This is what I look for in a superhero movie!

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2010)

Iron Man... isn't the first hero I think of when asked "Who's the coolest superhero ever?" Well, he wasn't until now.
Robert Downey Jr. plays the perfect billionaire in this. (I mean, you need someone who looks good with his shirt off. Nicholas Cage was seriously considered for the part? Yuck!) Practically every time he opened his mouth he had something funny or important to say. No time wasted in this.
Rob Downey, of course, wasn't the ONLY good thing about this movie. :) They picked a sinister villain (you can't have a superhero fighting lame wanna-be criminals), a hot love interest and they seriously deserve 11 stars for the writing.
It's fun, it's got action, it's got romance, it's got humor and it's got super powers. If you're looking for the perfect superhero movie, skip past all those Superman films and pick this up. You don't have to call yourself a nerd or a comic book reader to watch this (though by the end I was practically out the door rushing over to the nearest comic book store)!
