action / comics

(imdb rating: 8.3/10)
This is one of the best movies of the 2008

Plot: When wealthy industrialist Tony Stark is forced to build an armored suit after a life-threatening incident, he ultimately decides to use its technology to fight against evil.

Movie had a lot of buzz, the good kind from friends (and Roeper). Hey they can't mess all of em up. Kudos to casting on Downey Jr (and Bridges.. going bald is so evil; and Paltrow, really). Tony Starks is damn cool

Instant classic that puts this easily in the top 3 super-hero movies (in good company with Spider-Man 2 and The Incredibles)

Fun stuff
- Favreau cast himself as Starks' driver/bodyguard.. bodyguard really? I ain't sure he has the size for it. He does look big though
- reference to War Machine (when Howard's character looks at the other suit left at the compound towards the end)
- you definitely do not need to stay at the end of the neverending credits to see the extra footage they are showing (for comics geeks only)
