Really good

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2010)

What a cracker of a film! I went not expecting too much, but thoroughly enjoyed a cracking story - great humanity in Robert Downey's performance and of course Jude Law doing his bit. The scenery was authentic (though all cgi of course), and the movies overall feel was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen meets Bourne Supremacy. Guy Ritchie has a great feel for an English-type story (poss from all his Gangster type pics), this is a strong thread in this film - the smells and sights of Victorian England are strongly drawn.
I particularly liked the story twists and writing. All the plots tied up and made sense.
There will be a sequel, but that's great. Ironman was the start of Downey's rehabilitation in the film world - this reinforces it.
Well worth the admission, and one I'll buy when it comes to DVD.
