I normally don't go to movies at the theatre, because I have 4 kids and it costs a fortune. I was a big comic fan as a kid, but just thought Iron Man was "ok". With that said, I'd pay to see it again, and it is possibly the best (or one of the best) superhero movies to date. Special effects were amazing, Robert Downey Jr. was phenomenal, and the whole story was believable, while sticking as close to the original as possible. I can't wait to own it on Blu-Ray! Go see it! Stop what you're doing right now, load up the kids (or whoever) and GO. You will NOT be sorry!
