IMDB Plot Synopsis: When wealthy industrialist Tony Stark is forced to build an armored suit after a life-threatening incident, he ultimately decides to use its technology to fight against evil.
- Robert Downey Jr. was indeed totally hot in this, but I kind of wished he’d gotten to be more snarky than he was. Stark rhymes with snark after all. All the quippy lines were in the trailer.
- I don’t like Gwenyth Paltrow with red hair.
- To be honest, I thought this movie really dragged for 75% of the screen time. I don’t want to call it boring, but it was borderline in a lot of places.
- If I was taken prisoner and held in a cave in the Afghan desert for innumerable months and then some American weapons manufacturer was thrown into my cave and showed me that his secret plan for escape was a GIANT IRON SUIT, I would have laughed at him until the prison guards came to see what the eff was going on.
- Why does everyone’s voice change when they put on costumes? Is this a comic book rule?
- I am perplexed as to why sometimes Tony cut holes in the centre of his shirts so that his Life Saving Protruding Heart Device™ could stick out and sometimes he just let it shine through the fabric.
- My problem with Terrence Howard is that I really dislike his voice and I can’t think of him as a man with authority with a voice like that.
- I felt pretty proud of myself for picking Stan Lee out of the crowd, especially since I do not read comic books or have any actual reason for being able to pick him out of a crowd.
- Second best thing in the movie: the closing credits. Loved the animation and loved the Black Sabbath.
- Best thing in the movie: SAMUEL L. JACKSON IN AN EYE PATCH AFTER THE CREDITS. HOLY CRAP, THAT WAS AWESOME. Totally made the rest of the movie worthwhile.
