Review: Iron Man

Posted by addude13 on May 11, 2008

I’m not going to rehash the plot or give out spoilers.

Kicked butt for the following reasons:

–Great casting for most of the major roles, especially Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man (although pretty much any actress could have done what Gwyneth Paltrow did with the role of Pepper Potts, Tony Stark’s assistant-and-kind-of-love interest)

–Crisp direction by Jon Favreau

–Pretty good, snappy dialogue with plenty of foreshadowing for future storylines/sequels

–Cool effects and action/battle scenes

–And a scene after the credits promising more cool stuff in other movies and sequels

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Harleys
