The saving grace for Iron Man is the splendid cast of actors that brings out Tony Start’s world of great imagination. The timing was just right to bring out the character.  With CGI and better stories, Marvel can now tap into the movie industry with ease. I cannot see them making these movies 5 years ago. Marvel heroes were always more outlandish and darker. Iron Man is a hero for the times. Suspend your disbelief and nuke the popcorn for a thrill of a ride. All the right elements come to place in this movie.
