Iron Man was a great movie!

We went to see Iron Man and really enjoyed it. I haven’t ever seen a movie with Robert Downey Jr that made an impact, but he was excellent as Tony Stark. He did a great job. Until I saw Iron Man, I didn’t even realize he was cute. But it turns out, he’s a handsome guy. Who knew? Jeff Bridges did a great job as Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger. You know, we just don’t see enough of him anymore. One of my least favorite actresses, Gwyneth Paltrow (click here to see why), was in the movie. In spite of that, it was definately worth seeing. I thought it was a great story and enjoyed the entire movie. As far as it being OK for kids to watch? I’m not taking mine to see it. I think the PG-13 rating was a wise choice. I think the ‘hole in the chest’ thing would freak out the young ones. As far as the PG-13 rating goes for the ‘action sequences’, it was comparable to the Transformers (with a little more blood).
