IRON MAN REVIEW: The New Superhero Benchmark

We've been talking about it in the comments of the Preview for a while, but Matt + Nat chime in with their Review of Iron Man. Matt is convinced this is the new yardstrick to which every comic movie must be measured, and Nat just can't get enough of Robert Downey Jr.'s Performance as Tony Stark. All in all, it seems like Jon Favreau's Iron Man managed to serve many masters... but let's break it all down...

What did you think? Let us know at YourGeekNews.com if you think we're full of it, or if you're on board with our impressions of the first blockbuster of the Season!

Iron man was not better than Batman begins mAtt u loser

[alexander3062]

iron man was a great movie, but not as good as batman begins, and it is put to shame compared to the dark knight, imo.

[DogoHalibar]

Iron Man was super cool!! I loved the Uncle Ben moment between Tony and Yinsen.

[RoosterBooster25]

and your are so damn right. dark knight is the new benchmark ... forever

[tasirul]

In just a matter of days there will be a new benchmark and that movie is THE DARK KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Movie... Crappy Game.

The movie was terrific. Sure, it wasn't as groundbreaking or balanced the storyline like Spider-Man did, but it definitely took a more down-to-earth, subtle approach, focusing on the characters, making the whole movie an overall fun experience.

All in all, it was funny, action-packed, and made you care about the characters. 4 out of 5.

but to me the reviewers gave this movie to much praise. it didn't have as good of a storyline as batman begins or spiderman 2 and the ending to spiderman was awesome. there are being too biased and judgeing the movie of how faithful it is to the comics instead of which is a better film. like I said it was a great superhero flick but it didn't move me like spiderman and batman begins did

[itty69]

great fucking superhero movie
