Reason #1: I'm going to see Oblivion on friday and wanted to figure out a review posting schedule, (like I review only on mondays, fridays and saturdays).
Reason #2: I have been trying to figure out what I wanted my first movie review to be! It seems ridiculous but for me this is as important a decision as any high-school can possibly make.
But enough talk! Let's review Iron Man:
So Iron Man is the first movie in Marvels five year master plan to The Avengers. Many people claim this to be the best solo Avengers movie. To all the people out there who think that, I agree. This movie not only demonstrates how to make an awesome comic book movie, but a great movie in general. Now the man behind Iron Man is Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Jr. This was such a smart casting decision. I honestly can't think of a better actor to play Tony Stark. I can't describe it any better but by saying that this is the role that Robert Downey Jr. was born to play. He is the living embodiment of Tony Stark. He's a billionaire weapons dealer living the rock star life. You know, those little things that every guy aspires to be. This movie also captures Tony Starks transition from being carefree to completely giving a care masterfully. They demonstrate this when Stark is captured by terrorists and held in a cave for roughly three months. During this time he discovers more or less that the world is a very scary place. This shows him the error of his ways.
Iron Man shouldn't be considered an Avengers prequel, because by itself it stands as a solidly made action movie with witty dialogue, lovable characters cool visuals and a great story of redemption.
Final Report: Iron Man is easily one of the greatest comic book movies ever made and is worth buying because you are going to end up watching it again and again.
