Iron Man (2008)
Excellent entertainment
Just remember to leave your brains home, lean back, and enjoy the ride. This is a harmless movie to teenage kids and adults who never grew up (that would be me). Transformation of the main character brings some kind of rhythm to the film, but leaves the philosophical aspects of life out of the way. Computer generated scenes are good enough not to disturb. The details are even enjoyable at some points.
I enjoyed the absurdity of the Playboy life in the beginning, and the shameless action scenes. If you are into engineering or science, check out how Stark does his thing. The long duration was not a problem. The balance is just right. If you are into eye candy with big blasts, this is something you should see on the big screen =D

"I do know my name, but I don't know who I am"
The summary was the comment our 7 years old son launched after watching the movie. Yup, he managed to concentrate through it. Maybe he was fascinated because the people in the movie sit on the same kind of cushions that can be found from our living room. He has also visited our city zendo in Helsinki and knows his family members are into this stuff.
This is a piece of art that made me laugh and cry. Laugh because of the obvious bad jokes that surface while these two "genres" clash; and cry because of emotional discharge caused by explaining the essence of an orange. If you know the tradition - just watch it. If you do not enjoy sitting still and watching the blank wall - you might find this movie challenging.
