Saturday afternoon I went to see Iron Man. Now when I first heard that Jon Favreau was the man making the movie my first thought was “The guy from Swingers, WTF?”

Let me say this, the man knows how to make a movie. I have always been a big Iron Man fan and they nailed it. Robert Downey Jr was perfect as Tony Stark. I have always been a big fan of Downey and he did not disappoint. The movie looked amazing. Never did I find my spef actually thinking “Look at those special effects.” Instead I was thinking “Damn this is good.”

I can’t say much without giving spoilers but I will say this, stay until the credits are over. There is also a great set up for more than one sequel and it was set up brilliantly.

When you go into it you have to realize this is an origin story and it is a very story driven movie. Everything in this film has purpose and they don’t waste your time with pointless scenes. Everything was direct and was key to the story. The way Downey portrayed Stark was true to the character that Stan Lee created.  We get to see the trial and error phase of creating Iron Man and it’s some funny stuff.  When the action does kick in it is well worth the wait.   By the ned of the movie you really are left wanting more.  You want to see where they are going to take Iron Man in the future.  I definitely want to see Favreau and Downey keep this thing going.  In closing Iron Man is definitely worth the price of admission to see it on the big screen, so go see it.
