A thrill that many has been waiting for... but something was missing

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2008)

Let me first off by saying that this movie was great! I had a great time watching the movie, and this movie is packed with action and keeping you on the edge of your seat. Robert Downey Jr. did an excellent job playing iron man. He had that smooth, heroic, heart changing character and role that he perfected well.
The design, graphics, and special effects were great. This movie really showed the greatness which Iron Man really is because he seems to be overlook as a character. I'm glad this movie was made with great potential. However, there was something that was missing in this movie. My girlfriend and I wondered what made this movie want us having more. It was the final fight with the boss. Tony Sparks was this intelligent scientist who was a one in a million man with potential in weapon development. He created the initial Iron Man suit as an escape, and he then created something more powerful and stronger than his first idea. When Sparks fought the final boss, Sparks barely was able to handle the machine, and yet Sparks was supposed to be more smarter and equally stronger. That didn't happen, and Iron Man didn't stand a chance with the final boss. I was looking for Iron Man to kick to some butt with this final boss like he did with the people in Afghanistan. That didn't happen, and it kind of made my heart sunk.
Nevertheless, the story line and ideology was great. I truly enjoyed the movie, and I would pay to see the movie again. I enjoyed the action and character which Robert Downey Jr. displayed. The final boss was a bummer. Iron Man could take a big, strong missile, but he couldn't take a hit from another machine. I'll end this nice. Watch the movie and bring the kids!
