Yeah, it’s true. Iron Man is pretty good.
It just came out today in Vietnam, just got back from Vincom in Hanoi.
It’s hard to classify why I enjoyed Iron Man. And when I think about it, I reminded of how movie endings can really impact how you feel about the movie when you leave the theater.
I love how this movie ends, and I don’t mean there’s a super boss fight, I literally mean the last moment of the movie, the credits rolling with music playing (really good soundtrack), and then the bonus scene after the credits- it’s more geared towards people who know Marvel comics, but it just all added up to me thinking right now, “well, that was a ton of fun”.
I think something that stands out about the movie is that it doesn’t so obviously follow the flow or maybe I’d say the cheesiness or whatever negative things you might say about the “other” movies. While I felt that the beginning of Iron Man wasn’t that exciting, and the action isn’t over-the-top insanity (like Transformers), everything seems to be will placed, a hint of something here, a hint of something there.
What does happen is always quality, measured out so you enjoy it and then move on, whether it’s subtle hints of character interaction, comedy, or action.
Iron Man feels like something you haven’t seen before, and I think that’s rarely the case for a “popcorn” movie.
Go see it, even if you’re not a superhero fan. A female coworker of mine came in not knowing much about the movie, but came away saying, I want to see that again. I don’t think Vietnamese have the same mentality of Americans of seeing things over and over again either.
