Review : Iron Man

I watched Iron Man this afternoon at Cineleisure. Not many people in the cinema, in fact we had the whole row B to ourselves. The synopsis from Yahoo!Movies : “Tony Stark is a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.”

Usually with comic-turn-big-screen movies, there is some element of disappointment because its lacking certain elements but this movie has been touted as one of the best comic turned movie. Its set in sometime in the future where our technology is more advanced such as smart homes, hologram type of screens, model rendering which takes 2 seconds (as compared to the current 12 hours). It helps that Robert Downey Jr was good in his lead role of Tony Stark/Iron Man.

I enjoyed this movie because it wasn’t too out of this world with totally unrealistic CGI and weird plots. Good movie! So don’t forget to catch it in cinemas
