Fangirly Review -Iron Man (or Transformers meets Superhero Comics)
This month started with Iron Man. Now, I will not pretend to know anything about the existing Iron Man universe. I was an X-Men girl, and that was enough different comics for me to keep up with. I rarely ventured into the rest of the Marvel universe.
That being said, Iron Man was everything a comic book movie should be. There was dumb shit, there was humor, there was sexual tension, and there were robot battles.
I enjoyed Fantastic Four because it made fun of itself as a superhero movie, though the rest of the movie wasn’t all that stellar. Iron Man did a similar thing, but somehow it never quite seemed as stupid. Instead, it was pure entertainment. This isn’t the kind of movie that you go to for a deep meaningful experience; it’s the kind of movie you watch when you wanna see awesome effects and amusing dialogue.
I highly recommend this movie to all comic book fans and everyone else in-between. It’s pretty much Transformers, the superhero adventure.
And for your enjoyment...
