We started to watch Iron Man last weekend, but the DVD was defective and we only saw the first 20 minutes. We managed to watch the new copy last night.

Beau didn’t think it was as great as the word of mouth said when it was in theaters. I thought it was pretty good.

I have always liked Robert Downey, Jr. and I thought he was great as Tony Stark. I was surprised at the chemistry he had with Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts). And it took me a minute to realize that was Jeff Bridges.

I’m looking forward to the sequel.

Iron Man gets 3.5 stars out of 5.

1. I would give it 4 or 4.5.

2. I love Robert Downey Jr too. I’ll add a 1/2 point for him to give it a 3, max.

4. Michael, I considered a 4 star rating, but while I really liked it I don’t think it’s quite there for me.

   Barb, glad to know that the movies I recommend are enjoyed by others!
