Simply spectacular

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2008)

With Iron Man the summer season of blockbuster movies officially began. This is a great movie, smart, funny, with awesome adventure and amazing action. Its pure entertainment since the beginning of the film until the end of this one. Although it has some little changes, the story is strictly based on the original comic book thing that I must appreciate. Jon Favreau delivers an excellent work with a fantastic vision of a comic in real life. The special effects are simply astonishing. The soundtrack is just great. Very good rhythm the situations move very fast a thing that makes the movie enjoyable and never gets boring. It has an all-star cast, everyone with great acting jobs, Robert Downey Jr. seems like he was born to be Tony Stark, this role fits hims to the perfection, a flawless performance from him. Jeff Bridges was excellent in his role of Obadiah Stane, he was the perfect villain. Gwyneth Paltrow was very good and convincing as Mrs. Virginia "Pepper" Potts. In conclusion, the movie was spectacular, it has everything a movie needs to enjoy, entertain and spend a really good time. It really exceed my expectations. Definitely one of the best superhero movies of the year and all-time. A real must see movie.
