Heavy Metal Hits the Big Screen with Box Office Smash

Since 'Spider-Man' broke box office records in 2002, Marvel Productions has released a steady stream of hits and a few misses - anybody remember 'Daredevil'?  Ugh, what a bloody tragedy that was?  'Iron Man', like the first two installments of our favorite wall-crawler, may have just broke a new mold.

It's not without its plot holes.  Late in the film, the main character - Tony Stark - played by Robert Downey, Jr., is caught unaware in his own home that has more gadgets than the Bat-cave.  It's hard to believe he didn't have the latest security with no less than a 50 yard perimeter detection system installed for such situations.  As a comic book movie, though, there is really nothing to complain about and much to laud.

The action was excellent.  The character development - specifically regarding Tony Stark - was spot on.  The technology, though a bit unbelievable at times, was outstanding.
