Last night I went to see
Iron Man in London's very lovely Leicester Square Odeon.
Unlike Snoo (damn you, I wanted to be first CFer to review
) I wasn't really anticipating the best film ever. This, for me, was a good thing. Although getting to see a decent full length trailer of Indy IV before the film began I think I was too excited to be able to enjoy this film fully. Saying that I thought Iron Man was probably one of the best comic book adaptions ever (still not as awesome as Batman Begins). Robert Downy Jr was spectacular in this and I would maybe go as far as saying maybe his best performance in a film? He made the character funny and realistic and really helped the film move along. I was also very shocked at how quickly we are taken into the heart of the story, unlike Batman Begins this film dives straight into it moving along at a fast and very fun pace.
Also I went on the internet before going along and I found out that there was an extra scene at the end of the credits. So, with about 100 other peeps (everyone else went, silly peeps) I sat and watched this extra scene (I assume you didn't Snoo, if you did, good man) and my God I think it was the best extra scene ever. I can't say too much about it but it is so worth staying for, well for fans anyways.
If this gets a sequel, which sounds like they could be starting on soon, then I will be very pleased. If the hints in the movie happen (especially what happens in the extra scene) then it should be one heck of a sequel!
Oh, rating, umm, lets give it a 4.5/5
