This was my first movie for the summer of 2008 and believe me, I was not disappointed. Never having read the Ironman comics when I was growing up meant that I never had any introduction to the Ironman story or character till I sat down in the theater and the movie reel starting turning. However after watching this film I can say I will be looking forward to the next installment of this awesome story. The acting was great, the story line was well thought out and vetted, but the special effects were just downright incredible. It always amazes me just what those effects shops can do. If you have the time this summer, if you like non-stop action, and if you like movies that will keep you riveted to the screen, this is the one for you.
