Hands Down, the Best Marvel Movie Yet

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2009)

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Robert Downey Jr. was solid as debonair industrialist Tony Stark. Jeff Bridges builds on an already impressive resume with another spectacular turn as ruthless executive Obadiah Stane. Gwyneth Paltrow was enjoyable as the attractive Pepper Potts.
Throw in some solid direction by Jon Favreau, a rousing soundtrack, and some good voice work by Paul Bettany (as JARVIS), pepper the flick with a fair dose of CGI, and toss a few explosions into the mix, and we have ourselves a powerhouse worthy of the title 'blockbuster'! Hands down, it was the most entertaining adaptation of a Marvel comic book series to the big screen yet. And I'm actually kind of looking forward to a sequel.
