As a mother of boys, I've seen my share of super hero movies...this was the BEST by far. Although most make an effort to keep it entertaining for the adults, Iron Man was enlightening for all - political overtones aside. Robert Downey Jr. was in his element as the spoiled genius with no evil to be found. His kinship with his creations was believable and amusing to watch. It was nice to see Miss Paltrow back in a nice take on Bond's MoneyPenny.
