Iron Bowl

Iron Rice bowl?

Got free tickets to the Iron Man movie from a vendor and watched it with my colleague on Wednesday night.

Now, seriously, the Iron Man movie, isn't that just another stereotypical American movie?

They have the protagonist Tony Starks: White, Rich, Smart, Heir of a business empire, Man-in-distress turned Hero. Then somehow they fit in Gwyneth Paltrow: The blonde love interest that is all too similar to Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman - Looks pretty on screen, makes no significant contribution other than to appeal to a guy's groin and to appease the ladies going into the theatres, gets into trouble and needs our hero to help while continue to having a vaguely ambigious relationship with the Superhero.

Obadiah Stane, the old rich caucasion that wants power and to take over the entire corporation. Following that we have the token black guy. Army officer that plays like a silly sidekick to the rich caucasion, cracks alot of silly jokes, knows a little of the inside secrets of our Hero and, last but no least, makes no progression through the entire film. His role just stays the same throughout the entire movie.

Its one of the best sterotypical movies from Hollywood that one can draw an example from.
