Ayron Man the movie


Watched Iron Man at Trinoma last Saturday after work. I'm not really familiar with the story of Iron Man, I am more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan. I grew up watching and reading about the Superfriends and Justice League. Like other Marvel superheroes, I had to google Iron Man to get an idea about his background, found out that he has a lot of similarities with Bruce Wayne (Batman). The main reason that i'm interested to watch it is because Iron Man is played by Robert Downey Jr. , one of my favorite actors and i think he did a great job.He's witty and has a great comic timing. The movie is action packed and entertaining, though I'm a little disappointed with Gwyneth Paltrow's role (loved her in Shakespeare in Love) and can't help but giggle when Iron Man starts flying(kinda gay).The movie is directed by Jon Favreau (Swingers). If you are not familiar with Iron Man, google him first to get the background story before you watch the movie. Some scenes on the movie are better understood if you know his story and how the sequels will evolve. I read that it will be a trilogy and all the main cast will be back for the sequels.
