Fun Summer Blockbuster at it's Best
PostedMay 2, 2008

Walked in with high hopes and prepared for a mixed experience, walked out with faith in the fun action adventure genre fully restored.
The movie rode in on some serious hype, Superbowl advertisments and major marketing, but it managed to live up to every bit of advertising.
Downey Jr. was in his glib, cocky yet quirky wheelhouse as Tony Stark. The supporting cast all nailed their charachters perfectly. T Howard was a perfect straigtman sidekick. Jeff Bridges was way outside his usual loveable looser niche, but nailed the cold cunning executive turned evil warlord perfectly. Paltrow pulled off the role of dotting assistant pining for the effections of her boss excellently. It was great to see top tier actors put their spin on comic book characters.
I was concerned about Favreau directing, becuase of his results with Daredevil, but I was very happy that he was able to pull this production together so well. The two films are NOT in the same league.
IronMan followed the comic enough to satisfy fanboys while being creative and fresh enough to be a fully entertaining 2 hour summer blockbuster.
CGI and effects were sharp, flashy and fun.
Top notch summer movie on par with the first Spiderman film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
