Robert Downey Jr. Is out of rehab and back making movies. This movie does a great job of showcasing him at his best. He is funny, arrogant, a playboy, and a snappy dresser but you can't help but like him. Which is weird because at least at the beginning of the movie he is the head of Stark industries, one of the worlds largest defense contractors. He's pretty much the awful person that you'd hate to be associated with, however he's leading the life that we'd all love to have. The movie is really well done with great special effects and sound defiantly worth the watch in the theater. The movie isn't as cartoony as so many of the comic book based movies like Spiderman or the hulk. It also manages to avoid the type of love story type movie that Spiderman has become. While there's alot of sexual tension between Stark and Miss Potts his sexy and efficient assistant, nothing happens and I hope it stays that way in what i'm sure will be many sequals. One other thing, Stay till after the credits as they squeezed in a short scene at the end.
Final review Great movie, lots of action, and I only looked at my watch once.
4.5 stars out of 5.
