I went to see Iron Man today. Of all the movies made from comic book superheros, I think this one is by far the best.

Robert Downey Jr. owns the part of Tony Stark in a way I don't think anyone else could have. In fact, all the casting was superb.

Inasmuch as this is about a man who builds himself an indestructible armor that allows him to fly, there is some suspension of disbelief involved. That being said, nothing was really over the top.

This movie is a fanboy's wet dream. Something to go on and on about that actually has merit.

Many in the audience applauded when the movie was over.

Four to four and a half cows from me.

I just read a positive review in Entertainment Weekly this weekend as well.  I'm so happy that not only did they entrust this movie to Robert but that it is being well received.  I have always had a soft spot in my heart for him, even if he can be a major fuckup at times.

Man...I really want to see this. I'm a junkie when it comes to Comic Book hero movies. I think that somewhere inside me is a ten year old boy. I'm crazy about them. I haven't had a chance to see it, doubt I will get a chance till it comes out on DVD, but I am glad to hear positive reviews. Gabriel got to see it with his grandfather and they both said it was really good. This will be something to look forward to. Thanks!
