I love this resurgence of action flicks...they all seemed to suck in the 90s and early 2000's.

Tobey McGuire and Robert Downey Jr. as action heros instead of Schwarzennegar/Stallone/Van Damme types??? Although, Downey is an inspired choice for Stark. Glad to see he has finally conquered his demons and become a leading man.

With superhero flicks it seems that one of the keys is to focus on casting the best person for the alter ego/secret identity. Once it is time to kick ass as the hero, the special effects take over most of the time. You want someone that can handle all of the acting once it is time to build the character of the Clark Kent/Peter Parker, etc. Would the original Superman been as good if the title role was played by other hit actors of the time...John Travolta...Chuck Norris (no offense intended Mr. Norris)...Richard Gere?

I still say Christopher Reeves performance as Superman/Clark is the best super hero performance ever. He was perfect.

I think Tom Welling is great in Smallville as Clark, he is probably my favorite next to the orig. superman

I loved Christopher Reeves as Superman but I thought Michael Keaton as Batman was better. He was not your classically good looking man like Reeves was and yet he made Batman soooo sexy and cool beyond belief.
