This is the first movie I've seen in a theater in a long time. I went because I noticed multiple friends praising it in their internet statuses. I don't even remember this ever happening before.
Anyway, I didn't really have any idea what Iron Man was about except that it was an action movie, and had at least one fancy explosion in it. (I'm becoming ever more convinced that having no expectations about a movie going in is a great boon.) My intel turned out to be correct - it was an action movie, and a very good one. There was relatively little corniness and a fair amount of awesomeness. The best part by far, though, was the humor. There were a ton of hilarious lines, and Robert Downey, Jr.'s main character was amazing. (Actually, I would call the action scenes the worst part of the movie. The rest was just so good.) Overall, this was a fantastic movie, and if you have any kind of tolerance for action movies it's well worth seeing. Thanks to the people who (somewhat inadvertantly) got me to see it!
