Robert Downey, Jr. in the movie Iron Man

Iron Man: The Little Comic Book Movie That Could.

This brilliant summer blockbuster not only made director John Favreau a household name, but showed us just how good a comic book movie can be. The special effects of Iron Man seemed almost too realistic, as if the U.S. Government loaned John Favreau an actual suit of body armor and told him not to tell anyone.

Robert Downey Jr’s performance as the womanizing, constantly drinking industrial genius Tony Stark was nothing less than genius itself. If this movie is Downey’s come-back role, then we are ecstatic to have him back. The villains are villains, the action is hard and the movie is solid. Iron Man was one of the most anticipated films of the summer and is now one of the champions of the summer movie season.

Until Next Time,
