The long drought of non-interesting movies for 2008 came to an end this weekend with the release of Marvel Comics "Iron Man" in theaters across the US. Cyborgs and automatons everywhere will thrill to the spectacular visual wizardry displayed in this digital masterpiece. The story line contains all the classic components needed for a good, old-fashioned analog attention getter, but delivers it in a sleek, shiny high-tech package of technological wonders that will have even the simplest of artificial intelligentsia taking notice of the gold-metal alloy, exo-skeleton hero blasting across the screen. I have to admit, my transistors almost short circuited a few times and it left me feeling almost giddy. This is a pure, non stop ticket to ride of fun and adventure as we watch our hero evolve through three distinct phases of confrontation/death, awareness of self responsibility and duty, and transformation from self serving corporate megalomaniac to a rocket firing, mini-arc reactor-powered harbinger of justice and death. This one is highly recommended as a must-see flick and is a definite addition to the DVD library 6 months from now. The core point of the movie is the realization that at the core of every poly-carbonate shell of anthropomorphic-assemblages of gadgets and gears, beats the heart of a flesh and blood man determined to overcome his own personal battles of moral conflict and personal responsibility. Iron Man is a great flick that leaves you with a warm, glowing feeling in your chest.
