I just bought the Iron Man DVD today! This is the best film of 2008 to me. I like it particularly because the story-line is faithful to its comic book original. Marvel Comics apparently financed this movie so that it can control the direction of their characters. They want to avoid fiascos like Ang Lee's Hulk and other shows like Daredevil ( Ben Affleck? C'mon!) GhostRider and Elektra.
Robert Downey Jr's portrayal as billionaire-inventor Tony Stark is superb! He is exactly how the comic book character is suppose to be. To me, this show is da bomb!
After I'm done with this, I'm gonna watch The Incredible Hulk next!
