I was not familiar with Iron Man (I hear the gasp of horror) but I decided to take my nephews and sons. We all enjoyed the movie. Not a big fan of Robert Downey Jr but I think he did a good job. He actually looked kind of sexy. I don't think he has been known for his sexiness. Terrance Howard was great as the best friend, William Hurt I almost didn't recognize. Good start to the summer movies. Reminds me of Transformers which I also enjoyed last year. Must see in the movie theatres.
