Iron Man

Okay, so I'm a little late on writing this review, but one might argue
it's a miracle I'm writing up all the movies and plays I've been
reading/writing/seeing.

Iron Man was a good film to open up the summer movie season. It had
good special effects, witty one liners, and a charismatic lead
character.

I thought there were some areas to be improved, the first being the
removal of Gwynneth Paltrow, who was, in my opinion, the weakest of
the bunch.

The story. I'm not exactly familiar with the source material, so I
can't really lay claims on either its originality or its veracity.
It's rather riddled with cliches, but nothing that breaks the
proverbial bank, so to speak.

The villains were largely stock. I didn't care about them, or
sympathize with their plight.

See, this brings up an interesting question, the question of the
villain. Who can they be, who are the best villains? What elements do
they contain? Do they have similar components? That, indeed, will most
certainly be a future topic of this blog. Perhaps it will be something
I work on outside of the blog and bring a real researched essay on to
near on this topic. For now, play well, write something, and click on
some ads to make me some money.
