With Great Power comes Great Responsibility...

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2008)

OK, it went to another very popular Marvel Comic flick but the message was loud and clear, especially throughout the second half of the film.
An excellent role for the roller-coaster known as Downey Jr., who really seemed to enjoy and excel playing the troubled genius ill-fated billionaire.
Did it follow exactly as the 60's story did, no, but damn it was still a good story. It is still a great effort for a 'B' list superhero in the Marvel line-up, getting a treatment on screen better than the returning 'Superman'.
Combining elements of yesterday and today.. just as the Batman series (part duex) has been able to do.
Let's hope the sequels will follow suit where the X-Men films and Spidey's have faltered.
Comic book epic for sure... bring the popcorn and no bathroom breaks.
