Homeboy On Flims: Iron Man

It is May, which means the beginning of the summer movie season. First up, is the adaption of the Marvel Comic "Iron Man" starting Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges. Being a Marvel Comics fan (growing up, instead of getting fairy tail stories for bedtime, I was introduced to the likes of Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, and The Incredible Hulk), I had high expectations for this.

In short, I can saw with honestly that not only does this movie live up to the hype, but it is the BEST of the Marvel film adaptions. Yep, it's better than the Spider-Mans, better than The X-Mens, better than The Fantastic 4s; give director Jon Favreau and his team a standing ovation. Oh, one other thing, stay after the credits. As I learned on the net, there is a "surprise" at the end. Just because of this, I may go see it again. According to the web, this the first of a trilogy. The next movie will be released in 2010. In a summer where there are SO MANY dope movies droppin', this is the right way to get things started.


And on that note... I'm out.
