Iron Man

Robert Downey Jr. is awesome. I could watch him wisecrack endlessly. That certainly was the best part of Iron Man since the heavy suit doesn't allow for a lot of personality. At least the film kept cutting to his reactions inside the suit - Spider Man would have been a lot better if they had done that for Willem Defoe. Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard were all fine but it bears note that they are all upstaged by Iron Man's trusty robotic arm and voice assistants.

I got very excited early in the film when I thought one character said his name was Jensen (pronounced the Danish way "yen-sen"). However, according to the credits, his name was Yinsen. Oh well.
