totally unexpected

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2008)

I wasn't interested in this movie at all. the Previews didn't interest me, I thought it looked boring and Downey is not my favorite of actors. It was my 5 yr old son who wanted to see this movie, so as I treat - we went. After the movie, I walked out contemplating on getting tickets to see it again right away. The action was realistic and engaging. I didn't really notice how "special" the effects were b/c the story and how it flowed was excellent. My son and 8yr-old daughter sat thru the whole thing. I was not pleased w/ the bedroom scene (don't see why that kind of crap needs to be in a movie - we already got the picture he was a play-boy). Even got goosebumps a couple of times w/ the American hero 'thing' and the music that went along w/ the scenes. it was well written, my kids even understood some of the good humor, and overall it was a great movie. Would highly recommend.
