Iron Man
Director: Jon Favreau

2008
So it took me a while to see this one and I probably should have waited longer (as in not see it at all). Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy action films as much as the next person but when it comes to superhero films some are better off in comic book form. I tried to like this film but it failed to hold my interest and is just another overhyped and overbudgeted film using action in place of development if any kind, be it character or story. Most of the time I was thinking ‘this is lame’ and ‘Robert Downey Jr. is a good actor, why’s he in this?’ So yes, I did not like the film and there isn’t much to the story to explain so I shall not do so here (it hardly deserves explanation anyway). But what I will tell you is the only super thing about Iron Man is, it is super weak.
