“But Robert Downey Jr. IS an alcoholic superhero!” exclaims my friend, and that is the true success behind this movie. Just as Soon I Will be Invincible is the perfect superhero novel, Iron Man is the perfect superhero movie. Funny, touching,–did I mention that Robert Downey Jr. is in it?–fast paced, and with lots of gadgets.
If I had one more sentence I would finish with “Well worth two hours of your time and $10.00 of your money.”
Now, now, Robert Downey Jr. is not such a bad reason to see a movie. I absolutely loved him in Chaplin (I cry every time). Having written that, I am still not sure that I will see it. -S
