Another secretary saves the Big Boss (Screen)

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2008)

It's funny to recall « Iron Man » for this ! But it's true and it's my homage to my mother and my friend, who have the same occupation as Mrs Potts but are sadly taken for little hands while their big hearts are forgotten ! It is all the more important to say this here, that this movie was a kind invitation to my friend's sons.
I was a bit anxious about their feelings because the movie is very violent (especially the first 30 minutes) but the armors and sound effects capture all their imagination instead ! They love it !
As a comics fan for 22 years, it is not the first adaptation that I saw but i rank it among the best. Beside the fights, « Iron Man » offers a little philosophy about guns trading, exceptional visual and good suspense. The final armor is long awaited but doesn't deceived !
Between « Robocop II » and « 2001 : a space odyssey » for the inside helmet shots, you got also a top cast with a special mention to an unrecognizable Jeff Bridges !
Ah ! A crossover movie with Spidey, X-Men, FF, IR, Hulk.. ! ! ! ! !
