This movie was amazing. Wonderful! Excellent. When I walked out of the movie, I told Jenn that for me its a 9/10 right now, and if I can't find anything wrong with it, then its gonna be a 10. Well I haven't been able to figure anything out, therefore, its a 10!
I wasn't one of the fanboys going to see this movie. Iron Man was never one of my favorite comics, or superheroes growing up (that was typically X-Men). But the hype around the movie, and my love of summer blockbusters meant I had to get out and see this, and I'm glad I did.
The action was well done, the acting, which many thought Robert Downey Jr. would not do well, was on point. I think he fits the role of the character very well, and brings a large sense of realism to the screen. Iron Man for me, feels like the same kind of superhero as Batman. A man with to much money and time on his hands, and a newfound grudge against the evils of society. And the CGI, incredible. I had read about the blending of live action with the CGI, and it really was well done.
And for those that don't know any of the storyline, but want to know something going in (because after my recommendation, who wouldn't see this movie :) ) - the basic premise is that Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) is captured in Afghanistan and to escape creates the Iron Man suit. Upon escape he perfects his creation, but as with any superhero there are always people that don't see eye to eye with their plans. I don't want to give away to much, so thats where I'll stop this.
My final recommendation, go see this movie. Its definitely no fluke that it make 100.7 million this weekend here in the U.S. Fantastic movie!
