Another Iron Man Review
Monday, May 12, 2008
You might have read Kevin’s review of Iron Man or seen the post spoiling the secret ending of the movie, but this weekend I got a chance to go see the movie and decided to share my experience. From the very first minute, I loved this movie. Robert Downey Jr. was the most perfect Tony Stark I could imagine. This movie was a great superhero movie and had many things in it that the casual watcher might not realize.
When Obadiah Stane built his monster armor, it’s name was Iron Monger. I just thought I’d share that. There was of course the Avengers bit at the end, but who noticed when Roades looks over at the silver armor and says “next time” after Tony Stark has just flown off to action. That means we could be seeing Rhodes in the War Machine suit in the next movie. Director Jon Favereau has said that is the supposed plan.
Oh and the terrorist group The Ten Rings was a shot out of sorts to the original Iron Man villian Mandarin who had ten magic rings that gave him a variety of powers. The group leader is seen playing with an elaborate gold ring with a red jewel.
In the end, this is an awesome comic movie that I feel easily rivals Batman Begins. It’s probably one of the best ones of all time.
