Funny as a comedy and super cool at the same time!

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2008)

I've never been a fan of iron man, I just slightly knew who he was and I usually only see movies where i know there's many great actors present. So I was very skeptical when i found out that Terrence Howard (which i've only seen in 50 cent's get rich or die trying') and Robert Downey Jr. (never seen him in a movie before) belonged to the main-characters.
Thankfully the trailer was really cool so i couldn't help myself but to see it... and i'm glad i did. The movie was excellent. I laughed more to this movie than i do to most comedies and it made me more excited than most action-movies. The only words that came out of my mouth on the way home was "wow" and "I must see the sequel, NOW!".
Terrence Howard was great and i couldn't believe that it was the same actor from get rich or die trying'. Iron man, who i barely knew, became one of my favorite heroes and I almost feel obligated to see more movies with Robert Downey Jr. because of role in this masterpiece. All the other actors were great as well but these two caught my attention most.
The story "how Tony Stark became Iron Man" worked better than i expected and the movie caught and held my attention from start to finish. The movie was so interesting that the time just flew by and that is very rare!
I know that i've not said anything bad about the movie yet and frankly, there is not much bad to mention. The only thing that made me disappointed was that even tough the movie was almost two hours long, it felt short. I could easily have watched another 20-30 minutes of Iron Man, this year's coolest and funniest superhero.
