Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man
I took an hour off early today to go see a matinee of Iron Man. When Tony Stark, a rich weapons designer/manufacturer is kidnapped by a terrorist group armed with his company's weapons, he designs an armor to escape and make amends for his company.

The movie is spectacular with good acting, great special effects, and a fun mix of drama, action, and comedy. Robert Downey, Jr. fits the role of Tony Stark to a tee, in looks and character, especially from what I recall from the comic books. I read somewhere that Jon Favreau had to convince the producers that Downey would be right for the role. I've read that the actors have signed on for two sequels already. If you go see it, stick around to the end of the credits for an extra scene that is really good, especially for comic book guys.

Did I enjoy the movie? Very much.
Would I see it again? Oh yeah.
Buy the DVD? Yes.
