Iron Man is just another action movie with a few special effects. It’s definitely summer time.

That's probably true, but I go to movies for escapism, not philosophy. I kind of like to watch a movie where they get the plot out of the way in the first ten minutes, and spend the rest of the time blowing stuff up. Iron Man looked like it was heavily influenced by the Transformers movie.

As a comics buff, I liked the old original Iron Man better than the gold and red later version. The old costume looked like an actual suit of armor, the new just looks like a super hero costume.

They apparently pay homage to the old versions in the movie:

Then I highly recommend it!
Hubby, daughter and I just got back from a matinee!
Lots of action, special effects, humor, and a little romance!
My idea of a good time at the movies!
