Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2009)

Had I been the producer of this film I would never have cast Downie in the role of Tony Stark, and what a mistake that would have been. Robert Downie Jr gave an amazing depiction of Stark that was totally true to the character as envisioned by his creator and along with Jeff Bridges and Gweneth Paltro to name a few the cast did a brilliant job of bringing the Iron Man story to life. The story line was well thought out and flowed like a mountain stream, the balance between action and humour was as close to perfect as could ever be wished for, the entire film was engaging from start to finish even the music couldn't be faulted and as for the props, I really want an Audi R8 of my own now. This was one film that left the viewer begging for more and the last line (pre credits that is) no-one could fault that one. Brilliant work, lets hope the sequel is as good but the bar has been set pretty high by this first outing.
