AtomicGamer reviews Iron Man

Jeff Buckland writes:

''Iron Man was a pretty big "if" for Hollywood. Marvel hasn't had the best track of record of comic book-to-movie releases in the last couple of years, with flops like Daredevil and Elektra and a so-so showing for Spider-Man 3. Iron Man could have easily fallen in with the failures, but a slick script that goes far but never too far and some very solid acting by Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges really made the movie. Sure, the CGI was awesome and the action was intense but still watchable, but it's still the characters that gave it the edge over other similar movies we've seen in the last decade. Sure, the Hollywood version of Iron Man has been a huge success, but it's only been a rare occasion that a movie-licensed game that launches at the same time as its Hollywood counterpart is any good. To date, Chronicles of Riddick has probably been the best one, but that may not even count since it was technically a prequel to the movie.''
