Iron Man - best superhero film to date

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2008)

After having been let down after watching Spiderman 3 about a year prior to the release of Iron Man, I had really no interest in watching another superhero film. But, as easily as I am influenced, my mother persuaded me to go pay a few dollars to see this. I wasn't expecting an excellent show, but I got one. I have never in my life seen a Robert Downey Jr. film, nor have I ever read an Iron Man comic or watched the cartoons. I was told that Robert Downey Jr. played a small role in a film I watched a few years back called Natural Born Killers. That wasn't assuring because I hated that movie. The movie kicks off suspenseful and is loaded with action from start to end. Robert Downey Jr. probably plays the best role as a superhero, Even HE'd play a better Spiderman. He gives the movie a large comical influence. The rest of the cast also played a crucial role in the movie's excellence. The plot isn't like something you've never seen, and it is something you would expect in a superhero film... it's above average. But when incorporating everything that makes a film: acting, plot, setting, etc. This movie gets a rating far above average. Best action film of 2008
