The movie was funny and action packed all at the same time without one of those qualities ruining the other and making it cheesy (i.e. "Spiderman," "Hellboy," and "Fantastic Four") or simply downright bad (i.e. "The Hulk"). One other great thing about the movie that Marvel seems to have completely defeated is horrible acting. Whether it be from absolutely pitiful dialogue to simply bad actor choices, Marvel decided to overcome those obstacles in "Ironman" with an awesome cast. There is even a little peek at the one and only Samuel L. Jackson. It is most definitely the best movie to come out of a comic book since DC Comic's "Batman Begins." I Can't wait to see more of the same from Marvel.
