Iron Man is just about everything a comic book movie should be. It’s funny, it’s exhilarating, and it’s got great characters. Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is perfect. Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts is a perfect foil for Downey’s cocksure playboy. The Dude is very good as the menacing bad guy. And director Jon Favreau is so money baby, and he doesn’t even know it. If Iron Man is any indication of what we can expect from this year’s crop of comic book adaptations we’re in for a treat.

Agreed. I had no idea who Iron Man was prior to a month ago. I thought this was a very good film.
Robert Downey Jr played the intelligent, arrogant, playboy character perfectly.
Great line from the movie “Tony Stark made this in a cave with hardly any tools….I’m not Tony Stark”
