May 2, 2008. There are summer block busters that live up to hype (Pirates of the Caribbean) and those that do not (Spider Man III). And then there is Iron Man, which exceeds even my unreasonably high expectations. To say that it was the role that Robert Downy was born to play doesn't do credit to his work in KISS KISS BANG BANG but it does indicate the depth he brings to the Bruce Wayne of the modern age. The crackling repartee between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) is actually interesting and somewhat reminiscent of Nick and Nora (of THIN MAN fame). But now that superheroes are big and every franchise from the Green Arrow to Captain America will get his time on the silver screen, I have become disenchanted and I will be much more discrimination in my future choices. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/
