I am a movie fan. I went to see "Iron Man" with two rabid comic book fans, one 10 yrs old and one 28. Jon Favreau and his crew did a fantastic job of not only acurately fleshing out this comic book tale (so I'm told) but also not alientating their brand new audience (me). Plenty of moving electrical parts, firey blast offs, and missile misteps to satisfy the hard man or the wowable kid in all of us. No lulls, no excessive violence, no horrible language. The human/emotional aspect with a hint of romance, but not enough to dampen the running vein of adrenalin. In fact, the worst part for my 10 yr old compadre was the string of mature movie trailers before the film began. I give this movie 5 out of 6 Tulip Petals for a VERY good time!
