Far from The Dark Knight, but one of the best ever.

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2009)

Iron Man is a cool, smart, and funny comic book film that is one of the best ever made.I will come out and say this. THe Dark Knight is better. You have to agree with me because The Dark Knight has brains, it's serious, and it's amazing. Iron Man is one of the best films ever, but The Dark Knight is the best film ever. Robert Downey Jr. is great as Tony Stark, a cocky weapon builder who is held captive. He is forced against his will to make a weapon called The Jerico. Instead he builds a suit which is his one way ticket out of there. So he returns to L.A. and decides to shut down his business. Because he saw tons of people murdered by his weapons. His friends Pepper(Gweneth Paltrow), JIm Rohdes(Terrence Howard)and Obideiah(Jeff Bridges) are all surprised. Tony begins experimenting with his iron suits. He soon fights crime as Iron Man. Iron Man has amazing visual effects. To think it's directed by Jon Faverau. Everyone in Iron Man is great and I think Robert Downey Jr. deserved an Oscar nomination for this and his role in Tropic Thunder. This film boosted his career back up. Robert Downey Jr. is here to stay for a while. Iron Man 2 will be out on May 7, 2010 and I can't wait til it comes out.
