Best Marvel adaptation yet

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2008)

Wow, I loved this movie! I haven't read enough of the Iron Man original comics, but still this movie was amazing. I would have to say, Iron Man has been the best Marvel origin movie so far, followed by X-Men and Spiderman.
EXCELLENT graphics, amazing acting performance, and awesome script. The dialogue especially impressed me, with its witty sense of humor that was not over done at any point. The movie is absolutely enjoyable. A MUST SEE in theaters.
The one downside I have noticed is its "rushed" end. I loved how the movie was developed, as I really got to know the character of Tony Stark and the development of Iron Man, but I have to say the final battle scene was very rushed compared to the rest of the movie. The final scene was great, but the movie did leave me hanging in an odd sort of way, thinking "wait, that's it for the enemy???" The rest of the plot isn't too special either, but it's enjoyable. The character development of non-main characters was also left relatively low, compared to the main protagonist. In a sense, the movie was honest in that it was (almost strictly) about Iron Man (and Tony Stark), and I can see people wishing that the creators put a little bit more into other character development. Personally though, I liked it how it was.
I've heard that there will be a sequel, and I am looking forward for it. I have a feeling that it would not meet up to the quality of this one, but if they continue the script quality of this one, I'm sure to enjoy it greatly.
