Iron Man is King of Comics on the Big Screen

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2008)

I didn't know anything about Iron Man as a kid, nor did not have any intentions of seeing this movie. I had seen the trailers and just kind of ignored them. My friends persuaded me to go see it opening weekend and I said I would because it would be better than studying for exams. I was very surprised!!! It was way better than I expected. Iron Man takes you in during the first ten minuets and doesn't let up to the lights come on in the theater. Although I liked Transformers better, Iron Man's dialogue is more for an adult audience. The action isn't as much as I thought would be, but when there was, it was very solid. Robert Downey Jr. is hilarious as Tony Stark, so the comedic side was a bonus. The others in the cast were good, but not great. No holes in the plot of this movie. Relax and take the entertainment in and go see Iron Man.
