Labour day, or Iron Man day .. May 1st. Well after all the hype building up to the movie's release, I decided to go watch it on the first day of its release.
For the clueless, Iron Man is basically a story about a billionaire weapons company CEO, who gets kidnapped and builds a suit of armor to escape. Donning that suit, he realises his weapons are causing more harm than good, and decides to right the wrongs of his past. Typical superhero movie storyline .. but the main attraction here is the CGI.
It was almost flawless, everything looked real, the action sequences are beautifully choreographed. I would put it on par with Transformers. Alas, the company who did the CGI for this film was the same company that did Transformers .. ILM , thats Industrial Light and Magic. They surely know how to weave magic on screen though.
Overall, I'd give it 8/10 .. or an A-. It was good, but not perfect. Pretty entertaining though. In keeping with the Iron Man theme, this post is even done in its red and gold colors .. LOL.
