A good super hero movie but nothing too special

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2008)

I did not have high expectations for Iron Man.I had the feeling it was going to be a crap like Hulk or Daredevil.Luckily,the movie surpassed my expectations and it resulted to be much better than the two mentioned films (which is not a difficult achievement)...but the movie is nothing special.First,let's start with the good points of the movie.The best element from this movie is Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark.Downey Jr is a brilliant actor and he showed a lot of charisma and enthusiasm on his character.I think he made this movie better than what it really is.I also thanked the movie is focused on the human aspect of the main character and not only on his super hero face.But,this movie has some important fails.I found the action scenes weakly filmed.They never reach big impact or big excitement,so that scenes feel cold.Also,the excellent actors Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges are wasted on their roles.Iron Man is a competent film and much better than what I expected but that's not saying too much.I can recommend it as a good entertainment which has nothing memorable or special.
