Iron Man
WOW - Wayne
This is THE best comic-turned-film ever made. The action in it is amazing. admittedly, the end is a tad cheesey (the whole stronger version on Iron Man being his friend) but the music really gave the essence of the movie, the action is amazing, really gets your adrenaline pumping and of course, at the end, that unmistakable guiatr riff we were all waiting to here
