Solid, but overrated

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2010)

7,9 points, I wasn't expecting that. For a movie to deserve such a high rating, it should have something special, or something new. This is a good movie, no doubt. But it isn't intellectual, it isn't moving and it isn't creative. God, it isn't even extraordinary atmospheric. Yes, it's entertaining, very entertaining - I must admit. Of course it has amazing special effects. - But that just isn't enough for me to give it 8 points. I expect more from movies.
The story is bad, and totally didn't convince me. But, and this is the true strength of the movie, it's told detailed and well. If you take a closer look at the story, you will realize how simple and uninteresting it is – but the movie does a great job of hiding it. The same goes for Jeff Bridges. He does a great job of hiding how boring his Character is.
Filmmakers have such crazy freedom in Superhero movies, sadly they rarely use it. They could have been so much more creative.
7.9 points for Iron man. I still can't believe it. X-men, the Tim Burton Batman movies and Watchmen are all rated worse, but are far superior in my opinion. They are more creative, atmospheric and more fun to watch than Iron Man.
7 points from me. Because it's a good movie after all. I'd give it 6.5 if I could. 6 seem to little, and 7 too much.
