Thank god for Robert Downey Jr.

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2008)

Seriously, thanks god for Robert Downey Jr., the actor was brilliant in the movie, after watching the movie i couldn't imagine any other actor portraying the role of tony stark, the guys was simply brilliant.
I had gone for this movie with a couple of my friends and we were sitting in our recliner chair with leather seats and a bag of popcorn and were ready for the ride. TO be honest i was a little disappointed with climax of the film. Come on guys, another movie based on a marvel comic hero i guess i was expecting a little too much after Spider Man.
The Movie starts off brilliantly with Tony Stark having a ride with the military in the deserts of Afghanistan and suddenly gets attacked and captured and how he builds his first iron man suit in a cave and escapes was just brilliant. Another scene that i loved was the one with Gwyneth Paltrow when she says its her birthday. A couple of lovely action scenes well choreographed i have to say but when u start comparing it with likes of transformers which had a huge ending and the likes of the spider man series (especially the second installment) one gets a little disappointed with the climax of this movie.
In all, i would give this movie a good 7/10 and nice action flick with some amazing moments and a pretty good supporting star cast of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard doing justice to their respective roles but the film totally belongs to Robert Downey Jr. who plays the role of tony stark to perfection from being a workaholic/womanizer/party animal and transforming himself into this superhero ..
