Yes, I'm finally back, and with a movie review to make all other movie reviews tremble at its very name. Ironman, folks, is a great movie, so stop reading my blog and get out there and see it. What, you're still here? Damn, now I have to review it.Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr. (omg), is a billionaire weapons designer with only profit in mind. While testing his devastating new missile, the Jericho, his crew is assaulted by Afghan terrorists. Taken hostage, he is forced to build another Jericho for the terrorists with the aid of fellow technophile Yinsen (played by Shaun Toub). With Yinsen's help, he instead creates a powerful machine to aid in their escape. After returning to America, Stark turns his company's focus away from weapons (Stark having seen the devastation his weapons caused to his fellow Americans) and towards a secret project of his own...
Overall, I would say that this is one of the best superhero movies I have ever seen. Granted that I haven't seen a great amount of superhero movies, and that Ironman doesn't have any superpowers, but I know a good movie when I see one, and Batman doesn't really have any superpowers either, and he's a superhero.
Final review: If you can suspend your disbelief past the few plot holes and appreciate the movie for its compelling plot, incredible effects and dry humor, you're in for one hell of a ride.

I liked the movie a lot, but I admit that fondness is biased due to having seen it with you. See what you've done now, Jimbo? You've dragged me into this blogging community with your lovely little reviews!
Cheerfully yours,
