Ironman

Synopsis: Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) makes weapons for the U.S. government. While testing of one of his inventions, he is wounded, captured and forced to make weapons for the enemy. Instead, he fashions himself a crude power armour to save his life and facilitate his escape. When he returns home, he revises his armour and finds purpose as the Armoured Avenger, Iron Man! [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

Hoho, in summary, this is by far the best movie I have ever seen this year. Promising lots of fast and furious actions, with a little humour mixed in between, the director really scores well for this. Plot wise, I would consider it decent (hey, this is the first movie this year I have considered it having a decent plot), though not one of the better ones I have seen so far. Details wise, I shall spare it as I don't want to be a spoiler, but I shall comment that things are not what they seem to be on the surface, and the movie shall reveal and straighten them out towards the middle part.

Getting off to a slow start for the first ten minutes, the audience will be plundge thick into action thereafter, and the pace and intensity will continue on until the very end. There was never a dull moment and audiences will be treated to an eye feast to all the gadgets and technology that can be packed into the metal body. The final battle match between Ironman and its copycat prototype was just as breathtaking. A must watch movie if you like actions and of course, superheros.
