Downey IS Tony Stark!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2008)

Have four Marvel favourites and Iron Man is in there. Ironically he is amongst Marvel's first conceptions too. The back story of how Stark became injured is almost identical to the original story and the story rolled out similar too. Stark's construction of the suit and it's testing etc is spot on and decidedly hilarious! The entire cast in this is class. Jeff Bridges is as Downey is, scarily similar to his comic book counterpart! Gwyneth Paltrow brings class and panache to the role of Pepper Potts. An example of brilliant casting a horrible oversight when casting the girl for the Spider-Man films... The chemistry between Downey and Paltrow is electric and importantly believable!! The fight sequences and action are superb and humour is side splitting at times. Any marvelite will get a great kick out of this over and over as it's a perfect Marvel movie!
