At first I had a tough time trying to believe Robert Downey Jr. was my beloved Iron Man from my youth (my favorite Marvel hero) BTW. But from the first scene of this film Downey grabs your attention and keeps you riveted. The casting in this movie was stellar, Jeff Bridges turns in one of the most diabolically sinister evil villain roles I have every enjoyed viewing. Terrence Howard brings trust, loyalty, friendship and warmth to an otherwise dry military part, he killed it! Gwyneth turns in an outstanding performance and really captivates you with her conflicted dichotomy of her situation and relationship to Stark played by Robert Downey, Jr.. Amazing performance, amazing film.
I love this film. The CG is mind blowing and unlike Transformers this film fills your eyeballs with tons of details to how the body armor is completely installed. This is one of the greatest CG events ever released.
The technical effects in this movie alone make it one to grab two copies of on DVD, (one to watch and one to pass on to the grandkids).
This is going to become one of my all time favorites. Thank you once again Stan Lee.
Five Stars, Big Thumbs Up and yes my nine year old loved it two pieces. He was glued to the screen and loved every bit of it. He is the only reason I went to this early first showing of this film, he was jumping out of skin in anticipation.
I will be seeing this movie over and over again. Enjoy!!!!!
