I caught the hype and went to see Iron Man this weekend. I enjoyed it. I would recommend it. My caveat would be: 1. it is a superhero movie; 2. see it at a matinee; 3. see it in the theatre, preferably with a lot of other people, because there is something so lovely about the communal response to these things. It's not a movie to watch alone on a small screen. It is a movie to revel in on the big screen with a full audience and a bucket of popcorn. If you can't afford the first-run, see it on Prole Night at the dollar theatre for a ton of fun. Which sounds like a pretty solid three star review to me.
