It's been awhile since I last went out of the theater REALLY stoked. *grins*
First off, thanks Paul for helping me decide on which movie to watch. You don't need to read this post because I'll be like repeating everything I just said to you.
So I watched Iron Man. The movie started 3:40 in the afternoon. I brought no food so I could concentrate on the movie. It was a free seating. I got there early so I had the chance to choose the best seat -- third row, middle seats of the balcony. Luckily, the woman in front of me was short so I got a full view of the screen. It was so funny, I actually found myself seated in between two couples. And guess what, the ones in front and behind me were also love birds! But I was there with me and myself and it was all good!
Here's the whole synopsis courtesy of Yahoo! Movies:
Tony Stark is a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.

Prior to watching the film, I absolutely had no idea about Iron Man. I knew zero about the character and the story itself so I had zero expectations too. I have to say Jon Favreau did a great job! I'm all praises, actually! I think Transformers can now step down the throne. (I still love Transformers but it's now second to Iron Man.) I was really wowed! Loved it! I could watch it over and over again! No tacky parts, musical score was great, best of all, they chose the perfect cast --Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges. I have to admit though that at first, I actually thought why in the world would they get Robert to play the role?! A superhero? Based on his past films that I happen to see, he has the tendency of being gay-ish! But I was totally wrong! He did pull it off! (I love you Robert Downey Jr.! I'm sorry Shia, I met Bob first.) Terrence Howard who played the role of Rhodey also did great plus he's just so sexy!hahaha
Just one thing though, the whole 2 hours, 6 min. film felt like a pilot episode of a series. I wanted more! I couldn't wait for the sequel. And thanks again Paul for telling me to stay a bit longer after they finish rolling the credits. They were never wrong for choosing Samuel L. Jackson for whatever his role would be for the sequel.

I am now officially an Iron Man fan!

i know i was impressed by this film but i still think nothing beats transformers. it did become transformers-ish at some scenes (yes, the robot fight scenes). but ok lang. what i love best were the ironman suit, gwyneth was 2die4, and the humor was FUNNY! haha! 5 stars! 5 stars!
at least ikaw una ka nakawatch nko!hehehe 3rd week na but i still paid Php110. How much more if 1st week and on Cinema 1 ko tan-aw...
Anyway, I think Iron Man is a mature version of Transformers.=) No question, mas nice jud ang fight scenes sa Transformers. Super jaw dropping! How much more if you watch it on Imax (I wish!hehe)...=) But I noticed something 'bout their proportions(?). Mrag di xa consistent.hehe Kato gani scene na Optimus Prime picked up the spectacles with its 'robotic' thumb and index fingers... I think dapat mas gamay unta xa kay mura na nuon same kadak-on nila ni Sam if you come to think of it...hehe Nevertheless, I still love it and it's still highly recommended!=)
Yeah, 5stars for Iron Man...=)Btw kat, gitest drive ni Tony ia suit on the 11th day..11th!hehehe
