Plus points:

1. Robert downey jr’s superb acting skills
2. Gwyneth paltrow aptly suits the role of his secretary.
3. Special effects

Minus points:

Film appears a little draggy at some scenes.

Must watch scenes:

1. The scene in which the iron man saves the village people in afganistan.
2. The lab experiments scenes in which he builds the advanced version of the suit.
3. The scene in which he destroys an armed tanker and walks away (fantastic scene).
4. The F-22 chasing scenes are also pretty good to watch.

5. the presentation of the jericho misslie in afganistan.

Final words : Ironman is the best release so far this year and don’t miss it.
