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.”
