Movie Review

Grade: A- It's nearly one a.m. and I have to get up for work in five hours. All I can say is, thank God for pre-midnight showings and thank God for Jon Favreau, who, with the biggest budget of his career, has made a great first entry in the Iron Man franchise.

Iron Man

By evey49, May 12, 2008

The movie was good till Mr. Bridges becomes an enemy and then the fight scene that goes on far too long. I expected Iron Man to fight crime in his own city, I feel the latter half of the movie let me down. It is amazing though how technology you see in film , eventually becomes reality.
