First, let me preface this by saying that I was never a huge Iron Man fan. The X-Men were more my thing so I didn’t know a whole lot about Iron Man and Tony Stark before seeing this film other than the basics.
It’s crazy, I know I’ll catch hell for it, but this film was, in my opinion far better than The Dark Knight. Robert Downey Jr. has obviously drawn from experience to play a philandering alcoholic womanizer. Jeff Bridges played a surprizingly good (and bald) villan, and Jon Farveau directed one of the best comics-to-film adaptations I’ve ever seen.
My one complaint is that Iron Man 2 won’t be released until 2010, but that does lead into my next review… The Incredible Hulk.
