Best Comic To Movie Adaptation Ever
PostedMay 3, 2008

from Phoenix, AZ
Jon Favreau is the new "Bryan Singer" in Comic Fans minds. At least he is to me. Iron Man is the most "dedicated to the source material" Comic Movie made to date. Thats a lofty statement considering the company its in. With established franchises in the Spider-man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four Soup bowl; I went into this film hopeful, but not expecting much. Boy was I ever surprised. Gone are the days that Comic book movies are, well....Comic booky. Iron Man isn't just good, its REALLY good, and it delivers on my 3 basic criteria for a good movie (1) its an actual movie clocking in at 126 minutes. You can really sink your teeth into it. (2) The acting is superb. You will find no over the top performances here. and (3) The story is solid. Jon actually tells a story that has been told in the run of the comics unlike so many comic book movies where the only thing you recognize is the characters. As this is Marvel's first in house published movie; alot is riding on it. Trust me, they have nothing to worry about. And in the immortal words of the great Stan Lee "NUFF SAID!!"
Yes, I recommend this movie.
