After chickening out of a late night showing on opening night, I finally viewed Iron Man yesterday, while on the last day of my business trip. I had earned it!
What I didn’t expect to earn, was a few minutes in the hall because of the heart replacement scene. It wasn’t really his heart, it was a CGI generated hole in his chest into which a new power core was begin inserted. But I had been in the desert all day and only drank a half bottle of Gatorade. How helpful that was for my weak constitution.
Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the film!
I do recommended it, for it’s not the Spider-Man of summers past, over which people complain of the films’ discussion of his inner-struggle. It’s a superhero movie, check your brain at the door! The issues I have with Iron Man are the usual list of innuendo, and the fact that Tony Stark is an outright prick. Ms. Pepper on the other hand, makes sacrifices for him, even though he is said prick. And with the heart-change scene and all of the assumed violence, it’s not for kids.
And neither are desk toys.
