Movie Reviews of The Invincible Iron Man
Movie Review: Yet another excuse to hate marvel!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
As a once die hard Marvel comic book fan, who still owns hundreds of mint condition X-men, Spider man, Punishers and various other titles. Let me say that these past recent years, I've been utterly disgusted with the heads currently in charge at Marvel. Much like the crappy Spider Man 3, Iron Man is yet another assembly line mediocre attempt by marvel to cash in off die hard fans nastalgia.
I wont go into detail concerning the plot of Iron Man, simply because its predictable, unbelievable, and just crappy all across the board.
As a kid, I hated D.C. comics, for reasons only die hard marvel fans can understand. Those cardboard cutout plots, the cape's, and generic goodguy badguy lines in the sand. While marvel represented a rebelousness, gen X, characters who were neither good nore bad, but existed in shadowy shades of gray. Yet thats how I felt as a kid.
Today, I cant pull myself away from the brilliance that is the Justice League cartoon series, Batman cartoons, and other D.C. projects. Simply because they go above and beyond creativity, allowing the artist to stay true to the characters while boldy pushing boundries. Iron Man, much like Spidey 3, the Fantastic Four movies, Dare Devil, the Punisher movie, Avengers cartoons, and other weak attempts by marvel to cash in, should be avoided at all cost people.
Movie Review: Ending out of character. Good rental.
Summary: 4 Stars
I am old school too. Iron Man was born in Vietnam not China. In the interest of making the story more today that was okay. The story line was decent too. The ending was out of character. Are you an Iron Man fan? You know the movie is taking liberties with the character too. A bit overpriced at the moment. Definitely a good rental.Movie Review: NOT CLOSE TO ANYTHING GOOD!

I am clueless how anyone can claim to enjoy The Invincible China-Man (I mean Iron Man). This movie was just pure garbage.
Where to begin? How about the box that clearly shows a Red-Yellow Armored Iron Man battling the Mandrin. YEAH! That never happens any where in the movie. Instead we get Iron-Man trapsing around the globe gathering up the rings of the Mandarin before his Elementals (the weak excuse of a lazy writer to choose 4 villains with element powers) can reach them. I think I saw this exact same plot in one of the G.I. Joe cartoons from the 1980's.
So much of the movie is spent on the completely unimportant story of Li Mei that I was beginning to question whose movie this truly was. The movie is 80-minutes. About 77-minutes leads to the build up of the appearance of the Mandarin. And when he shows up does he battle Iron-Man? Not really. He throws him around until Li Mei has the power to defeat him. PLEASE! Did the makers of this movie want us to feel it had much of a connection to Iron-Man? THE Iron-Man! Marvel Comic's Iron-Man!
I could rant all day long but suffice to say that the movie is PG-13. Now understand it is NOT for kids. Unless you want your kid to see Tony Stark in a hot tub with a woman (naked), Tony showering (naked) in front of Pepper his secretary, Li Mei remembering the time she tried to commit suicide by looking at her wrist scars, and a man slapping a woman around because she's not a Man-Child. Of course, the movie isn't really for an adult with any semblance of intelligence because the plot is dull, the music LAME-O, Iron-Man battling a dragon shouldn't be the focus...fighting the Mandarin should be the focus, most of it feels childish, and it's just NOT a good movie nor one that should be connected to the Marvel Comics character. Marvel needed to make a simple decision is this for KIDS or ADULTS. They failed for both markets.
I hated this DVD! Shame on you Marvel for allowing junk like this to pollute the shelf of my video store and tarnish a good character!
Just awful!
Movie Review: What's up with Tony Stark's voice?
Summary: 2 Stars
This was a boring movie. They needlessly ruined the Mandarin and turned him into some kind of ghost,and for what?The worst part of the movie was the voice characterization of Tony Stark.His breathy "I'm a sexy ladies man" was the most ruinous thing I've ever heard. Every time Stark opened his mouth, I expected him to start acting like Quagmire from The Family Guy.Giggidy,giggidy,goo.Movie Review: Watched this to evade boredom. Failed

I watched this on my portable DVD player while waiting for my car to be repaired at the dealership. It was a pretty boring film, but I continued to watch it as I had nothing better to do. "Blues Clues" was on the waiting room television, and was mildly more interesting than this bad version of Iron Man.
By the way. Why does every film about a superhero have to recap the origin of the superhero? Why can't we just say; "He's a millionaire, he wears an iron suit, he blows stuff up." You could probably do that during the opening credits. We don't recap James Bond's origin every time...
