Iron Man, directed by Jon Favreau, was a thoroughly enjoyable summer action movie. This movie rejuvenated the superhero genre with its excellent storytelling, and superb cast. Downey Jr, Howard, Paltrow, Bridges... Each of them played their parts well, and made for an exhilarating flick. The movie did a great job of telling the (slightly modified) backstory of the Iron Man/Tony Stark character. I cannot wait to see where they go with Iron Man 2. (Although I was a bit disappointed to hear they are replacing Terence Howard with Don Cheadle for the role of Rhodey [War Machine!]). This film gets my strong recommendation - buy or rent it soon, on Blu-Ray if possible. The picture and sound are amazing - just turn the bass down a bit, unless you really like to rattle your windows and wake the neighbors!
