Iron Man (2008)

From NetFlix:

After ultrarich inventor and weapons maker Tony Stark (Robert
Downey Jr.) escapes from kidnappers using makeshift power armor,
he turns his invention to good by using it to fight crime. But
when he must face the evil Iron Monger, his skills are stretched
to the limit. Based on the Marvel comic, this captivating superhero
tale from director Jon Favreau co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff
Bridges and Terrence Howard.

Yes, Movie Fans, Melissa intrigued me when she said she liked “Iron Man” so I watched it. Now I feel compelled to create another category “Super Hero”. Considered on its own merits without comparison with any other film, except perhaps another Super Hero film, the film doesn’t make a mistake. It strikes a current bell by relating to Afganistan. Super Hero movies almost have to
be black and white by definition, and indeed in this case the villain is really great. And of course the Super Hero never really gets the gal despite all the banter.

Raise your hands: how many of you believe that US weapons manufacturers would directly supply arms to the enemy ? We know that indirectly (for example, by theft) our weapons are used by the other side.

And besides, I really had fun watching the damn thing !

I LOVE TRASH.
