26-02-09 - Monday I - Ironheart (Marvel 2025)

I've been struck down by the lurgy yet again (first time this year, I believe) and so it's given me some time to catch up on TV. This afternoon I smashed through Ironheart and actually quite enjoyed it, despite the negative reviews I've heard about it. Only six episodes, and each episode was approx. 50 mins; I found it nice easy watching. I think I've got some of the early Ironheart comics somewhere, they're probably bent up but if I do find them, I might give them a read to see how closely the film follows the comic story. There was a bit of magic in there, which I wasn't that keen on, which you might think is weird, given that it's a film about superheroes, but there is an internal logic to these films and that came very close to breaking that logic; I think they got away with it by invoking Dr Strange, but only just... I did look to see if they had a second series planned, but it looks like the reviews have kiboshed that. Shame really, because it could have been interesting. 

TTFN.
