Man of Iron?

Hello Everyone,

I began my quest in seeing all the top movies this summer, last night with Iron Man. I am vaguely familiar with Iron Man through the brief run of the cartoon series that was on Fox in the mid-90s. I know that he is a Millionaire who owns his own company that makes weapons. I also know that his buddy Damien Rhodes becomes War Machine (he gets a suit of his own). That is about all that I knew about the Iron Man mythology going into it.


SPOILERS/POTENTIAL SPOILERS
I thought the casting of Robert Downey Jr. was brilliant; he is so cheeky and is such a smart ass and that is really capitalized on in the film. The rest of the cast is fine; Gwenyth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terence Howard are all decent in the film. Like The Fantastic Four, this is a real popcorn movie, but with a twist; it has a little bit more depth to it; that is during Tony's change in temperant from a rich playboy to a caring and morally bound superhero. I just loved seeing him building the suits; particularly the revised suit or the finished one. Even before the movie was over, I was ready for another Iron Man movie (HINT HINT HOLLYWOOD PRODUCERS). I laughed like a little school girl when Damien Rhodes looked at the iron man suit and said "Next time, baby". Bring on War Machine in part 2. I also laughed like a school girl at the bonus scene that came after the credits. Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury trying to recruit Tony Stark/Iron Man to the Avengers. What? Blows my mind. I also laughed when Clark Gregg's characters told Gwenyth Paltrow's character to call the organization that he was from S.H.I.E.L.D. instead of long form of what it stands for; I cannot remember what it does stand for.

In summation, Iron Man is just a really really fun movie to watch. I recommend this film to everyone or particularly to all who watch the comic book films. I hope that you all go out and see the film, cause I thought that it was awesome.

ENJOY THE SHOW.
