ironman review
If you're anything like I was, and trying to avoid seeing this movie for one reason and that reason is named Robert Downey Jr., then take my advice and don't avoid it any longer. Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) and blockbuster/great movie, never would have entered my mind until a few days ago. I've been holding out for a date night with my hubby to see Prince Caspian or Indiana Jones. For once I didn't get my way. Neil was determined to see Iron Man and I felt that it was about time I let him have his way, since I do love him and all.
Remember when George Clooney tried to convince us that he was Batman or when Ben Affleck tried to be a Daredevil? I was all worked up that this would be another sad addition to that list, and went in thinking "There's no way RDJ can convince me he is a superhero" I was pleasantly disappointed in my assumption. He did really good.
Some things that were good:
• Great action flick. Really pulls out the testosterone levels in a man.
• Good plot. Although like most superhero movies, it tries to be realistic but there is no way a human could actually do these things, the plot kept moving really smoothly and you believe just for a second it just might happen. Wouldn't that be so cool.
• Funny. RDJ does pretty good with the action, stud, and a little comedy here and there role.
• Love plot. As a woman, and a romantic at heart, it's got to be analyzed. Most movies have the typical love plot: they are attracted to each other, they fall for each other, something gets in between them, they fall into each other's arms at the end and live happily every after (we assume). Well this plot is very different, in a good way. There is no cheesy "I love you, you saved me, now take me away" in this movie. If anything is realistic in this movie, it's the love plot. I appreciated that because although I love romantic movies, this one didn't need it to be great.
The only thing I didn't like:
• RDJ really needed to shave off that silly mustache and goatee. I'm sorry but only really hot guys can pull that off.

I love your movie review. I am on that same bandwagon of RDJ can in no way humanly possible pull off a hot superhero. It's good to read that you think he can and did, considering that our tastes are almost identical. I'll have to see it...but Indy has my heart and I must see him first. Comes out tomorrow baby, can't wait.
Great review!!
Interesting. I was going to put this on the bottom of my list too. RDJ really bothers me. Maybe I will give it a try.
I've always thought RDJ was kind of cute in a weird Bohemian sort of way. Haven't seen this yet as I thought it was weird having him as a superhero. I'll have to give it a try though.
I bet we saw this on the same night. We both really liked it! And by the by... I noticed a slight change in a certain banner of yours. It looks good. We need to hang out soon.... And yes, I should have emailed or called a million years ago.
Talk soon.
