Saw it last night....

This movie is absolutely awesome. It's a tad weak on story, but it more then makes up for it with the directing and acting. Jon Faverau might very well become one of my favorite directors!

If you're on the fence about Iron Man, go see it. I didn't really care too much about it as I basically ignored Iron Man growing up. But now... damn, it was a good movie.

And yes, it's safe to bring kids to. Only one scene in which a girl is nearly naked, but her bits are covered. And really, if you're hesitant about nudity but completely fine with showing a kid a movie where people get shot, beat up and blown up...

No swearing that I can recall.

Whether or not it can hold a kids interest though. That's a tough one actually. The first part of the movie requires the audience to understand the concept of terrorists in order to properly get what is happening. After about 30 min, it will completely occupy anyone's attention though.

Let's hope Robert Downey Jr stays out of rehab so they can make a sequel.
