I saw Iron Man this afternoon, and I am happy to say it was quite good. Robert Downey Jr. plays the billionaire playboy who decides to become a hero after he is kidnapped by terrorists and sees how his companies weapons have caused harm. Downey is funny and credible. The other actors do a great job, and put in very solid performances.
The plot moves along quickly, telling the story of his kidnap, escape, and how he makes his suit. It uses a good amount of humor to break up the action scenes. This contrasts with Batman Begins, and I think it works well in this case. Batman is very dark, and the mood is quite different.
The actions scenes are all well done. They are don't take too long, and all showcase different abilities of Iron Man. In comic book moves, the action sequences can take over the movie focusing on special effect and after time dragging down the movie - think Spider-Man 3.
This was great 4/5.
