iron man

it definitely helps a superhero movie to have real actors who can actually act for the filler character stuff (Robert Downey, Jr,. Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges - I'm not sure Gwyneth Paltrow belongs on this list). but this is still a war/comic book movie with Middle Eastern terrorists who prove to be both evil and disposable - was that really necessary? and it kind of turns into Transformers near the end. but for what it is, it's pretty good.
