Why Iron Man?
I tend to get excited about Super Hero movies. Maybe it's because of my love of Wonder Woman or growing up with Underroos or maybe it's just because they are so much fun. The hard part is that so many of them are really not that good. Enter...Iron Man! This movie had an early trailer that made me NOT want to see it. It seemed weird and strange, I didn't even know who Iron Man was other than the beginning of a kick ass Ozzie Osborn song (or was it Black Sabbath?). Anyway! The reviews came out and it sounded like a movie worth seeing, despite the trailer I had seen months before. I am here to attest...go see Iron Man for the following reasons: Robert Downey Jr. is amazing, it is funny, legitimately funny and it makes you root, silent, in your seat for the most believable manufactured Super Hero in a very long time. Batman Returns, awesome! But, Iron Man is giving it a run for it's money because it is smarter than it is dark.

i was pretty stoked about the xmen series, but most of the others have been a disappointment for me too! good to know that you liked i.man. i sent jamie to watch it with others because i thought i had no desire. :)
Wow a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes! I haven't seen very many movies with that high of a rating. I was very skeptical of Robert Downey playing a superhero, but now I will check it out.
