Iron Man Delivers

Like many others, i really wasn't expecting much but hoping they would do justice to the title by at least making it entertaining.
They succeeded. Iron Man is one of the better attempts at bringing an iconic comic book figure to the silver screen. Great special effects and some pretty witty stuff from Robert Downy Jr. as Tony Stark.
At first i thought "oh no" Downy is all wrong for that part. After seeing the movie i think he fit perfectly. He is eccentric, brilliant, a playboy, sometimes callous and lewd and caught in a turmoil between his fathers legacy (Stark Industries) and his new understanding of global responsibility for the weapons that his company produces. I think he pulls it off well and does justice to the comic book version. Kudos to Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow also for their parts. I think their individual portrayals were well done.
Now none of this is Oscar worthy stuff. It isn't that thought provoking or original, but it is entertaining. I recommend it.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
