"Iron Man" Cast Impressive

I've never read the comic book "Iron Man," but the film version helmed by Jon Favreau certainly has an impressive cast. The lead is Robert Downey Jr, with Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard and Gwyneth Paltrow in supporting roles. Ever since "Superman" attracted Gene Hackman, comic book movies often get stuffed with terrific actors. I guess a big paycheck and a summer blockbuster is a nice way to slum. "Iron Man" will be released on my birthday, May 2, 2008.
