Iron Man
Suit up for action with Robert Downey, Jr. in the ultimate adventure movie you've been waiting for, Iron Man! When jet-setting genius-industrialist Tony Stark is captured in enemy territory, he builds a high-tech suit of armor to escape. Now, he's on a mission to save the world as a hero who's built, not born, to be unlike any other. Co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and Jeff Bridges, it's a fantastic, high-flying journey that is "hugely entertaining" (Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal).

Not Bad - detersti
It's hard to make these superhero movies from comic books into good movies. This wasn't a bad effort as it was a pretty decent movie in it's own right. Downey did a good job of the lead role and I think lifted a lot of the movie onto his shoulders and carried it through. There were a number of big name stars which can sometimes backfire, but in this case they all did well and didn't outshine the movie itself. The only think holding this back was it was a little too korny at times and a little too unbelievable at times, but other than that, pretty good.Great Movie! - MD71
I absoutely loved the movie and look for to seeing the next one.
Robert Downey Jr. has done something with his Superhero that other actors have yet to try with theirs, ... loosen up, have fun and add some humor. The screenplay does a wonderful job of adding issues that American's fear at this particular point in time, using the war on terror to make the film more realistic and envolving. Also, Jeff Bridges really does break out in the second half of the film to create quite a villianous character.
Highly Recommendedgreat movie - xray6
What a great flick! Full of action, great special effects, and a truly fantastic and witty dialogue. Robert Downey has redeemed himself as a passable actor as long as he is given the right script. It makes me wonder how the sequel could have been so bad!
