Heavy Boots of Lead....

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2008)

This was one heluva movie. I liked the acting, the story, the special effects, the music score, everything was great.
I especially like Robert Downey's ability to make his role multi-dimensional, from Billionairre playboy to boy genius to concerned citizen to super hero. He really pulled it off nicely.
Jeff Bridges turned in a great performance as the villain. He played the part of Downey's evil corporate partner perfectly. Gwyneth Paltrow played Downey's assistant (loved the name "Pepper Potts") and did it well.
The techies who did the special effects deserve much of the credit for making this movie the success that it is. It was simply amazing how they were able to create the "Iron Man" model.
The ending was perfect, without spoiling it for anyone, it wrapped up the picture very nicely.
Wonder what they'll cook up for Iron Man 2?
