Ironman is a great movie!
I have not read the comics before but the movie really enticed me to grab a copy to browse through.
Watched it the first time with my lao di and he fed me with so much information about the background, the Ironman character, other Marvel hero characters, technical questions I had of Ironman, etc.
Watched it a second time with Jon and it was a quieter movie. The cinema ambience was definitely much better, with much nicer seats and bigger screen. Was pleasantly surprised when Jon decided to satisfy his craving for KFC and bought dinner for me as well. It's been such a long time since anybody made decisions for me - it's really nice. Pity he needs to go back early to rest - would have loved to spend more time out with him and get to know him better.
Anyway, back to the movie...
I have always loved Robert Downey Jr. I got more addicted to Ally McBeal after he joined the show. I can't wait for the other 2 episodes of Ironman. Yes. Ironman is gonna be a trilogy!
And all the engineering and technical stuff of the show just made the movie so much more fascinating for me! The sleek design of the arc reactor, the creativity and ingenuity of a guy kidnapped and trapped in a cave and his ability to build a high-tech suit of armor with his injury and limited resources, the 3D visualisations of Ironman prototype 2, etc, I can just go on and on...
I love the movie more also because the hero is not one with supernatural powers. He's just a "normal" guy with flaws, a dry sense of humour, smarter brains than most, and he's trying to make the world a better place with the tools and machines that he has at his disposal.
But of course, nothing beats the whole experience of watching a great movie with even greater company, with 2 of my favourite guys.
I hope to catch a number of movies before I go for my trips to Japan and Kinabalu... Movies like "Made of Honour", "Prince Caspian" and "Sex and the City.
