Not bad, very fun, light entertainment!

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2008)

I went into this film with very low expectations, but the film was actually very very enjoyable. Robert Downey Jr. was perfect in his role for Iron Man, both funny, charismatic, and very likable. Surprisingly he had a lot of chemistry with Gweneth Paltrow as Pepper Pots, his assistant. The acting was very good from them both, but fell a little short with Terrence Howard. The sound was excellent and the special effects was done very well. The music was a little over the top and the final battle could have been more thought out and longer. But overall, I would recommend this film. It has a very mass commercial appeal and Robert Downey Jr. is the best actor for a marvel character I've seen yet.
