It's one of those things really - you wait years and years for a decent super hero movie and then 3 come along at the same time... Yes, Iron Man, followed hot on his heals by The Incredible Hulk, and then The Dark Knight. This summer is going to be brilliant for anyone who loves the comic book genre. But how did the first man out of the blocks fare?
Well, I'm amazingly happy to say that I absolutely loved Iron Man - and absolutely loved Robert Downey Jnr as Tony Stark. Back when Spiderman came out I was completely surprised how Toby Maguire owned the role - he WAS Peter Parker, this is repeated again with this role and I can't in my head ever seeing anyone playing this role.
As for the movie itself, it's an action fest from start to finish - never more than 5 minutes between an action set peice or major plot point reveal - and each one is glorious.
I can't praise Iron Man enough as a super hero movie. It's got everything. Just hope that Hulk and Batman (especially Batman) can live up to what Iron Man has given us so early in the year.
