I kid you not,chinese subtitle translated the movie's name to "The Man Who is Tough Like Iron".But that's not the point.The point is,this movie is cool.Like uber-cool.What's cooler than being cool?Iron muthafriggin' Man,that's what!One of the most fun superhero movies that I had watched.I will not bore you with the synopsis,most of you know it anyway,heck most of you may have even seen it anyway but who gives a crap cos I just wanna drooooooollllwsrfdsakf akf kafdsa fas minirfireanfianznv jnnfsadfnasd$^%$%#*&$^&*$E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Allright.Now that I had finally got that feeling of orgasmic euphoria off my chest,lets see what makes this movie so great.First,the casting.Robert Downey Jr. is perfect for the role of Tony Stark,and he does kinda resemble his comic-book counterpart,and he plays his part of a flamboyant-playboy-genius-gazillionaire-guy-with-glowing-lamp-in-chest well.I can't imagine anyone else pulling this off so effortlessly and naturally (look out for him in blackface in the upcoming Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller and sohai Jack Black).Then Gwyneth Paltrow as his secretary Miss Pepper Potts is likable and oh so adoring.Terrence Howard as Jim Rhodes?ok la..but he didn't really get his shine in this movie,maybe the next one will focus on the relationship between him and Tony Stark.Jeff 'The Dude' Bridges is almost unrecognizable as Obadiah Stane,and as the main villain in the movie he's pretty convincing.

The plot was fast-paced,no dilly-dally,just straight away cut to the chase,intersected with some scenes that highlights the actors emotions and bla bla,but not too much to the point of being cheesy or dragging.The dialog is good,and Robert Downey Jr.'s improvisation and involvement in the script certainly liven up the movie("Please,no gang signs.I'm joking,throw it up").

The biggest attraction of the movie is,no doubt,the Iron Man suit of armor,which by far was the coolest shiznit I've seen on screen since Transformers.If this movie was made ten years ago,I would bet my ass that Iron Man would look like Robocop.In red and yellow.Scary.When Tony Stark suits up,the armor shown attaching together part by part was so painstakingly detailed that I nearly cried tears of joy.And the audience were all ohhhs and ahhhs.Words cannot describe how friggin cool the suit is,you just have to see it for yourself.

Fans of the comics will certainly spot some subtle references to the Marvel Universe and Iron Man comics,such as Stan Lee's cameo,a sly nod to Jim Rhodes' War Machine in the next Iron Man movie ("Next time,baby!!"),Obadiah Stane mentioning that by selling weapons he is a "War Monger",S.H.I.E.L.D.(dayummm didn't see that one coming)..did I missed out anything?

*SPOILERS..Kinda*
The movie was stopped halfway through the credits,so I missed a lil' something something.All around the world the internet forums were buzzing of a scene after the credits,where Tony Stark returns home to find someone sitting on his chair.A black bald man with an eye patch (played by a black bald man who used to fool around with light sabers,and was on a plane with "muthafuckin' snakes")introduces himself to him as the head of something-something,and ask him to join the "something-something".Marvel fanboys will know what I'm talking about.Go watch this shit.You won't be disappointed.Now waiting for what's Coming up:Man in mask and cowl versus man in white face and green hair,and a big green freak vs (what else?) another big green freak(No its not Shrek 4,you lovable gullible poopoo).
