One of the best "comic book based" movies to come out in a while!

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2008)

In the past 10 years a slew of comic book movies have been made, or re-made, or made into live-action. Among these are titles like X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, Punisher, the Hulk and so on. Some (only some!) of these movies have honestly been a let down, whether it be because the story was lacking, the acting sucked, the characters were not explained or developed and so on. However, Iron Man was a great movie in my opinion. I am not extremely well-versed in the Iron Man comics, however, i know the basics, and i felt that this story was well told. i didn't feel the plot line being rushed, or a fake "guy/girl" relationship being forced on the audience. the point from beginning to end was clearly the creation, development and story of the Iron Man. it is a hilarious movie, it has action, some suspense, and is a definitely a flick to catch on the big screen!
