Iron Man Micro Review

Last night Mike Arrington invited several hundred of his closest friends, twitter followers and esteemed bloggers to a private screening of the new Iron Man film staring Robert Downey Jr. Despite some legal attempts to stop the screening initially, finally sanity prevailed and the screening went ahead.

To sum up Iron Man in 100 words or less? Tony Stark is an alcoholic genius weapons manufacturer, who after almost losing his life to a terrorists and hundreds of pieces of shrapnel making their way into his heart decides to work for good and designs a suit of armor  that turns him into a superhero.  He sets out to right wrongs, blow up a lot of bad guys and battles the man who set him to be killed and has stolen the plans for his suit and made it bigger and badder. Awesomeness ensues.

Just watch it, you’ll enjoy the ride. It’s *just* on the right side of implausible.
