Iron Man (375 stars of awesomeness)
I figured since it just came out of DVD I would review Iron Man (Single-Disc Edition)
. If you haven't seen this movie yet please go buy it now. Do not rent this movie it will be a waste of money since your going to want to buy it anyway :). I was already a huge fan of the comic book so I went into this movie already expecting certain things to take place and I was ready to rip it apart. And from the first five minutes I was already reeled in. Even though there was some changes from the comics. Such as in the comics Tony Starks was captured in Vietnam, but in the movie he was somewhere in the Middle East (can't remember for sure if they told which country it was). This was a welcome change, well at least for me it was, since the troubles in Vietnam aren't as well known right now. And I'm sure theres lots of other small differences between the comics and the movie, but thats one of the great thing about comic book stories, your always free to rewrite them to make them more releivent for the time. And what about Robert Downey Jr. in this one, wow what a performance. I have to say this is the best he's ever been, and thats pretty good. So the bottom line is WATCH THIS MOVIE or Tony Starks will come to your house and slap you in the face.

I absolutely loved this movie... I'd go so far as to say it's the best comic book movie I've seen. In my opinion, maybe even better than the Dark Knight (Batman), but I know a lot of people will disagree.
