Advantages: Well written, well acted, well directed.

Disadvantages: Film felt very short.

Why has it taken so long for an Iron Man Movie to be made? This has been an ideal movie for me for a long time now - I love all the Marvel characters but Iron Man was the one that was really missing from the Big Screen. Ghost Rider and Daredevil are all well and good (unless you have seen Daredevil and know that's just not true) but Tony Stark and Iron Man are just two (or, technically, one) of the most amazing characters ever created. I know he is a millionnaire playboy but he is just so... real. Alcohol problem - a bit too much of an eye for the ladies. You don't need your clean cut superman nonsense when you have someone like this - someone with a bit of depth to him. Obviously the good thing about having to wait so long is that we got the perfect casting in the role. After seeing it, would you ever be able to imagine anybody else but Robert Downey Junior in the role? And he has such amazing support from Gwyneth Paltrow (who I normally don't rate as an actress) and Jeff Bridges to name just a couple. I am very excited about a sequel and I hope they start on it sooner rather than later. Possibly my favourite superhero movie ever.

Summary: Best Superhero movie ever?
