There was no real build up to it and it was so sudden. Obadiah's sudden transformation into a villain. But for the most part he is a decent character.Ģ. I just didn't buy him as this military colonel. I have nothing against Terrence Howard, he's a really good actor but he just didn't fit the character in my opinion. Also the special effects and CGI is well done, not much to say here.ġ.
Visuals This film is shot well, it has this richness to it. Hell in the end of the film Tony just flat out says he's Iron Man, which was shocking at the time because normally superheros hide their identity and it was so refreshing that they went for a different direction with this film.ģ. The characters' dialogue feels natural and it never feels forced and cliche.
#IRONMAN MONEYCLIP MOVIE#
The story is very smart surprisingly, I liked how this film actually felt like a movie and deviated away from the typical superhero cliches which is another thing I want to get into, this film stays away from cliches. The story, pacing and tone the pacing is well done, there is no moments where the film drags for me. All the other casting is fine for the most part.Ģ. Jeff Bridges was awesome as Obadiah Stane, you bought him when he was a good guy and when he eventually turns into a baddie he does a great job as well. She is natural while also having this charisma about her. Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts was great, she does an exceptional job as her character. as Tony Stark/Iron Man is some of the best casting I've seen! He captures the character from the comics perfectly while also injecting his own mannerisms as well! He is a dick but so likable and he has a great sense of humor throughout the film and he does have moments where you honestly do feel for his character! The casting (except for one character which I'll get into) Robert Downey Jr. With all these Tonys piling up, Iron Man gets so overloaded that it threatens to become The Man Who Fell to Earth - heavily.Iron Man was great! Almost every aspect worked and this film floored everyone including me and it was a perfect start to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!ġ. Besides the glib playboy, there's the dour captive of jihadists, the obsessed inventor, the angry Human Rights Watch monitor on steroids, the unbeatable superhero. Two different writing teams worked on separate but equal versions of the script, and that "One from Column A, one from Column B" approach just doesn't work. (She's played by Gwyneth Paltrow.)īut though its hero is named after an element, this movie is an alloy, a combination of disconnected components. Iron Man also offers some slick verbal sparring between Stark and his loyal assistant Pepper Potts - yes, that really is her name. He's the kind of guy who divides his time between womanizing and accepting accolades for being a visionary genius and American patriot. gives an engaging performance as billionaire playboy Tony Stark, a second-generation inventor and armaments manufacturer.
So here comes Iron Man, following gamely in the footsteps of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk and Daredevil. Wait, "Iron Man"? This is the name for a superhero? Shouldn't the handle for a fighter for truth and justice be something sleek and modern, like "Titanium Man"? Or even "Uranium Al"? Isn't "Iron Man" a little old-school for today's computer-generated movie franchise world?ĭon't tell that to the folks at super-profitable Marvel Studios. It's May, and the season of summer movies is upon us, and this year the march of the would-be blockbusters begins with the debut of Marvel Studios' much-ballyhooed Iron Man. Industrial Light and Magic/Paramount Pictures No one throws away a line with more style than Downey - not even Daniel Craig, the latest James Bond model - and the dozen or so screenwriters it took to turn this comic book story into a storyline have given him plenty to throw away as Tony Stark, irrepressibly irresponsible gazillionaire munitions-maker.ĭirector Jon Favreau blows up a lot of stuff right at the top, then takes his time establishing characters - Terrence Howard as Stark's comparatively down-to-earth best bud, Gwyneth Paltrow as his lovesick secretary, Jeff Bridges as his nemesis - and more time getting the hero into that metal suit.ĭowney proves hilariously limber in the Blake Edwards–ish slapstick with which he finally learns to fly, but the plot proves less limber, especially in a routine wrap-up where a pair of bulging metalmen have at each other digitally.Īfter learning of an evil plot that threatens the world's safety, Tony Stark uses his super-armored suit to foil the plan and protect the world as Iron Man. wearing Iron Man's armor, there was never any doubt that this new Marvel franchise would make its snarkiness central. The snark in most superhero movies resides mostly with the villains - Spidey slings more webs than sarcasm Superman would rather land punches than punchlines.īut with Robert Downey Jr.
