Yesterday I saw IRONMAN. Good overall performance by characters. CGI is appropriate to the first installment in the IRONMAN series. Few events are gravity defying, but that's what superheroes are for. I would suggest people to watch the movie in theaters, to get their hearts thumping and the sound effects which justify the action sequences.
Its been already one of the best reviewed movies of 2008 and rated pretty high in IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.

Yeah the scene where he pronounce the rain and another one where he drops that bread-cake during Marathon were just awesome :)
Indeed a great inspirational movie.

The actor is too good at acting, hope you can dig more movies of the same actor.

The Classic is another movie, if u r interested to see.Though its not based on the same subject but features the same actor and a too beautiful actress.

Thanks. On to it. 4 more korean movies in my pending list
The Classic
The Audition
My Sassy Girl
Il Mare (Siworae)

Any more recommendation?

I love internet. There was no other way we could ever have known about these movies. Its a shame bollywood churns out thousands of movies each year and there are selected few which are bearable and sometimes watchable.

Is anybody a Omkara fan? I loved that movie, its direction and its lingua.

Havent seen Il Mare (though read abt the concept of the movie, its quite interesting) cuz of damn work :(
All others I hav seen, Audition is disturbing, My Sassy Girl is a romance cum comedy ride (my first korean movie).

Some Recommendations(in no particular order):
...ing
Bungee Jumping of Their Own (this one has a deep meaning)
A Bittersweet Life (a musical gangster poetry with excellent cinematography )
My Little Bride (cute and hilarious, what if a high school girl is married to a graduate :D)
Lump Of Sugar (Story abt a gal and her horse Thunder)
Once In A Summer (Dunno why but this movie is unforgettable one for me)
The Host (A mutated creature in the seol river and American Propaganda)
Windstruck (not really a worthy prequel to My Sassy Girl, give it a try)
Oldboy (Disturbing movie and twisted)
I'm a Cyborg, but That's OK (its similar to Marathan in theme, revolves arnd a girl who thinks she is a Cyborg and here on earth with a special mission)
Memories of Murder (Amazing movie that portrays the serial killings in Korea and the incompetence of officers, a must watch)
Samaritan Girl (Kim Ko Duk's masterpiece, caricature representation of society )
The Beauty and The Beast (this one is another funny movie :D)
This Charming Girl (similar on the line of Spring,Summer,Fall,Winter and Spring)
Lover's Concerto (If u hav seen The Classic and My Sassy Girl then do watch this one too)
Perfect Blue (A psychological thriller anime)
The Most Distant Course (You will delve into nature and its beauty in simplicity, similar on the lines of Spring,Summer,Fall,Winter and Spring)
Sad Movie (four parallel stories that intersects at the end beautifully dying one by one, lol...the title sums it up...really sad movie)
Daisy (just one word - Beautiful cinematography)
Bad Guy (Kim Ko Duk's caricature representation of another society taboo)


Btw I loved Company, didnt get chance to watch Omkara.
