Gamertell Review: Iron Man the Movie
Title: Iron Man
Release Date: May, 2, 2008
Publisher (Developer): Marvel and Paramount Pictures
Rating: PG-13
Pros: Great acting, very funny, great effects, more contemporary setting and origin, pleasing to Iron Man and comic fans
Cons: Feels like a short movie, limited story, not enough action or Iron Man, to many quick edits, no Nick Fury cameo
Overall Score: One thumb up, one sideways; 80/100; B-; * * * out of five.
Gamertell has posted its review for the Iron Man movie, in theater now (released May 2, 2008). According to the review, “The film provides the perfect merging of fact and fiction, featuring a fictional character whose own life has as many ups and downs as Downey’s real-life career. With so much insight, Downey brings incredible character and personality to Stark, helping to extra depth to a previously 2D character. It’s that depth that allows you to simultaneously laugh at Downey’s every word thinking about how much of a jerk he is…
Ultimately, Iron Man is a fun ride that doesn’t live up to the story and emotional quality of Batman Begins, nor is it likely to win over a whole new generation of fans like the Spider-Man films have.”

No Nick Flury cameo? Are you sure? I saw one; check again.

on May 5, 2008 at 08:44 AM - LINKAh damn, no I didn’t. Will have to remember next time.
on May 11, 2008 at 03:08 PM - LINKI always sit through the credits for movies. After all, that’s all the credit most of those people will get. There’s always interesting stuff in credits, like where stuff was filmed, who really sings songs, body double dogs and such. And, oh yeah, then there’s the bonus material some directors put at the end.

Saw Fury on You Tube so at least they did squeeze him in there. Pretty cool....Geek meter went up 10 points watching ^^
on May 12, 2008 at 01:30 PM - LINKThe cameo is short and at the end of the credits. Reviewers should see the whole movie including the credits. There are often cameos and bonus scenes.
