Anyway, I took my wife to Iron Man for Mother's Day. Yes, she said she wanted to see it too. No, I really didn't believe her. Yes, she really liked it after all.
So, as far as the movie goes, it was FANTASTIC! Now I have to admit I'm one of those closet superhero fan kind of guys, what still having comic books from my youth and such. And I've seen all of the Superman/Batman/Spider Man/X-Men/insert comic book hero here movies that have been made. And until now, I thought Spider Man and the X-Men movies have been the best. Not classic movies by any means, but cool, enjoyable, summer blockbusters.
But Robert Downey, Jr. is great in this movie. His portrayal of Tony Stark, the man, is terrific, what with the complex emotions and one-liners and such. And when he becomes Iron Man...well, that's just icing on the cake.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm heading to the garage to see if I can turn those extra metal garbage cans into a cool red and gold suit. I'll let you know how the flying bit turns out.
