Iron Man

Recently saw the Iron Man movie. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Robert Downey, Jr. does a very good job portraying the playboy industrialist turned gold alloy titaniumed clad super hero (it's not really iron!) The CG effects were good, not requiring too much suspension of belief to buy into what and how Iron Man could perform his feats. Jeff Bridges played a good role, as did Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow, as the super-efficient assistant to Downey had the best line of the movie when confronting one of Downey's condescending one-night-stands the day after. I won't give it all away, but suffice it to say that it had something to do with Paltrow's job of disposing of the trash! Zinger!



Take it in if you can, you won't be disappointed. It's going to be interesting to see how it stacks up to the new Indiana Jones movie coming out tonight. Looks like we may have a few good movies to see for a change.
