Thumbs up * Iron Man *

* Iron Man *


Me and a couple of my buds went see this movie last night and we all agreed it was great...
For me, Iron Man is just so much more of a believable super hero... Far more so than superman
or any of the other super heroes that have super powers for one mysterious reason or another...
Tony Stark [Robert Downey Jr] is just a super intelligent man with health problems
[incurred in a military encounter in the movie] that he overcomes and builds a super suit
to fight for world peace... This is a real guys movie, not one to take a date to...
Girls probably wont care much for is movie, there is a small tiny little bit of a love story
between Tony [Robert Downey Jr] and Pepper Potts [Gwyneth Paltrow] his assistant
in there, but nothing that the girls can really sink there teeth into... Tony has the
scientific man shop that all us guys dream of and whole bunch of sweet sports cars
parked right there in the shop with him as he works... The special effects where fantastic,
storyline was pretty good and the good guy prevails in the end... I highly recommend
this movie for all the guys, but you might probably want to leave the girls at home for this one...
I'm going to be dreaming about flying for weeks to come now...
lol !!!

Thanks for the great review, Copycat. My husband really wants to see this one and it looks kind of good to me to. It looks like a movie worth seeing in the theater.

I guess I'm not your typical girl. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! I even heard a movie critic say that he used to think Spiderman was his favorite superhero until he watched Iron Man. The fact that a regular guy turns into a superhero by his own sheer genius(not by radioaction, or some mutation) is something to be admired. I really hope Robert Downey Jr. doesn't spiral into drug addiction again because he really is a very good actor that can have a lot going for him. I agree with you CC that this is really a must see!

Thanks for the live review, CopyCat. I'd wanted to go see it this weekend but it seems very unlikely now. Anyway, I'm sure to catch it before too long.

Yes this is one that you'll be glad that you went to the theater for...
The special effects and sound effects made it all that much better...

Well I'm just shocked at you girls [you, Noel & Kimberly] liking this kind of movie...
And yeah, I really hope they make some more "Iron Man" movies with Robert in them...
I'll be standing in line if they do...

I'm so sorry girl, I would have been happy to take you if I had known...
But I thought you were more of the love story movie goer type...
I remember seeing "You've Got Mail" on your list of favorites...
Yuck !!! Not at all my kinda movie... But I promise you you'll be first
on my list if there is a sequel...

This one and Indiana are definately seems cinema worthy by all accounts, thanks for the resumée Mitch. I'll toss in my 2 cents when i've gotten around to see it.

Looks like this is one that I'm going to have to convince my wife that it is worth going out with the guys to see. My wife prefers romantic comedies and isn't into action so thanks for the heads up. I don't think she would like it.

If your wives or girlfriends sat through any other super hero movies without too much complaining, then they should be fine with Iron Man. It's much more realistic (as realistic as super hero movies can be) and the cast is top notch.

My wife enjoyed this movie when we went to see it. It was a really great ride, and what a hit to have to follow. This is a great first film for the summer. I rate it a solid 4.5 stars.
