Iron Man

I have been so absorbed with my DVD-by-mail membership that I noticed it'd been more than a month (2?) since I'd been to a theater for a flick. Boy, am I so glad it was Iron Man I went to see - especially on the Big Screen! What a very pleasant suprise this film was! Downey's true-life speckled past (and talent) made him the best man for this role of a Corporate Executive (Owner/Genious/Mechanical wonder) who blindly follows the steps of his father (Company founder) in the business of weapons design and manufacture and literally with trial by fire sees the error of his ways and in the process becomes a hero of sorts, righting some of wrongs caused by his unexamined life. Loved the special affects and the sensation of flight (however mechanically aided - hey - lets be real) and the hard rock zepplin style drums and theme Music - Iron Man. The simmering (unaddressed) relationship between the gazillionaire Downey and his live-in "right hand gal" Gwyneth Paltrow strongly lends itself for sharp focus in future sequals and I "way" look forward to it. His milatary friend is also an excellent actor. What a fine cast this is. This time, it really is a recipe for success. Also, there's some great humor this film and you'll have some good chuckles if the huge audience of children doesn't completely take over the theater. Perhaps, a later showing would be more conducive to your enjoyment. I laughed, I cried. I smell a sequal! Hurry to the theater, buy your ticket on-line to guarantee a seat!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
