Excellent Adaptation

I grew up reading comic books so am always interested in seeing how the Hollywood studios interpret these characters. In the case of Iron Man, they have provided a wonderful trip down memory lane, as they have interpreted the characters of Tony Stark, Iron Man, Rhodey and Pepper Potts just as I had imagined them in my own mind. The casting of Robert Downey was brilliant, as he provides just the sort of smart-alecky tone one would expect from playboy billionaire Tony Stark. Yet he has the acting chops sufficient to pull off Stark's change in moral compass halfway through the film. The character of Pepper Potts (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) could have been more developed, but we'll see what comes out of the eventual sequel. There is a hint of one in the movie... Overall a great evening's entertainment good for the whole family and fanboys won't be disappointed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
