I loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2008)

It was awesome! Big ups to Robert Downey, Jr., he did an excellent job and looked so healthy, I was so proud of him (I'm obviously a big fan of his and was quite concerned over the years of his substance abuse) he was fantastic. He was convincing, but I wasn't surprised by that, he's always been a great actor, he was funny, believable and sincere is his transformation from money grubbing war machine builder to humanitarian. Jeff Bridges was great too and it took me a few seconds to recognize him. I recognized his voice before I recognized his face. As an avid movie goer I knew he was the villain right away and was hoping against hope he wasn't. I didn't do any research before it came out and I don't know the Iron Man story that well so I wouldn't have known who he was in advance anyway. The scene on the plane when Terrence Howard's character is so upset with Robert's character is hilarious. The story was very well played out and the relationships were introduced well with plenty of room to grow in the sequels (I'm hoping for at least 2 :-D). Action scenes were great, the humor really really good, loved his line "yes, I can fly" and even quite a few touching scenes. Excellent film!
