast,left a lot be desired). Areas of the production was a bit patchy and incoherent, only masked by the noise and fast pace of the story line. The swansong ending of the movie, appeared to be a rehash of "Transformers". The feel,action, sound and music was all reminiscent of last years kiddie blockbuster. For all die hard super hero fans, Iron Man was true to its storyline and comic history. There is no need to allay any attempt, to be smart and try to be clever about the facts and figures, of the life and storyline of Tony Stark.. The movie spelt it out in droves. It could have been perfect, but as with anything metal, it all has its imperfections, the sequel could become in danger, of getting very rusty!!!!!
