Iron Man was built for Robert Downey Jr.; and helmed superbly by Jon Favreau. It was a smart, fun, action-filled thrill-ride. I would put it up there with Spider-Man and Batman Begins as far as class and enjoyment. I can't say I was surprised by much as I was a few steps ahead of the film at every turn; but it is a comic book movie, not an original thriller, so I forgave it for that. This was Marvel Studios' first self-financed movie, which gives more hope to it's future endeavors like The Incredible Hulk coming out later this month. With more more control it looks like they can crank out some very faithful flicks. I'm ready for Iron Man 2.
