    AmP Movie Review: Iron Man

    Iron Man is currently the most popular movie in America, and opened to rave reviews. Even Rotten Tomatoes (my go-to source for movies) gives it an unheard-of 93% rating.

    With all the hype, I decided it was worth my time.

    I loved it. It's probably one of the best (if not the best) adaptations of a comic book hero to the big screen. Not only does it provide the necessary explosions, gadgetry and comedic-interludes, but in many ways it transcends these normal showy accessories through the brilliant (awesome!) performance of Robert Downey Jr.

    The "messages" of the movie are not particularly subtle, but they are very pertinent to and very needed in our modern age. Plus they are artistically integrated into the lives and decisions of the characters.

    I would recommend seeing it, if you can afford the prohibitive theater fees. There is one brief scene of some rather passionate intimacy, so parents might want to screen it for their younger kids first.

    AmP Rating: 8/10.
