Iron Man was amazing!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2008)

I would just like to say that I, for one, am not a huge action movie person. However, Iron Man was absolutely amazing! I loved Robert Downey Jr. and his portrayal of Tony Stark. A friend of mine, who is a huge comic book fan, has said that he couldn't think of anyone else but Robert Downey Jr. to play the character.
I loved the smart ass humor of the whole film. And let me just say, Gwenyth Paltrow did a great job with her part as well. The two had great chemistry and she put him in his place.
Another reason as to why I liked Iron Man is that it had a little bit of everything for everyone. You have the small hint of a love story for the girls and of course the blowing up and special effects for the guys. So this movie is not classified as a guy film to me.
I think the whole film was well written and some of the smart comments remind me of older films when people didn't have to use harsh language to get their points across. It was classy.
I say we give Robert Downey Jr. the Oscar for Best Actor. Why not? Unfortunately, the hyped up summer films get overlooked when it comes Oscar time. Now, I'm not saying this will be a Best Picture or anything, there are more movies that haven't been seen yet, but do not overlook some of the aspects of this film.
Also, if you have yet to see it, do stay through the credits as I'm sure some have already told you.
