Robert Downey, Jr. is perfectly cast as Tony Stark in the adaptation of Iron Man. Also, Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrance Howard and Jeff Bridges are terrific in each of their roles. The special effects are outstanding and Downey captures Stark's moral dilemna and decision to protect people brilliantly. FYI: please make sure you stay after the credits, there is an extra scene that must not be missed.
