Iron Man

May 28, 2008 08:12

We've been to see Iron Man twice now - once as soon as it came out, and then again the following weekend with the kids - and I'd be okay with going to see it every week until it's no longer in theaters. I guess that might be a bit excessive, though. The score is wonderful (I ordered the soundtrack as soon as we got home from seeing it the first time, and that's practically all I've listened to for the past few weeks), the story is excellent, the casting is fantastic, visually it's fantastic - really, I don't think there's anything about this movie I don't like. Gwyneth Paltrow is perfect as Pepper Potts, Terrence Howard is perfect as Rhodey, and Robert Downey, Jr., is so awesome I can't put into words how much I love him as Tony Stark. I'm still trying to convince Mike that we need to change our last name to Stark. He's not buying it so far, but I haven't given up yet. One thing we do agree on, however, is that this movie has set the standard for us when it comes to superhero/comic book movie adaptations.
