Rob34207 here! I changed my name to TONGO. Enough of that. Claire probably wont be posting, but I just saw Iron Man, and ooooooh heckyeah its a keeper!
I will goosh about this film, and be spoiler free about it even. Downey Jr is P-E-R-F-E-C-T to play Tony Stark. The most correctly casted actor to play a superhero since Christopher Reeve in Superman. RD Jr adds layers of depth not diplayed by the comic character with his smart stylish humor. Its been a long time since Ive seen an actor reinvent an established character for the better.
Gwyneth Paltrow is excellent and Im finally convinced she has the goods. Not by anything she displayed in this film other than Downey didnt steal the screen from her once, and no she aint that sexy - she has strong craft as an actress. Jeff Bridges?! Who the hell am I to say anything derogetory about the steadiest actor in hollywood today. He was money, and added to the film. So much that I wanted to see more of him.
Special Effects?! forgedaboudit
For an incredible action movie its not just the visual effects, but the timing in the scene is key. The comedy in the action scenes were flawless, and the character development was done so sound as to make you help along the suspense factor. This movie is solid and I give it an A. Best superhero movie since X-Men 2.
