Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Dreadfully Boring
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
This actually did have potential to be good. The idea was a good one, and I'd watch any movie in regard to superheroes or Marvel. However, The Invincible Iron Man was a disappointment sadly. It does have redeeming qualities, the animation is great with fluid backgrounds and the suits particularly cool, the music is both rousing and haunting and with one exception the voice acting is very good. The fight sequences are also well-choreographed, though there should have been more. Conversely, there is one exception to the voice acting and that was Gwendoline Yeo as Li Mei, who has a very limited range and comes across as insufferably bland. She wasn't helped though by her character, who was very stereotypical and did little more than annoy me. Iron Man also seemed like a weak hero, not only should there have been more of him but when the Mandarin was defeated he does little in the scene other than getting beaten up, which takes away from the character's charisma. Tony Stark's character arc is very forced and takes far too long to be set up. Mandarin posed no threat whatsoever, which weakens any sense of conflict. The writing comes across as clichéd and it lacks fluidity. But the biggest let-down was the story. It was predictably told, especially in the Mandarin scene, and lacks any kind of momentum or excitement. Overall, a disappointment. 4/10 Bethany Cox
Gosh! I have to say that this is one of the worse animated movie I've spent more than 60 minutes watching. Who had this movie made? It was a major waste of time and money.1. Story: It was so basic I slept through most of the show. Yes it is that bad.2. Momentum: There is no sense of urgency or momentum in the movie. I thought the finale would finally bring some excitement..... Let's just say I was cursing and swearing.3. Animation: The animated characters' actions were so wooden, a puppet would look more lively. I had hope the SFX was going to be better.... no such luck at all.5. Production: This one felt as cheap as they come, and especially so since this is one of Marvel's most interesting superhero. Sad, just sad.
I know this is nothing like the comics.I was a fan of Iron-Man before the new Iron Man movie came out; but this is a little refreshing to Tony Stark's original origin.Tony Stark and Rhodey decide to raise an old empire from the ground, which was thought to be lost. But raising this empire creates problems as a tribe of warriors attack Stark's people and capture him and Rhodey.Stark is hurt and designs a machine to keep him alive and meets a warrior named Li Mei. A relationship is formed and then Iron-Man's enemy arrives Mandarin.Mandarin needs rings to take corporeal form, so he sends his soldiers of the elements to get the rings. And so Stark designs the suit in order to stop Mandarin.The film has little stories inter-wined, the character Li Mei seems to be perfect for Tony but you must follow the comics I guess.The action scenes are quite cool, especially the scene when Iron Man goes one on one with the creature made of stone.The voice actors portray the characters with emotion and depth.A good revamp of a hero.
Iron Man, let's face it, was awesome. His classic suit from the 70's is beautiful, and he's one of the most well-known superheroes ever. Kids will know him, and he hasn't even had a movie yet. So yeah, people like Iron Man, I like Iron Man, and so on. The thing is, Iron Man's animated movie, is not that great. The movie is action-packed, but it still feels as if there isn't much action at all. Iron Man looked very accurate, and there were many parts of accuracy with the comic book. The animation was not in CGI, to many peoples' dismay. I actually liked the animation. It was just like that of a normal cartoon. But the thing is, there were too many boring parts. It's a superhero CARTOON! They may be trying to make it a serious "Animated Film", but deep down inside, this is a cartoon. I mean, what made you like the 90's Spider-Man show? It was cheesy and fun to watch. The Invincible Iron Man tries too hard to be a REAL film. Ultimate Avengers is better, and it will leave you satisfied. Iron Man? Borrow it, or rent it.
