Not usually a fan

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2008)

I'm not usually a fan of comic book films such as spider man, most batman films, Superman, hulk etc but this should be grouped with Hellboy and X-Men as one of the few that really make the grade as great films independent of their comic book heritage.
The acting from the entire cast was superb and the action looked polished and was highly entertaining. The thing I appreciated about this film the most was the witty and well delivered humour that credited the audience with some intelligence and didn't resort to the usual slapstick that a lot of these films tend to go for, in fact it was this feature in the trailers that really drew me towards this film and fortunately it stuck to it's word. If only Indiana Jones had lived up to its trailer, which, on seeing it for the first time before Ironman last night, was much better than the film itself.
Overall Ironman is great fun and refreshingly mature (in some ways!!!) and credible for a film of its genre.
