another bad start to this year's blockbusters

Rating: 5/10 (30 April 2008)

beware spoilers from the very start. where do i begin to say how bad this film is, i thought that the scripts for the spider man and xmen film were bad, this makes those films look like masterpieces. the plot does not make any sense and has more holes in it than the yorkshire moors. nothing adds up or has any logic to it. our hero gets attacked and captured by taliban baddies, and is asked to construct his latest weapon for them, instead he starts constructing his firs iron man suit, right under their 24 hour surveillance cameras, with bits and pieces he makes a super nuclear powered suit that can fly, on his escape he conveniently leaves the detailed plans for the suit, he by the way, is established as a genius. he then notices that the weapons his company makes are all in the baddies camp, and wonders how they got there, once back in the USA he promptly forgets about finding out how and who is supplying his weapons to the bad guys. if they could get their hands on what stark industries make before even the company can get them out, why did they need him to build the new one. of course we then find out that his old mentor and the company guiding light is the bad guy, as if we the audience did not know that from the first second the character appears. paltrow is totally wasted in a bimbo role, the dialogue is trite and b movie standard. and worse was at the end of the show all the easily pleased audience applauded. total waste of time clichéd and predictable from start to finish
