Solid Comic Book Movie

Okay, so I walked into the theater not knowing what to expect. Last year around this time, Spider-Man 3 was my most anticipated movie of the year, and I must say, it was a bit of a let down in some aspects (namely the way a certain villian was handled) and well, it turned out it wasn't as good as I had hoped. This time around, with Iron Man, I went in without expectations. While I still feel The Dark Knight will ultimately be my favorite film of 2008, this will definitely have a shot at the #2 slot. Very solid storytelling throughout the film, and Robert Downy Jr's portrayal of Tony Stark was a nice surprise. I also have to give props to Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges for their roles in this. There was some cheese in this movie, but it's a comic book movie, so I can't complain too much about that. Don't expect a TON of action going into this. There is certainly enough, but don't think for a second this film is 2 hours of nonstop action, because it simply isn't. Oh yes, and do yourself a favor. Stick around until the end of the credits. If you are a comic book nerd like myself, you'll see something worth the price of admission itself. That's all.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
