Well it’s an unreliable reason, but I’ve never seen a Robert Downey Jr movie that I haven’t liked.
So I go - aah Robert Downey Junior! Should be good, what’s it about? Superhero in a suit. Might be worth a watch. I’ll take my son.
For comparison, when Ben Affleck appeared in some superhero movie a while ago, I went - aah super hero movied. Might be alright. Who’s in it? Ben Affleck. Ho hum.
I still haven’t seen the Afflek movie, son or not.
I just saw “Iron Man.” It’s not action-packed, but it’s engaging and entertaining and it’s got some pretty cool stuff going on. I was never too impressed with any of the recent comic book action hero movies, from Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men or Superman. I definitely enjoyed Iron Man the most. It’s a well-told origin story that paves the way for what I expect will be a more action-oriented sequel in a few years.
I decided to let my son talk me into going after reading this review and thoroughly enjoyed it and I usually hate this kind of stuff. But yes, in addition to Bob, I’m also a fan of RDJ as well as Jeff Bridges, so that helped. I love to ready http://www.jeffbridges.com anyway — he posted some cool behind-the-scenes pics that he took:
Cause the trailer looks really, really cool!
Trailers are meant to look cool; that’s no reason.
I’ll probably see it this weekend and let you know about it on Mud Songs.

Go see it because the trailer featured “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath. NUff said!
