I will however earmark here that I did have reservations about Robert Downey Jr playing Tony Stark, but he played the COMIC BOOK Character to a tee. And in hind sight I cannot see another person playing Tony Stark. I also believe that with Robert Downey Jr's past that helps me believe that he truly channeled Tony Stark's essence.

After leaving the theater, I was hard-pressed to come up with a single weak spot in Iron Man. I simply cannot fathom how anybody could not enjoy this movie. Sure, you need to suspend reality a bit, but that's required with most movies that come out. To me, that's what movies are all about - letting us explore a world that we can't experience ourselves when we step outside our homes. It's fantasy. It SHOULD be fun. Sure, there will always be, and always SHOULD be a place for simple movies about real-life stuff, but for me personally, I use movies as an escape from the real world. At least most of the time. Iron Man left me with a HUGE smile on my face - both times I saw it. For me, it's about as perfect a movie as I could hope for, and it's really hard for me to understand how ANYBODY can think otherwise about a movie that has no glaring holes in it. To each his own, I suppose, but I signed up on this web site specifically so I could reply about this issue about Iron Man. Though the original comic was written well before the current conflict in Afghanistan, the director decided to modernize the environment to give its target audience something to relate to (though you appear to be so out of touch I'd imagine the concept of relating to your audience may be difficult for you to grasp). Given the objective of movie makers to ultimately make money, paired with the outstanding numbers produced during its release, I'd say they are much more aware of what passes for a good movie than you are. Although, I don't think we would get the sense of what the character was like if it was a fifteen-minute scene. Have you considered the possibility that if it was fifteen minutes it would feel rushed rather than explanatory? I hope you don't mind me saying this, but (I know I am putting words in your mouth) is it possible that you gave the film such a low rating because you feel every popular movie needs a dissenting review for the sake of an opposing viewpoint? It's just that I really enjoyed the movie; even more than any super hero movie I have seen so far save (possibly) for "Batman Begins". I can see how you feel the beginning can feel "dragged out", but I'm hard-pressed to think of how they can do it any other way.
To start things off, I'd like to say that the number of Iron Man comics I've read in my life could be counted on my hands and feet. I'm very aware of the character, and I've read plenty of other comics that he was a guest in, and I've seen some old cartoons about Iron Man, but I've never been obsessed with him. So no, I don't think you need to have read all the Iron Man comics in order to enjoy the movie. With that said, I could not possibly disagree with your review more, David. The beginning of the movie is the defining moment for Tony Stark. Condencing it down to 15 minutes is the LAST thing that should be done with that part of the movie. Do you think Spielberg should have chopped part of the scenes in Schindler's List where he was assembling the list of people to save? That took a long time! Was it too long? Hell no! It was his defining moment. It should have been that long. You also think there was too much time spent on the creation of the suit (were you in a hurry to get somewhere that day or something?). To me, those were some of the best scenes in the movie. They really showed his genius. It's been a LONG time since I've gone to the first-run theaters to see a movie twice, but that's exactly what I did for Iron Man. What an awesome, awesome movie. Are you that much of an elitist jerk that you'd relegate graphic novels, comic books, and illustrated media to "kid culture"? Wake up. Marvel doesn't even use the Comics Code Authority anymore, and a lot of their books are rated for adult readers by their own in-house rating system. You basically decided to hate Iron Man because it's "from a kiddy book" and that's just wrong-minded and backwards. Educated, intelligent adults DO enjoy this sort of entertainment. Iron Man has been an excelling ongoing story, with themes of alcoholism, loss, and the questions of civil rights and fascism as seen through the eyes of the man himself, who ponders his moral and ethical responsibilities.
As an adult comic book reader, an educated person, and an intellectual, I am insulted by your apparent inability to enjoy a bit of light entertainment that plays with adult themes. Not everything has to be pretentious pseudo-intellectual twaddle to appeal to your grand sensibilities. Yes, my friend, you CAN talk about heavy issues without having to bore your audience. It can even be fun! You COMPLETELY missed the point of Iron Man, and I suspect you chose to do so because-- as a late reviewer-- you saw it as some sort of "duty" to give it a bad review, to make yourself stand out from the crowd and perhaps lead us to believe that you're just a little better than the proles who would actually allow themselves to enjoy a fun summer movie based on an adult-themed comic book. Tell me; Do you have trouble getting through doorways with that inflated head of yours? This lame critique smacks of a combination of elitism and ignorance. Is that ever a winning combination? When people want to hate on a film but can't find legitimate arguments, you know that's a quality film. This is clearly a review written in response to the massive praise Iron Man has rightfully received. Some alleged critics feel the need to "correct" what they see as misrepresentation. Don't think for a minute that this wannabe has structured his critique based solely on the merit of the film. It's quite easy to spot and that is inherently more silly then anything printed in a comic book. Are you that stuck up of a person that you can't actually watch a movie that isn't have to be "academy award caliber", and not enjoy it? What is wrong with you? Superhero movies are supposed to be FUN to watch. You are supposed to gawk at the unbelievable graphics and awesome suit that he builds. This was clearly one of the best superhero movies created and you hate on it, because it is, and I quote you, "dispiriting attempt to apply superficial principles to inherently silly kid culture." Hey buddy, my parents loved this movie. They thought it was awesome. In fact, most adults enjoyed Iron Man thoroughly. Why else would it have a 92% on this fantastic website. Obviously, you managed to get your job by default because you do not know how to watch a movie like this.

