Iron D**k Head

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2008)

This movie should have been called Iron D**k Head because this character whose supposed to be a "genius" who designed weapons of mass destruction just thinks with his penis. This movie thrives on the theme of masculinity and machismo instincts. Furthermore the style at which it was made with all the cheesy dialog makes for some of the shallowest media productions since the NBC show LAS VEGAS. Honestly why do we feel the need to make hero's out of people like this. This Stark character is nothing more then a shallow 2 dimensional fool, who only wishes to buy the most expensive cars, f**k the ditsiest whores, get drunk on liquor daily, and making that dollar. And that's where the magic of the film lies it's because most of the people in the audience are just as shallow as he is. They too reminisce about these narcissistic fantasy's which is why they fail to see just how much associated with vice and self indulgent this character is. And most people are probably thinking "so what's wrong with that" well I'll tell you what's wrong wrong with. Even though this character supposedly undergoes "personal changes" in the movie people in real life who engage in the same life style will just likely continue in this decadence until eventually their cockiness over so many years of never taking time to reflect will leave their souls inert, and unreachable through all the sarcasm and ignorance. Another problem I have with this movie is the the stereotypes. I'm not talking about the portrayal of Muslims I'm talking about the person they chose to be the villain. Just like a Disney movie the main villain is always the ugliest evil looking guy. In the case of this movie it's the dudes with bald heads and menacing looks plastered on their faces. They might as well walk around with a sign saying "I'm an evil mastermind." One character even gets uglier as his more sinister motives are revealed. And why does it have to be so unrealistic. No modern day weapons designer has that advanced home technology; holographic grid screens (those things are really getting overused), artificial intelligence systems so advance they could addition for parts in the next terminator movie. And if that finale epic battle had really taken place in real life where Iron Man gets bashed around in the middle half by his bald headed evil rival in the other suit the other man would not be saying clique' lines to taunt him like "You've made your father proud,... for a man would wanted to rid the would of weapons you've given it it's best one,... come on you can't beat me I'm stronger than you...", in real life it would have been something more like, "What, foo?,... you want some mo?,... come here mutha****er,... whatcha gonna do?,... yeah you better run,... p***y", OK it doesn't have to be that crude but it doesn't have to be that lame either. I can't believe this movie is receiving such high ratings, and The Hulk isn't. The Hulk is a masterpiece of powerful imagery, Iron Man is juvenile eye candy, an all American popcorn movie with lots of things blowing up just to keep you amused for 2 hours.
