Iron Man

Rating: 8.2/10

Genre: Action

Overall value for money and time: 8.7/10

This movie belongs to one of the top Marvel movies of all time, matching up the ranks with movies such as "Spiderman". The villian in this movie isn't the all cool and powerful type, however, the main emphasis is on the plot and character development of Iron Man. Though I'm not too fond of Robert Downey Jr, I thought he did a great job in this movie. Tony Stark is a talented and wealthy industrialist who makes weapons of mass destruction for his country. When he was captured by terrorists and realises the damage his weapons could do if they were in the wrong hands, he took it in himself to use his talent for doing good for mankind instead. Hence, he created an armoured suit to fight justice. The entire movie is very light hearted and has a good mix of everything in it - humour, action, justice, cool CG, evil villians, morality and stuff. Still, I didn't give this movie a top notch rating as there were quite a number of loop holes in it. There were some parts of the movie which just didnt make sense. However, those can be forgiven taking into account the overall plot and the portrayal of the movie. There are times which this movie may get you to the edge of your seats, so be warned, fasten your seat belts and get ready for a roller coaster ride!!
