Iron Man - 2008

What It Is: Um, the big Hollywood movie based on Iron Man.

Why I Watched It: It was shiny!

What I Thought: A very fun comic movie.

Strangely enough, it felt a little more adult than your average Spider-Man or Superman tale. I'm not sure if it was Robert Downey's smart ass playboy role or the fact that Iron Man actually kills bad guys rather than just tying them up.

Regardless, the movie was fun and funny. Pretty goes without saying, this whole new generation of comic movies is sexy as hell and Iron Man was no different. Gwyneth Paltrow was as forgettable as always. God, I hate that woman. Jeff Bridges played a good maniacal villain though!

Did I mention Iron Man was really, really funny! Like surprisingly so!

I should mention, when you watch the film. Stay through the credits for a surprise cameo buy everyone's favorite Sam.

Highlights: The name of Stark's digital butler, an awesome performance from Robert Downey, and lots of funny bits!

Who Should See It: Comic fans, action fans, and the significant others that are dragged along with them.

How Soon: Makes a good theater trip while you wait for Indiana Jones 4!
