I was leary about sitting through 2 hours of yet another marvel re-inactment of loved comic book characters. However, I was pleasently surprised by this take on Ironman. To be honest I didn't know I would love Robert Downey Jr. as much as I did. He pulls off the aloof billionaire turned badass hero really well. I found myself sympathizing with Tony Stark, getting frustrated alongside Pepper Potts, and loving to hate Obahdiah Stane. Great movie can't wait for the sequel. ;)
