Iron Man Delivers
PostedMay 4, 2008

There have been a lot of super hero action flicks lately. With "Spider-man" setting the bar in 02 and every hero from the "Fantastic Four" to "Batman" following suit, we've been up to our necks in heroes. Thankfully, "Iron Man" is much more than a half-hearted attempt to cash in on a comic property.
There is little to dislike about this film. All the actors deliver a solid performance. Bridges does come accross a bit stiff, I think it fits his character. There isn't five minutes in this film where something isn't happening on screen to make you laugh or to get your blood pumping. The movie doesn't even lean on Iron Man's suit to carry the movie. There are large gaps where the suit isn't even on screen, and although I was excited to see Iron Man come to life, I also enjoyed the character interaction and development throughout.
Comic geeks and the uninitiated will all find something to enjoy in this movie. Young children, however, might not be able to follow the stories mature dialogue. Just ask the four-year old that sat behind me in the theater.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
