Another of my old reviews, originally from 2008
Thought I'd kick off my reviews blog with what I think is the coolest movie of 2008...Iron Man.
So here's the thing: I like comics but don't think much of super hero movies. There are a few exceptions to that rule, namely: Batman Begins, the Crow, Blade (don't mention the sequels) and I actually really liked Electra (I know I'm gonna get flamed for that one).
I wasn't expecting great things from Iron Man.
Here's why: Jon Favreau is a great director but how cheesy would a swingers style superhero movie be? and Robert Downey Jr is a great actor but Stark is meant to be a super brain hard ass, I actually thought Robert would be too cool for the role.
