ILM did a magnificent job with the special effects in this movie. All the Iron Man suits are very convincing on screen, especially their movements. I still don’t understand why they can’t make a convincing Hulk.
One of the best sequences is the second attack in Afghanistan. I just loved the chase between Iron Man and a pair of US jets. It reminded me of the Transformers FX from last year. There are some impressive FX scenes throughout the movie.
Ramin Djawadi does a fair job with the score. I would have preferred a score with a stronger central theme, but what he has here worked for me. The rock music actually did fit well with the whole Iron Man thing. I think a stronger score would have made the movie better. If there were one thing many Marvel movies lack, it would be stronger soundtracks (Spiderman III’s was weaker than this movie).
Anyway, go into Iron Man with an open mind and you’ll have a lot a fun. While it isn’t as sharply written as Batman Begins, the movie certainly knows how to have fun.
Grade: B+
Notes:
~Wait at the end of the credits…
~It looks like they’re setting up a few Ultimate Marvel Universe elements into the shared movie continuity.
~In some early scripts, Tony Stark’s company was going to be ones responsible for the construction of Doc Ock’s robotic arms from Spiderman II.
