The Ironman of Mars.

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2016)

What can I say about this movie that hasn't been said? It is great and I just watched it again for the second time. In some ways it is better than the book because it cuts out a lot of fat. In other ways, the book is better. One of my main issue with the film version is the casting and unnecessary changing of character's races. Having a white chick play Mindy Park when it should have been a Korean chick? Really? There was literally no reason why they had to do that. Plus the book version's of the character is much more interesting. And why did they have to make that one dude half black and half Indian? Why couldn't they make him full Indian and just have that one guy from Jurassic World play the role? In fact, back when I was reading the book I imaged that same actor as that character and it would have been perfect. Whatever, those two casting choices and character chances are somewhat palatable. Kristen Wiig playing the character of Annie Montrose, the media spin lady was just an awful decision. Annie Montrose isn't a goofball, she is a tough as nails hardcore b!tch and you do not want to get in her way... which is what you would except from a person in that line of work. The people who just saw the movie were short changed there. Regardless, this is a great film. But you already knew that, didn't you?
