Iron Man

Bring on the sequel please 
I find Iron Man just brilliant, terrific and uniquely entertaining. It’s the best comic movie ever. A perfect adaptation from the comics and there’s more character development in this single movie than any other comic based movies. No flat cartoon characters like Fantastic Four here and if compared to Transformers, although Iron Man is also glossy and shiny, he’s more human inside.
Robert Downey Jr plays Tony Stark. He’s a multi billionaire womanizer who’s a bit boyish sometimes, a little too sarcastic, arrogant, but as a whole, he’s likeable … and believable. He actually holds the film together.
The movie starts with a scene in Afghanistan, where Tony Stark is doing a demo on the ‘Jericho’ missile, his latest destructive creation. On the way back, he was attacked by a group of terrorist called the Ten Rings and was severely wounded by his own weapon, and captured. He was forced to build them a version of Jericho’ but instead he built his escape plan. He returned as a changed man, and now wants an end to all weapons development. His new found conscience led him to the creation of Iron Man.
Enough spoilers, go and watch the movie. You will love it. It’s ok if you have missed Ghost Rider or Fantastic Four, but if you are a comic/marvel fan, this is not to be missed. Anyway, I saw Iron Man alone at Sunway Carnival Mall after my shift ended. The whole team has been working 24 hours for the past 6 days and we are now LiVE!
I am going for my second round with the kids next Saturday. So, look for me if you are going to One Utama.
By the way, if you are a fan, Marvel also introduced SHIELD in this movie and if you don’t know, Iron Man is the Director of SHIELD.

Inta,

[Reply]
I’ve heard a lot about the character of iron man being very different to other comic book or movie heros. I’m definately looking forward to the release of this in the UK!

azwan reply on May 14, 2008 12:08 am:
Natasha,
Yes, Tony Stark is different & marvelous.
I noticed that UK always get everything last, especially movies. Why?

Sorry, i tak sempat to upgrade your blog, very the busy. Ok, to make things simple, why not resize you picture first before you upload.
You can use this software to manipulate you pics (as reviewed by Bent)
http://bentdaniel.com/influent-stuff/2007/09/03/among-the-best-free-photo-editing-software.html
Change the width of the pic to 450. then only upload.
kalau tak boleh jugak, just upload it to picasa and link from there. it is much simpler. after you upload, choose the 400px size from picasa and insert it to your blog.
kalau tak pandai jugak, this weekend during dinner at that place you said tu, bawak notebook (provided you have wireless broadband)
kalau tak, i’ll teach you on Friday night masa ambil mom and dad

[…] me, Iron Man is currently the best comics adaptation movie ever and this will be the benchmark for all future releases of comics adaptation. Regardless […]
[…] This time Edward Norton will be playing Bruce Banner and guess what, Robert Downey Jr will make a cameo appearance as Tony Stark. […]
