Best movie of its kind. The Comic to Movie Genre is rife with less than great movies. Let's face it it holds a lot of garbage, but Ironman soars far above the rabble (in a shiney red suit!) Favreau took what is a decent comic and forged it into a fantastic movie. Who ever knew the dude from Swingers was such a wonderful storeyteller. He was able to craft a movie where the CG and Live action blend seamlessly in a "believable" fasion. It didn't hurt to have Robert Downey Jr, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard and Gwyneth Paltrow in the cast. Downey portrayed a jerk of a womanizing, war profiteer turned good guy and was able to make him seem...real. Terrence Howard is always cool but I wish I would have seen more of him in the film. Hopefully we will in the sequel. Jeff Bridges plays the classic Judas without conscious to a "T". Who could forget the always beautiful Paltrow, an actress so good she could make a commercial for vioxx and I'd want to buy it. To make it short, and I know I'm too late...SEE THIS MOVIE, you won't regret it.
