Six out of Six gems on the Infinity Scale. If this movie was any better I’d have to hunt down the mysterious 7th gem, Ego to make it 7 out of 7)

Marvel has done it again. And even better this time. I’ll admit I’m not as up on the minutia of the Iron Man mythos as I am on X-Men and Avengers, but I know more than enough to say that the writers and director have gone out of their way to make the fanboys happy.

I loved the X-Men and the Fantastic Four movies, but had problems with them taking out essential parts of the story (Shiar, Hellfire Club, Phoenix as the Black Queen, a billion Asparagus people biting the dust, and Galactus as a cosmic cloud? C’Mon!

I had none of those problems with Iron Man (but if you are an Iron Man freak and saw a billion discrepancies I want to hear them all!). I was completely entranced as it unfolded before my eyes and kicked with glee more than once at especially cool geektastic moments. Gwyneth was perfect as Pepper. I give it my highest rating.

THERE IS A DENUMONT AFTER THE CREDITS!!!!!!! Do not leave until after the last credits roll!!!!! I mean it!
