Iron Man (2008)
#17 on my Top 100 List
Oh Robert Downey Jr., why have you been hiding those biceps all this time? Iron Man marks the culmination of one of the best and most explosive comebacks in recent show biz history. RDJ plays billionaire playboy-turned-superhero Tony Stark as someone who you really shouldn't like but you do anyway. There are lots of explosions and superpower visual effects as per usual in this genre, but there are certain character flaws in Tony that make it clear this is no kid's movie. His propensity for sleeping with women then having his assistant kick them out the next morning, for instance. Robert Downey Jr. can pick up a hammer any time he wants to, in my book. Can't wait till the sequel hits theaters in 2010.
My Netflix rating: 5 stars
