"Meeting" the Iron Man

It's supposed to be May Day's activity, but was postponed coz half the gang couldn't make it. Today, that half of the gang still couldn't make it, so TH, Jean & me went ahead.

Plot is pretty simple, based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Iron Man. Our hero, Stark is a famous weapon maker. He got kidnapped by the local terrorist during a business trip to Afghanistan. Experiencing near-death, it suddenly dawned to him he's bringing harm to human kind and wanted to put a stop. However, his business partner, Stane, whom actually was the mastermind of the kidnap, wouldn't allow it. It lead to Stane reverse-engineering the remains of Stark's 1st Mobile Suit, and fought Stark's enhancement ....

Well, there's no handsome. As for pretty, I guess it'll be the female lead, and some reporter who came and went over for a couple of scenes. It's pretty amusing to watch Stark building a mobile suit from scraps. His super-high-tech-home-office would be a very nice-to-have, by a shallow cliff facing the sea. I was practically drooling over his collection at his garage. Unfortunately I only get a quick glimpse as the main focus on that scene was on him, working on his enhancement on the Mobile Suit. It's pretty amusing to watch Stark communicating with his voice-command robots.

Overall, it's pretty funny and enjoyable :)

My Rating: 6/10
