There's gonna be a sequel......I hope

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2008)

This is the best Marvel comic to movie made in my opinion topping even the venerable X- Men. What was so great was that it captures the essence of the Iron Man's world so well. I was a big fan of Iron Man comics when I was growing up. I especially liked Don Heck and Gene Colan days of Iron Man, and this story has rich innuendos from those days like the homage to the original gray Iron Man suit, to the gold version, and to the red and gold design. What I liked especially was that they didn't try to make this Iron Man "dark" to pretend that it was a serious drama, (but it was a good drama none the less) and captures the blazing opulence of Tony Stark's glamorous world and boost it a couple more notches. This is truly Iron Man at its best, and it was the neatest Marvel character come to life on screen. I'm little surprised that John Favreau who played Foggy Nelson on Daredevil was the director for this film. He did a great job, and so did all the casts on this movie. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow were absolutely believable as Tony Stark, and Pepper Potts. Interesting was the arranged version of old Iron Man theme song playing in the back ground of this movie on few of the earlier scenes. Keep the flames burning guys, and come up with a sequel that's just as great.
**Happy Hogan makes cameo appearance as the chauffeur of the Bentley driving Stark from the airport back to the factory.
Tony Stark makes you feel, he's the cool exec with a heart of steel ! (if you know where this came from, you're really an old fan of Iron Man).
