“Tony Stark makes me feel he’s a cool exec with a heart of steel…”
Boy, that song brings back a sea of nostalgia. No, I was not born in the 1960s, but I did enjoy reruns of the Iron Man cartoon in the 90s. You actually hear the orchestra version of this theme in the movie, much to my glee.
I wasn’t really an Iron Man fan. Back when I collected Marvel comic books, I was more of an Uncanny X-Men addict. I wasn’t too excited by the prospect of an Iron Man movie, which was worsened by the fact that Spider-Man 3 (a.k.a. Emo-Man!) didn’t exactly endear Marvel to me.

I also love Downey's acting, it really made the movie worth watching 😀

I love the Spidey movies still (kung Marvel movies lang din naman pag-usapan). But Downey is a gem here in Iron Man as Paltrow is his decor. =)

May 7, 2008 at 12:39 pmI wonder if they're going to do something related to Marvel Civil Wars for a sequel. Parang andun yung hints at the end of the credits eh, when *wink wink* appears.
