better than xmen and spiderman

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2008)

So the story starts out, man captured, man tortured, man build suit of armor to kill terrorists, then man raise hell and kill bad guys in the u.s. But the premise is so much more, its multi-layered fun and what Hollywood has been waiting for. Partly everyone wanted to see a comeback from Robert Downey Jr. and we got it, he is perfect in this role, funny, the movie would of sucked if it was anybody else ex:tom cruise. the action in this movie is amazing cgi and an estimated 180 million dollar budget definitely was put to good use. Rarely in superhero movies we get this much comedy and rarely is it that the superhero was part of an evil corporation and changes has views and defends the good. Jeff bridges: where the heck has he been, his portrayal as the main villain in this movie is well catered, no big lebowski though. Gwenyth paltrow gave an excellent performance, one of her best in my view. Terrence Howard: good job. I think this is better than xmen and spiderman because this wasn't as well known as those comics, but it packed a punch, if portrayed well this could be one of the best superhero movies ever and it is. Go see this movie and make sure you stay after the credits for a little tease.
