Good.
Tony Stark is just an ordinary weapon-making billionaire, until some group of people abducts him after a weapon demonstration in Afghanistan. While in captivity, he creates a prototype of a fighting armor out of scrap metals and uses it to escape from his kidnappers. Also during his capture, he realizes that he sucks because he manufactures things that kill people. So upon returning home, in his attempt to redeem himself, he makes the high tech armor using top-notch materials in order to stop others from using the weapons that he created.
There is that statement that that they are trying to point out, "Hardware by Marvel. Software by Oracle." I presume that it is thanks to that, the movie admission was free for us. Other than that, I think that with the above statement comes something more. Maybe it has something to do with Larry Ellison and the character Tony Stark being alike with most of their popular traits (filthy rich, smart, etc.) that is other than the fact that, in the movie, Robert Downey Jr. also looks a lot like Larry. I am definitely missing something as to why it has to be like that. Is it some sort of message? If it is, what is the point? Is it for the possibility of an increase in software sales brought about by the added attractiveness of products due to the production of one ultra cool superhero aided by software from Oracle? Ha-ha
The armor that Iron Man wears has boosters that allow the person wearing it to fly. However, in order to fly, the boosters must generate a good amount of force, which consequently generates a tremendous amount of heat. The armor must get freakishly hot when used for flying being made of metals and all. Yet, Mr. Stark did not show, or at the very least mention, any sort of cooling tremendously hot armor. That is among other things like being able to withstand being hit by a high-speed fighter airplane and stuff like that. The only thing I can conclude is that his armor runs with magic, nothing else.
The people from MTRCB did another fine job rating the movie G or general patronage. A rating that is appropriate for a movie that contains themes regarding sex (nagbabanatan si Stark at yung reporter), war (middle east war), weapons of mass destruction (demonstration of the Jericho missile), etc. I suppose that the themes are straightforward to explain to five-year olds inquiring what is going on during the movie.
Anyhow, I liked the movie, fast paced, superb video and audio, simple plot, ideal to watch right after a stressful day.
