2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   Iron Man may now be one of my favorite super heroes. This movie has a strong story, strong dialogue, and amazing visuals. Watching Robert Downey, Jr. experiment throughout the development of his armor is unforgettable. While taking the necessary time to build the back story necessary to an origin tale like this, Iron Man moves at a good pace, and this is one movie that delivers the goods at all levels. Not many movies can boast this level of solid story telling, amazing visuals, humor, character development, and energy. Iron Man is sure to stand the test of time both as one of the most incredible Comic to movie adaptations of all time and as one of the most entertaining films of 2008!
