Iron Man
05/03/2008 Posted by morphous
I heard Jon Favreau on the radio the other day talking about Iron Man. I like his stuff, so I was excited. And, I enjoy RD Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow. I met Jeff Bridges and spent a half hour talking with him in Seattle. I loved the trailer, too, so I am sad to report that this movie is giant monkey butt. Save your money and don't see this total piece of c movie. I know, the previews looks sort of interesting. I was tricked. It was the longest two hours I have had to sit in a movie theater without caring the least bit about any of the characters. And, it was all pure government propaganda. However, if you believe that a small handful of Arabs are threatening the entire world and that Homeland Security are the ultimate good guys (and our pals), then by all means, go see this CIA-sponsored movie. Take an aspirin first; there is lots of violence and loud noises constantly. A real piece of S. Apparently, you are supposed to cheer when Arabs get shot. I looked at my watch about 30 times. I thought Robert Downey would be all interesting and complex, but he turned out to be sort of shallow and arrogant. I could have cared less whether he lived or died. He just looked like the usual 'high' RDjr. There was zero character development despite Favreau's promises. The only thing I enjoyed was looking at GP. They had RD dancing with her at one point - He must have been standing on a box. Save your money.
Pros: Gwyneth Paltrow
Cons: violent, loud, silly government propaganda
