Absolutely super.

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2008)

What can I say? This film was brilliant. I'm a sucker for superhero films, but Iron Man was so much more than I expected. First of all, lead man Robert Downey Jr brought so many facets to his role. I was super-impressed. His one-liners were certainly a high-point of this film. And his reformation is, thankfully, believable. It's deep, it's actually something that would change a person like Tony Stark into a humanitarian (kind of). Then was the villain, I believe his name is Razza. I loved his character development. He wasn't just some war-lord. No, he was power hungry. I loved the allusions to Genghis Khan. It made him so believable, especially considering that our world runs on fighting for power these days.
Hm, what else? Great decision to modernize the film and set it in a time younger audiences can relate to. Great script, although I think Pepper could have been better. Paltrow did an okay job, but there were a few moments that her character had me rolling my eyes and saying "Wow, this girl is dumb".
Overall, and incredible flick. Great graphics (Tony's computer equipment was awesome), and kudos to the machines in his lab who helped to provide a great amount of comic relief to this film. Not to mention the killer soundtrack. Brilliant. Loved it.
