好介绍@ 电影 [ IRON MAN ]

Director: Jon Favreau Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Foster Official website: http://ironmanmovie.marvel.com/

I'll admit it. I was a geek. Every Sunday morning was the time where comic lovers everywhere congregate before their television sets to catch their favorite Marvel superheroes fight crime and evil. And well, the truth is, Iron Man was never a hot favorite. But this movie could easily land Iron Man a spot on every geek girls' fantasy list of "Superheroes That They Would Like To Be Rescued By". Truth is, it came as a surprise that director Jon Favreau casted Robert Downey Jr. for the role of Tony Stark, Mr. Iron Man, himself. But, it is without a doubt, that Downey was the perfect choice for this role. And besides, who could play an intelligent, suave bachelor, brimming with charm, wry humor and good looks, better than Downey? Sure, there were the usual clichés of a Hollywood superhero blockbuster movie, but then again, that's the whole point of watching a superhero flick. But what's refreshing, is the story of Iron Man himself. He does not really fit the mould of a true superhero per se, because it wasn't like he had the natural ability to fly or shoot spider webs. But what he does possess is great intelligence and a lot of money, hence, the luxury of doing nothing but playing with gadgets all day long. Born with a mind that works wonders when it comes to machinery and weapons, Tony, in the face of imminent death, builds an iron suit entirely out of scrap to escape the dire situation. The rest is history. He escapes, returns home and starts serious work on his suit, drawing inspiration from his latest encounter. Finally, the signature red and gold suit that rightfully belongs to Iron Man emerges. The only disappointing bit about the movie was the average standards of the rest of the cast. Jeff Bridges' impression of the villain in the movie was way over-the-top, appearing tacky and corny. Gwenyth Paltrow's portrayal of Pepper Potts, Tony's assistant, was pretty dismal. But with Robert Downey Jr.'s cool demeanor, witty one-liners and deadpan humor, it undeniably makes up for the rest of the casts' substandard acting. All things considered, the movie was well-paced and timed to immaculate perfection. This movie is definitely for the boys who like their gadgets and geek girls everywhere. (source: mtv asia)
