Yahoooo just back from the premier of Iron Man at TGV Bukit Tinggi Klang theater. Iron Man was one of every kids favorite super hero in childhood that does included me. When I was young, I dreamed that there is a real Iron Man that played by human and not cartoon. Seems my fantasy finally came true when this movie released.
This movie going to be release in United States (US) on 2 May 2008 but tonight I watched the premier (Laughing Out Loud Sarcastically in my shorts).
My short review
In the beginning of the movie the subtitle. of Malay translated Iron Man as "Orang Besi". The translation seems to awkward but who cares
The story is about a rich, charming and playboy scientist who inherited his father, Howard Stark company. So who is this scientist? He is the played by Oscar Nominee Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
At the beginning, we was at a deserted area in Afghanistan to demonstrate his latest invention, Jericho. The show completes, terrorist attacks, Tony Stark been held as hostage by a group of terrorist named as Ten Rings. They demand Tony to create Jericho for them. In fact, his co-partner, Obadiah had betrayed him because he wanted to take over Stark Company.
So Tony eventually created a special suit for him to escape from the terrorist instead create Jericho for them. The plot goes on when Obadiah found out that Tony have created a special prototype suit that helped him to escape from terrorist. He steals the prototype suit and plan to mass produce it and maybe sell to the highest buyer?
In the end, Obadiah created a suit similar to the prototype named as Iron Monger. Iron Man fights with Iron Monger, both rumbles from land to the space. Who wins? You guess it.
This movie is a must-to-watched. The action is cool, storyline was fine. Hope to see the sequel soon with new character like War Machine.
Overall rating: 7.5/10
