Iron Man Soars

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2008)

A great superhero after a long long time. Up there with the Spiderman/X-Men series, and franchise reboot Batman Begins as the cream of the crop of superhero films. The story never drags, and Marvel's adjustments to the comics original story were sens...(read more) ible and well-done. Robert Downey Jr. makes an incredible comeback as a lead actor with this film, he is great as Tony Stark. The supporting cast is adequate. The effects are excellent, especially the suit itself. The flying sequences were amazing. Overall, a carefully woven, well-scripted, reality-based story helmed by a powerhouse cast and great effects propel Iron Man to the stratosphere.
