Iron Man -A Review-

Best. Superhero movie. Ever. 

Have you seen Iron Man yet?! NO!?!? What's your problem?!?!?!?!?!?!

Seriously, this was a kick-ass flick, and if you like superhero movies you'll LOVE this one. 

The best thing I can say is that Gwyneth Paltrow (as the unfortunately named Pepper Potts) is not even remotely annoying. In fact she's understated and pretty good. 

The most common thing I can say is what everyone is saying and thats that Robert Downey Junior is fantastic as Tony Stark. I hope his drug problems are behind him, cos RDJ is one of our finest actors living today and since we can assume the producers signed him to a multi-sequel deal we can look forward to Iron Man 2, 3 and so forth! Keep 'em comin'!!

Okay, here's the poop:

Tony Stark is an american weapons manufacturer and richer than god, and fucks more pussy than a cats-only kill shelter. He sips cognac while being driven by soldiers through a war zone. He's awesome. We love him. We want to be him. His house is bigger than Dolly Parton's tits. He's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Well, it just so happens that while he's visiting Afghanistan he's captured and is forced to build a weapon of mass destruction, since that is his forte. He uses his enormous brain to construct instead a way to escape his Afghani captors. Bad-a-boom, bad-a-bing he's Iron Man, and he can save the world... or can he? BUT, someone else wants the power Tony Stark has, and they'll do anything to get it. Will they? Can they? Do they? When they?

Robert Downey Junior delivers another excellent performance as playboy Tony Stark. The man is gifted! If he could only keep the straw out of his nose!

Gwyneth Paltrow plays his assistant, Pepper Potts, and, as I said earlier, she's not annoying. In fact she's actually quite good. 

The shocker for me was that Tony's partner Obidiah Stane was played by none other than Jeff Bridges! I had no idea! He looked nothing like himself, but he played the shit out of that character and he was fantastic! I LOVE Jeff Bridges so I was shocked that I didn't know it was him. Pleasantly shocked. :)

Rottentomatoes.com gave it a 93% Fresh rating based on 215 reviews, so that only backs me up!

I say, see this movie while you can, but if you can't, rent it starting September 30, 2008.

It's prolly better on the big screen but don't worry, you'll love it.
