Surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2009)

Let me start by saying I'm a big Marvel comics fan, and given the low quality of most Marvel movies around this time (Fantastic Four, Spider-Man 3) I did not expect much from this one.
However, I must admit Iron Man was a thoroughly enjoyable film. It was well made, had good performances and action scenes, and a great story.
To be honest, this film is one of the closest I've seen to the comic books, getting things like origin and character development almost exactly right (but not exactly, obviously).
So If you're a comics fan or even just a fan of action movies in general, I highly recommend Iron Man
