Iron Man out on DVD

Iron Man, starring Robert Downey, Jr., came out on DVD today. We haven’t been buying many movies lately but we had to have this one! Rarely am I as pleased with spending the money to see a movie in the theatre as I was when we saw this movie.

Tony Stark is kidnapped by terrorists and told to build a weapon for them like the one he has already built for Stark Industries. Instead, he builds an iron man. I have to say that I had never really found Robert Downey, Jr. to be that attractive but when he gets all hot and sweaty as a blacksmith to build his metal man my heart skipped a beat. Tony Stark then escapes back home and builds a new and improved Iron Man to fight the bad guys. And fight he does.

This movie is funny and will have you laughing right from the beginning. It has action that will have you cheering at the screen and the relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts is fantastic. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Pepper Potts and I am so glad that they put such a big name actress into a role that would normally not have an A-list actress. She made the part and the chemistry between her and Robert Downey, Jr. is fantastic.

I highly reccommend this movie though I’m not sure how good it would be for young children. It is the best based on a comic book movie I have ever seen. Not one of the best. The Best.
