"Iron Man" Scores With Critics
April 30, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
The long-awaited Iron Man hits theaters this Friday, May 2, 2008. It’s already played in some parts of the country, and early reviews are good (except for The New Yorker, which always has a bug up its you-know-what about everything - Did I just say that? Yes, I did).
Anyway, on Metacritic.com, the movie scored 81 out of 100 (critics) and 8.4 out of 10 (user comments), so that’s pretty good so far.
More after the jump, including a trailer…
The movie stars Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who’s kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Ah, but he’s got some brains and manages to escape after building a high-tech suit of armor. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons the powerful armor and vows to protect the world as… Iron Man.
Directed by Jon Favreau, this movie also stars Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leslie Bibb, and Shaun Toub. It’s rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content.
