Great Effects+Great Writing+Good Acting = A Great Superhero Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2008)

This is a fantastic start of the "Avengers" set of movies! I've been an Ironman fan for years and this stands as a tribute to the character and the story so many fans have come to know and love. I will happily see this movie again as well as buying the DVD when it is available.
I would happily pay to see RD Jr. as Ironman in at least 2 more movies. He seems born to play the character of Tony Stark. I hope that he has his personal demons under control finally and is ready to step up as the great actor we all saw so much potential in years ago.
The rest of the cast is well chosen and turns in laudable performances. But they have a big shadow to stand in, namely, the Ironman suit! You can tell this was a work of love for the special effects folks and this is exactly the sort of thing that the current generation of CG can do so very well. I can’t wait to see more of it!
