Undergraduate Admissions

So I thought that once I was mostly done with school, that I’d have plenty of free time.  So far, that isn’t really the case!

On Friday I went to see Iron Man, actually with the same people that I saw I Am Legend with at the end of last semester, interestingly enough.  I thought Iron Man was a great movie. It was pretty Hollywood-y, but in mostly good ways. The only objection that I had was that the “terrorists” were pretty one dimensional characters. That wasn’t too cool, but what are you gonna do?
Other than that, I thought Robert Downey Jr. was great as Tony Stark and Iron Man, and the effects and the action in the movie were really well done. It straddled the line between being ridiculously awesome and being grounded in reality with great precision; even though the events of the movie were clearly unrealistic, there were very few moments that made me think “oh, come on”. Tony Stark was full of snappy one-liners, but they were all actually pretty witty. One thing that bugged me - why did every piece of technology have to glow SO BRIGHTLY? Great movie, though. It’s up there with my favorite comic book movies.

If you see it, be sure to stay after the credits! You’ll miss out on seeing the guy who might possibly be the baddest…dude… in the whole movie.
