Iron Man
2008 (Jon Favreau) PG, 125 min
Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard
The summer’s first blockbuster, this one produced by Marvel and directed by Jon Favreau of Elf and Swingers fame, is a slick, funny and action-packed film that will appeal to comic book fans and those who just want to enjoy a great flick. The brilliant casting of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, the talented, hard-living womanizer who eventually sees the error of his ways, takes the superhero film to a new level. “One of the hippest, best-written and best-directed superhero movies ever -- a splendid way to kick off the summer movie season," says Lou Lumenick of the New York Post.
