Comic finally done right
PostedMay 4, 2008

from Hoboken, NJ
--After the plethora of comic book movies being released for the past few years, we finally have something that was done right and appealed to the comic book reader and to people who have never held an Ironman Comic in their life.
--From an average movie-goers perspective (girlfriend), it was packed with action and great acting. The movie did not lull. When there was not action, you felt as if it was building up to another scene. You were constantly entertained. Downey Jr was simply superb. He played the part extremely well, which was something I did not expect. He was able to go from heart-felt, to sarcastic/cynical and back again without missed a beat.
--For those of us who have read the comics, the factual basis was quite well done. The biggest things I look for was an accurate portrayal of Tony Stark and an decent tale of the creation of the Ironman armor. I was not disappointed in either aspect. The Stark portrayal was not exactly as comics put it, but rather seemed as if they lumped all of Stark's personalities into one, including his alcohol phase. I felt this made the movie much more watchable than it may have been had they not made Stark a likable character. As for the creation of the Ironman armor, it follows the story fairly well from the first suit to the later ones that Stark builds.
--Overall, the movie was extremely well done. It is most watchable by anyone, and deserves 5 stars. Remember to stay around until the end of the credits for some foreshadowing.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
