Beneath the armor lies a man of iron.
This is the best movie-retelling of any comic book so far. Some reasons why...
- STORY - Although I wasn't in to Iron Man comics as much as others, the movie does seem to have a fairly good mix of the original story, directorial creativity, and updated additions.
- CHARACTERS - Each character gets an appropriate amount of screen time. Other movies often ruin this.
- GRAPHICS - The graphics looked real and matched live shots. Favreau made sure of this.
- ACTION - Plenty of action throughout movie. Very few lulls and areas that did not progress the story (and those were short). In part due to the matching graphics, there are close-ups of the suit and its intricate mechanics both in action and not. Favreau also left enough for sequels. Too many movies try to give everything away all at once. Let's face it, people will continue seeing comic book movies, so plan for many sequels!
I could keep going but this is a simple review. Watch this movie!
My friend (Lee Shapiro - imdb.com & batman-on-film.com) and I thought of some interesting taglines for Iron Man. We submitted these to Favreau but never saw them used, although my blog response was specifically deleted (hmmmmm...).
1. Beneath the armor lies a man of iron.
2. The mind of a man.
The strength of a machine.
The heart of a hero.
