The shooting for the upcoming Iron Man movie has apparently wrapped. Now the production heads to the editing rooms, the special effects studios, the sound engineers and all the other mountains of post-production work that has to go into it.
So let me say this. As most of you know, I haven’t been at all excited about the Iron Man project. As I’ve said before, it’s an uninteresting character (except for the alcoholism angle which they’re not using in the movie), who is just a poor man’s Batman (Non-superpowered guy who happens to be a multi-billionare, owns a multinational conglomerate and uses his vast fortune to make gadgets and technology to fight crime. Gee whiz… sound familiar?)
Having said that…. I’ve been forced to admit during this production stage that every single thing they’ve done so far seems to be the right decision. They got a young creative director, hired a PERFECT leading man, penned by a couple of magnificent screenwriters, somehow convinced the best Special Effects company on the planet to do the VFX… and backed it all up with a solid supporting cast. All things considered… that’s pretty damn impressive.
So am I enamored with the concept of Iron Man? No. However, have they done all the things that would make me anticipate seeing it? Yeah… they really really have. So there you go.. mark me down as yet another person really looking forward to seeing this thing. And now with production wrapped up, we’re one step closer.
