Iron Man

I differ from my friends on certain superhero movies. For example, I found Daredevil much better than the original Spiderman, which I thought was really really bad (and Spiderman 3 was not so super either).

As far as I'm concerned, the best superhero movies have been Spiderman 2, X-Men 2, and Batman Begins. I'm not sure which order those three are in, but I'd probably put Iron Man at a solid 4th on that list. It avoids the pitfalls of an "origins" story, Robert Downey Jr. is danged good, and it's very fun. It's climactic scene is a little weak, but that's ok, because it's final moments are perfectly pitched.

I recommend the movie if you like summer blockbusters. It's one of the good ones.
