Life as I Know It; Family; Lifestyle; and Healthy Living!

We watched Iron Man last night and man it was worth it!


Robert Downey Jr., I can't tell you how much I enjoyed him in this role and how he amazed me with his talents, even after all that he's been through in his life, he still has IT!


If you haven't seen this movie yet, and you're a COMIC book fan, as I am, you have got to go see it, I think that it is even better than the Transformers movie, (not a comic, but one of my childhood favs!) and I did love the Transformers movie!  Yeah, doesn't take much to impress me but hey, I know what I like. 


My kids loved it too and even hubby was able to sit through the entire

2 hours and 6mins without sleeping, that's a plus!

Robert Downey Jr., has been an actor I have enjoyed watching whatever he does, he makes it really believable!  Gwyneth Palthrow, well, I was not so keen on her recently especially with her 'Britain being better than the US' nonsense!  She was OK and real enough in her role of Pepper Potts, I must say I liked that name and it does suit her!lol! 


Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane was also good in his role, wow, he played it to a T!


I had no idea Terence Howard was in the movie!  I just hadn't seen him in the previews I've seen at all!  I wished they had given him more face time, but his role was significant enough, they just should have used him more.


I won't give anything away if you plan on seeing it and haven't yet!  Suffice it to say, it will be worth your viewing!  Now my son can't decides which comic hero he prefers more, Iron Man or Spider man - kids!

I really enjoyed Jeff Bridges. The man has matured! And you are right, the whole movie was a thrill from beginning to end. One of the few my son and I both enjoyed equally as well of late.

It is a pretty awesome movie.  We went to check it out since Chris wanted to see it. I thought maybe that I'd mildly like it, but I thought it was fantastic.

He was good wasn't he?!  We had a late night too.  You would not believe how crowded the movie theatre was!

Yes it was!  My hubby gave it a four!LOL!  Although it kept him awake the entire time, it doesn't rate up there for him because it's not the regular 'bang, kill em' type he likes - guy movies!LOL!

Like you, I thought Iron Man was a fantastic, good fun movie.  Robert Downey Jnr was perfect for the role too.  I thought the whole cast was superb, even Gwyneth, who I usually think of as ordinary at best.

Now, all I am waiting for is the next Batman installment and the new Incredible Hulk and Justice League and Wolverine and...

Iron Man did totally rock. I hoped you stayed for the scene after the credits.

Maso is right. Robert Downey Jr. was perfectly casted.

 

Now, all I am waiting for is the next Batman installment and the new Incredible Hulk and Justice League and Wolverine and...

I can't wait for them to come out. Tony Stark is suppose to be in the new Hulk movie and I can't wait to see Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker.

Whohooo!  I ccan't wait either!lol!

Nope, had to take Amanda to the bathroom!  Thank heavens it was practically at the end and when the credits rolled I ran out with her.  My son did though and he told me what happened!  Can't wait to see the next one, Nick Fury!!!!!  Samuel L Jackson in the role!

 

Tony Stark is suppose to be in the new Hulk movie and I can't wait to see Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker.

Oh yes, me too!  I heard Heath was really good at the Joker.  So sad his untimely passing.  I agree about the casting of Downey Jr., really well-casted! And yeah, even Gwyneth was good in her role too!lol!
