Iron Man

Rating: 7
Genre: Action/Adventure

This was a Super Hero movie so it was very unbelievable; however, this was different from most super hero movies. Primarily, the super hero used gadgets and electronic devices rather than super-powers so that alone made this better than most. And, Robert Downy Jr. plays the part of a filthy rich genius who is a cynical, egotistical, yet self-deprecating smart-ass to a T.

Gwyneth Paltrow did a great job playing his assistant. She has a way of portraying humility that can charm your socks off.

The plot was pretty far-fetched but at least it didn’t deal with aliens, zombies, etc. It had enough element of feasibility to it that you could place this into the fairly near future without too much of a stretch.

What really made the movie good was the acting of Robert Downy Jr. This would’ve been a much worse movie without his presence. The action shots were done well and the robot in his garage had some of the funniest lines in the movie. Overall, I enjoyed the movie.

A word of caution: don’t waste your time watching the deleted scenes, they were pretty bad. I am very glad they didn’t include them in the movie.
