Lower dear, just a bit lower.
That's not a line from the set to the cameraman. That's a line from the casting couch to Joseph. |
I found it to be the most enjoyable "summer movie" I've seen in years. Downey Jr. was really terrific. I knew nothing about the character or the comics before going, and was thoroughly enthralled with the fun and the humor and the character developments. Favreau did a heck of a job, and I think his talent grows with each new project (I guess the projects themselves grow, too.)
While in the theater, I made a bit of a realization. Paramount is going to have a hell of a summer. Iron Man, Indy, Tropic Thunder... I think all of them are going to be #1. |
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Didn't stay for the end, and this is the first time we've decided to do that in the entire time we've been together. Why, oh why, did I avoid this thread? OH yeah, it's because I was hyped enough without you guys... Gah! |
I was entertained, but I had heard it was perhaps the best super hero movie ever, and it was from from that for me.

I liked Iron Man.
I enjoyed Downey's performance as well as Paltrow's. Jeff Bridges left me kinda cold. Wonderful special effects. Spoiler:
$100.7 million for Iron Man and $15.5 mil for Made of Honor. Wow. What a gap! |
The passage of time was definitely all kinds of screwed up. But since I was entertained, I didn't care at the time and am willing to try not to examine it too much after the fact.

I liked it a lot. Funny, actiony, comicbooky, all in good measure.
I loved Robert Downey, Jr. and that didn't surprise me a bit. I was a bit surprised to enjoy Gwyneth Paltrow and a bit surprised to be underwhelmed with Jeff Bridges. But a damn fine comic book movie, as far as those go. Completely enjoyable. I'm not asking for anything more from this particular genre. |
Ditto the Jeff Bridges sentiment...

That's not just a line from Robert Downey Jr. to his Iron Man suit. It's also the brainwave pattern Steve has before opening his mouth. ;) |
