User blog:MystiTrainer/Must Reviews! Iron Man

Hey guys. I'm starting a new series. Since IW is out, I needed to make something to cure everybody's depression because of "SPOILER" doing "SPOILERY STUFF" and "SPOILER" our favorite "SPOILER."

If you haven't watched Iron Man... then WTH are you even doing here? Go watch that, dummy!

Jokes aside, I will be judging a movie by it's:

Plot

Special Effects

Characters

Writing

So let's get cracking.

Review
While it was not stellar, Iron Man was awesome! I loved who they morphed Tony Stark's character from a cold-hearted, I don't give a crap spoiled playboy to a caring, torn superhero. His characterization doesn't feel rushed at all, and it was one of the main selling points for me. Unfortunately, most of the other characters don't really get a lot of characterization, and are a bit bland on the outside.

Now, my favorite, and most moving scene, in the movie (my own opinion, of course) is when Rhodey comes in to save Tony after he crash landed in the desert because of his clunky suit. The desperate, happy smile he gives him is not the one of the spoiled rich-ass playboy like he once was: He was a broken man, no-one but himself in that moment of time. No-one there. No-one cared. But, after he was saved, after he got restored into his life, he realized many other people were suffering like this: because of him. And it clicked. It. Clicked.

And that's why I love the plot and characters so much. They do a great job of humanizing Iron Man, like in the comics, so I applaud Marvel studios for that. Now, let's go on to special effects.

The effects were PHENOMENAL. For a 2008 film, the use of CGI and practical effects was groundbreaking. I actually prefer this film's effects to Avatar's (fite me). Each and every action scene was well-written and authentic, and had me at the edge of my seat. Yeah, what I'm trying to say is, they're amazing.

Myst-o-Meter
Here comes the Myst-o-Meter. Now I rate evrything on this movie.

Plot: 10/10

Characters: 7/10

Special Effects: 10/10

Writing: 8/10

And this movie gets a total of:

8.5/10!

Now onto the next film...
