Entertainmentoday

Yes, it’s true… Ironman has won me over! And not that it’s a surprise, since I’ve been waiting forever for this movie to come out. The minute I saw that Robert Downey Jr. was on board, I was immediately reeled in for the ride! This movie is pure entertainment. Good political story, great acting, great special effects. But nothing made it more worth my time than RDJ’s performance. He slides in to the role of Tony Stark as if it were custom tailored for him. He just sort of glides seamlessly throughout the film and is on point for every cue. He’s charming when it’s time to be a womanizer, he’s sarcastic when it’s time to be intelligent, he’s sensitive when it comes to the sexual tension wiht his assistant Pepper, and he’s cocky when it comes to being the superhero! I’ve read that he even went so far as to throw out part of the script at times, but I think this display of ‘divadom’ may have worked to everyone’s benefit. RDJ kicks ass in this movie! He’s the best thing about it, and I think with the staggering opening numbers (estimated $200 million worldwide), it’s proven that he’s worthy and confirmed for a sequel. If you are among the millions who didn’t catch it this weekend, be sure to stay to watch the ’secret scene’ after the ending credits.
