10 Things I love about Iron Man
1) Robert Downey Jr. Acerbic, witty, damaged and so hot in a tank top sweating under the workshop lights. Ahem.
2) The Tech. I am so not a tech guy but the tech is so awesome, I feel like I'm 7 again playing with my robots.
3) Good use of characters. Every character was utilized properly. Hot damn, that foxy female reporter in the beginning? Not a disposable character but someone who appears again and is of use to the plot.
4) "Everybody sit down"... ha ha... fantastic news conference.
5) Pepper Potts. Ooh, the unrequited love just... oooh, I haven't felt this much for a Gwenyth Paltrow character since Estella in Great Expectations.
6) Jon Favreau. The man knocked it out of the ballpark. Where a lot of directors talk about characters and how important it is... this guy actually directed the actors and respected the characters.
7) Marvel Studios. No longer another film studio handling a Marvel property. Marvel Studios protecting and creating their own franchises and characters.
8) The way Iron Man holds his hands out to the side like a little girl for lift off. A small detail but so, so funny, so fitting and all the more fun.
9) "Welcome to a bigger universe." I got chills.
10) "I am Iron Man."
