Iron Man
Ok, seriously, do yourself a favor and go see this movie.

Kicking off the summer blockbuster season is Iron Man. If you haven't heard about this one you must have been living in a cave for the last two months because they have been pushing it really hard, and for once Hollywood actually delivers on its hype. Wonders never cease.

Robert Downey Jr. has been around the Hollywood scene for quite a while now, we have all watched his highs and lows, but this role was simply made for him. He is the perfect Tony Stark, brilliant, billionare playboy inventor, and the suit is simply built for him.

Now, I never really got into the Iron Man comics, and after seeing this flick I feel as though I may have been missing out. It probably was more of a good thing though because everything caught me by suprise.

After devouring the trailers (and even downloading the demo for the game) the movie wasn't at all ruined for me, and the person I feel was directly responsible was Jon Favreau. His direction was excellent, and if Sam Rami set the mold with the first Spider-Man then Favreau put rockets on it and sent it to space. There is a new superhero in town, and his name is IRON MAN.

Seriously, go freaking see this movie.
