Iron Man

The summer blockbuster season is finally here with the arrival of Iron Man. "Iron"ically (couldn't resist), it was the final action scene that hurt this film. The story - even for someone as unfamiliar with the character as I am - was well done and the character of Tony Stark, brought to life on the screen by Robert Downey Jr., was even better. Throw in the eye candy (Gwyneth Paltrow) and the pompous ass (Jeff Bridges), and you've got yourself a pretty damn good movie that would have been even better if not for, again, the somewhat cheesy fight scene in the climax of the film.

Rating: 7.5/10
