A Good Start to the Weekend.
I watched 'Iron Man', last night and I thought it was very well made. All of the major roles were cast nicely and it was well directed. Scanning the Rotten Tomatoes reviews, one critic put it best, when he said "...Robert Downey Jr is the film's best special effect.". I was skeptical of him playing a superhero, but I'm not aware of any other known actor who could have, as it required the colonel's special blend of 11 secrets herbs and spices, including 'asshole', 'arrogant' and 'aggresive sarcasm' and with that kind of assiduously applied alliteration, how could I possibly be wrong in my assessment?
Anyway.
I have a personal message for one M. Bay. Have you seen this movie yet, guy? Bring a notepad and have your assistant take some notes (as I fear you can neither read nor write), before slowly reading them back to you. When compared to your 'work', it manages to do a 180 and then go another 360 degrees, for good measure. Proof that movies can make a lot of money, without appealing to the lowest common denominator of 'Ohhh... Shiny! Bright! Explosion!'
Off to bed for me, as I have an early start to the morning, but I leave you with this gem:
