Robert Downey Jr. is IRON MAN
Gotta be hands down the best casting for a character in a super-hero movie. Until now I think Michael Keaton as Batman was best but Downey owns the role of Tony Stark. My one problem with Keaton was he seemed a little small for playboy Bruce Wayne but he overcame that with fantastic acting and a great script. Downey has both and perfectly captures the image of Stark as billionaire playboy and a sense of comedic timing that was hugely impressive as he nailed near every joke. And there were plaenty of laughs but it didn’t overtake the the film,Director John Favreau kept perfect balance between the humor, the fx and drama. IRON MAN should leap to the top of every comic book aficionado’s best adaptation to film list which includes the likes of BATMAN, SUPERMAN, SPIDER-MAN 2, and X2.
