Review:
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Downey Jr.'s character is lively, witty, sarcastic, and rugged. After seeing him star in a couple dramas, it's great to see him come back in such a huge role. Let me tell you, he really hit the nail on the head. The story definitely calls for sequels to come and they'll be just as good, I can hardly wait. The movie itself was pretty fast-paced, action-packed, and kept you reeled in the whole time. I didn't find the story too predictable, but you always know there's going to be some kind of villain in a movie like this. Over all, great directing, great acting, and great effects. I highly recommend this movie. It makes me want to be a superhero :]

My Rating: 9.5/10
