Iron Man - 4/5 Stars

[Bac2Day1]

Fanboys don't hate! I'm witholding the 5 Star rating for reasons I believe are solid and will explain in greater detail soon.
I totally slacked and didn't look into free screenings (of which there were plenty) to see Ironman, but I'm kinda glad I did. With my full price ticket in-hand I was waiting in a pretty packed line to see an oversold Friday Night DLP showing I was pretty stoked. The movie rocked, and even my friend that typically despises animated and fantasy movies was pretty blown away. The only reason I just can't give it a 5 star rating (to share the lineup with Forest Gump, Matrix, etc) is for silly little things throughout the movie that just seemed off. I understand that it's a comic book movie and as in any movie, the director (Jon Favreau in this case) asked you to "just accept it" a certain amount... but a few things were just silly. Like the flagship museum type building for the super duper power source by day... transforming into the baddie's evil doing lair, decked with pointless chains and such by night was a bit... silly. Again, nothing to ruin or even seriously taint the movie, but still kills the possibility of 5/5 imo.
All in all, a great movie... If your interest is peaked at all by the trailer... I'd say it's worth dropping some green to see it.

I agree. The movie was amazing and totally worth seeing in DLP. It had great moments of action, nice flow, awesome special effects, and well cast characters. I was skeptical at first of Robert Downey Jr. but i though he did a great job. In the genre of comic book books movies, it is one of my new favorites
