Iron Man

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Well I finally saw this today with Matt. I really liked it and really would like to see it again. One of the best "comic book" adaptations out there - and I do hate the whole "comic book movie" ghetto thing. It's an action film based on another medium that happens to be a comic book. Arrgh!

I thought everyone was great - Gwenyth was good but got kinda mellodramatic in the end. Bridges did a good job as Obadiath, though in the comics he was a bigger jerk. Terence Howard was kinda understated and I know we'll see more of him in the next film.

Lots of tip of the hat to those who know the comics. It was pretty faithful to the comics and like alot of the others films (Spidey/ X-Men) they took from several storylines and combined some things. But unlike the 3 X-Men films they did a nice job of combining the storylines. They basicly took the first year of Iron Man (1968'ish I think) and another big storyline from the mid 1980s. I was kinda dissapointed they didn't go with the comic ending with Obadiath killing himself with the repulsers.

This get's 9 bornieo's out of 10!
