I read Iron Man as a teen into my early 20's but gave up when they constantly made changes trying to keep it 'fresh". When I heard they were going to make Iron Man into a movie my first thought was 'no way' thinking it would be as cheesy as Mr Fantastic or Dr. Doom in first Fantastic Four movie but I was wrong.

They stuck to original formula and updated it for 21st century without ruining the basis of it. Tony Stark was still a playboy and seller of weapons to the military. Robert Downey Jr. played the role perfectly as if the role was made for him and this comes from someone who did not think highly of him before. Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise were interested in the film and I see why they were not selected. Cage, while a good actor, could not be as affective as Downey was being befuddled at points and this movie would have become about Cruise not Tony Stark is Cruise had gotten the role.

The ending was a bit of a letdown not being as well done as first parts of the movie (Marvel ran out of money since they self-financed it?) but it had more to do with special effects and time than acting. Hopefully there will be a director's cut.
