AWESOME!

I loved this movie. I had never even heard of Iron Man until my husband said it was worth buying after he saw it overseas. So I got it and watched it yesterday and was pleasantly suprised! It was action packed, funny, and even had a little love story weaved throughout! I highly recommend it! GREAT MOVIE!

Excellent movie was more that I thought it would be

I was surprised to find that this was not just another formula super hero movie. Of course there were tremendous action scenes, and very evil villains, but the hero was different. The hero was intelligent. It was so refreshing to watch someone with great intelligence problem solve during "impossible situations". Also, although he starts out as a rebel with a bad streak, he experiences a major transformation and the audience gets to watch his character develop in a way that I found to be meaningful.

Although the movie dragged a bit at some points, it became so interesting that I wanted it to keep going. In fact, I'm really looking forward to the next Iron Man movie (the plot totally calls for it so I'd guess it will happen).

I would also mention that Robert Downey Jr. was outstanding. I've always considered him to be one of the greatest actors of our time, and he did not disappoint. Of course Gweneth Paltrow did an excellent job as well.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend this movie, particularly to those who enjoy intelligent characters, action, sci-fi and good vs. evil.

EXHILERATING!

Iron Man breathes new life into the Marvel movie universe.While most marvel movies nowadays involve some young hero out trying to find himself while trying to save the city at the same time,Iron man takes a more sophisticated and more adult approach.While there is a considerable amount of time dedicated to Tony Starks's Ingenuity i.e. building suit prototypes,weapons aand ect, good filmaking and an excellent script make this a rather enjoyable process.Any doubts about Robert Downey's acting are put to rest by this movie,as this by far is one of the strongest performances of the year.Very suprising was the lack of sexual content and graphic violence which usually defines movies as "good" nowadays.Iron Man is a rare breed of action film in many respects,a lack of pointless and graphic material ensures that anyone in the family can enjoy this film and a good script and plot round out any beliefs about this film being yet another hormone driven teenage flop.

Iron Man, see it on the big screen if possible!

There has been at least one review that highlighted some of the sexual scenes in the film. To respond to that reviewer, the film was rated PG-13, not G or even PG. Furthermore, don't get me started on why foul language/moderately graphic violence or other behaviors are allowed and tolerated in most big budget Hollywood films that ARE aimed at children! After all, this is a review of Iron Man. Most people who didn't 'get' Robert Downey's portrayal of Stark didn't ever read the original comics, or if they did, forgot much of what they read.

Let's not forget that Tony Stark was the original rich, womanizing, misogynistic playboy who had an epiphany steering him onto a new course in life. I didn't all of a sudden go from a hard drinking, cigar smoking playboy to a Priest, but he DID change his ways. This was portrayed by Downey almost flawlessly. To categorize this as a flawless performance would be difficult because movies about superhero characters lend themselves to so much broad interpretation from long time comic fans, to casual readers, to those who dismiss comics as 'kid stuff'.

At it's heart, IM was a great movie that happened to be about a superhero. I'm glad that the movie wasn't action top to bottom. This made the action sequences more enjoyable, and highlighted the acting prowess of the great cast (how'd they get Gwyeneth Paltrow to sign on at Potts?!) I for one look forward to IM 2, but I'm less anticipatory of the Avengers...I mean look at the X-Men franchise!
