Superb...

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2008)

This movie had more of a negative buzz when the news even broke that Iron Man will be made... boy were the buzzes wrong! This is one of the greatest comic based movie ever! The moment I heard Jon Favreau was directing it, I knew it'll be great. He puts forward human interaction and self discovering in characters before wild visual effects like in this movie or Zathura, or even before Will Ferrell in Elf. Then the name Robert Downey Jr. came, this will be the movie to wait! I can't even imagine who can be Tony Stark now because of Robert Downey Jr. He's really the greatest. Even if his character here isn't that much of a difference than in Zodiac, if he wasn't in this movie, I think the movie won't even work. I even think his dark past helped carve his great talent here today. Waiting for Tropic Thunder here! Not only are the visual effects superb, there's still a chunk of story we can actually care about. Jeff Bridges... Oh, Jeff Bridges! I was surprised! I usually see him as these goody-2-shoes characters... he was so evil here! This movie just has to have a sequel! It just has to! I blame the writers and Jon Favreau for it! Serves you right for making that big cliffhanger and bringing a certain great actor WAAAAYYY.... in the end of the movie! I want sequel... Now!