Iron Man was an amazing film and Iron Man 2 will be an amazing film. It had a great, and awesome plot, and storyline to it. I think my favorite type of movie is probably a superhero film, because the hero is saving the cty/town from a villian, and there are a lot of action scenes in it, the storyline and plot is not too hard to figure out, and they might thhrow a funny line in the film sometimes. Iron Manhad every single perfect movie element which made this film a really great film, and one of my favorites. The vast in this film was really good, and the special effects directer did a really good job of all of the battle scenes, and Iron Man should've been mentioned at the oscars. If I were you I would highly recomend you go see this film, and I would give it a grade of an A. I absoulutely love robert downey jr. if you cant tell by my username and out of all of the movies that i have seen with him i think this is one of the best ones so far i bought this dvd the first day it came out and no joke watch it everyday he did excellent on this movie and tropic thunder was pretty great too i cant wait for the soloist with jamie foxx and also sherlock holmes cant wait too see his take on that! excellent movie. I really enjoyed this movie; Robert Donwney's performance was off the charts amazing. I've always had a soft spot for underdogs, but he has truly come back to the big screen with a big bang. I truly hope to see him in more movies. You're right--the movie is critic proof to fan-boys like me, BUT, my wife who abhors my comic collection and all the dust-collecting action figures actually got a kick out it. Evidently, Iron Man wasn't for you...I don't think that any superhero movie can not have an "absurd" plot (mutants? dudes dressing like bats and spiders? guys who build kick arse flying suits of armor?)...you should've gone into the movie prepared to suspend your disbelief...ALSO, if you'd done a bit o' research on the man o' iron, you quite possibly would have appreciated the way Favreau and crew distilled hundreds of characters and storylines into a two-hour jaunt through comicdom.
I love how you start your critique by assuming that the Iron Man's intention was to be some politically relevant commentary about the war in Afghanistan. Obviously on that front it failed, but what you fail to understand is that this wasn't the point of the movie at all. This movie was a flight of fancy, of imagination: made to stir the same emotions that you get when you read your first comic book at 4 years old (could you read then.. or is that a recent development?).. it is not a political-social commentary. Stan Lee created many fantastic characters in his time.. all of them reflecting the internal struggle and the search for ones place in a world that defies perception. Iron Man is no different. I think Jon Favreau has done justice to the imaginations of many of us who grew up loving these characters and relating to their basic struggles, strengths and character flaws. Yes, the concept is fairly hard to swallow if all you can appreciate in life is the complexity fed to you from the liberal arts morons who strive only to complicate art.. but if you like plain and simple wonder and beauty and imagination come to life. Iron Man was excellent. The critical praise that this movie has received is further proof that America is finished. This movie was just another idiotic origin movie with decent special effects.We finally have the special effects to make great super hero movies, but unfortunately comics have gone so far beyond what movies can do in terms of story and art that theatrical representations will inevitably be unsatisfying.There will always be those fanboys who will put up with anything just to see superheros on the big screen. I however am not so forgiving. Iron Man was marginally o.k. I suspect most of the fanboys making such comments are either too young to drive and/or have a BMI of 40 themselves. However, after reading the review I didn't need to go beyond the opening paragraphs to discount Ms. Hoffman's opinion.
First: The assumption that Iron Man was making a statement about "the military-industrial complex". If you want that, go see stop loss, or Lambs for Lions. Notice how poorly such films do at the box office. That dog does not hunt.
Second: Anti-hero? No. Flawed, yes. Falstaff and Richard III are anti-heroes. Tony Soprano, Batman, and Dr. House are anti-heroes. People that you know you should not be rooting for, that you know you should not endorse their actions, behaivors and often their motivations, but you still root for in the privacy of a dark theater, these are anti-heroes.
Third: And this was the straw...
"Toe the line", not "tow the line" is the correct figure of speech. High school english composition should be mastered before one is given a job at any newspaper. How is that even possible in a Superhero movie like Iron Man? If anything, it followed all of the archetypes and came full-circle with the comic book.
You have poor taste in movies, and you're a terrible critic -- not for disliking Iron Man, but for making a bad excuse to dislike it. First of all, the uniqueness of Tony Stark is that he's a reluctant superhero. That was evidently portrayed quite well and very naturally for that matter. So what gave you the idea that all superheroes should start off as dedicated? The next time you go watch a movie or read a book, leave your stereotypes and biases at the door, enjoy the experience by expecting the unexpected. Maybe you were expecting something that you have watched before. As far as movie reviews go, yours was a "cliche" of sorts. I enjoyed the realistic setting and above all the characters. It was well written, well directed and above all well cast. Robert Downey was phenonmenal, and thoroughly enjoyed the acting of Howard and Paltrow. When is the sequel? Before posting reviews of subject matter that you obviously have no frame of reference to, you should take the time to understand the original work by the great Stan Lee. If you reviewers would understand where these movies are coming from (A COMIC BOOK, or graphic novel if you prefer) then you might get a better understanding of Iron Man. Instead of trying to take an obvious COMIC BOOK Character and trying to make him conform to reality. And if you would rather not understand the origins of these COMIC BOOK Characters then I would suggest you take your review and save them for something that you truly have feelings for.
