Robert Downey Jr's Biggest Comeback

I hope Robert Downey, Jr. finally becomes the star he should have been.

I can say that IRON MAN was the biggest comeback for Robert Downey Jr. I’ve seen the movie yesterday, and what can I say? It is so impressive.

Seeing him in the big screen again was kind of unusual for me because it’s been along time since he did a major role movie. And it was also surprising to see him in an action movie, knowing that he usually does a romantic love story such as Chances Are ( 1989), Heart and Souls, (1992), Only You (1994) and who would forget that he played the role as Larry Paul as love interest of Calista Flockhart in Ally McBeal TV series in year 2000. But was fired from the show in April of 2001 because of a relapse and then spent another year in a rehab center.

I first noticed him when I was growing up and loved to watch some of his films such as Heart and Souls and Only You. Until one time while watching him, I noticed the very smile he had on his face and it made me want to see him more He’s got this charisma that’s so hard to resist. In films like Less than Zero, Chances Are and even Soapdish, he proved to be an actor that was fearless. He didn’t mind looking idiotic and that gave him a certain grace. Despite whatever problems he had in his private life, he continued to do more movies and show some great performances.

For literally twenty years, people have been predicting that Robert Downey, Jr. would be a huge star. After all, this is a man who has turned in more than a handful of brilliant performances for two decades. Now that he’s in the movie IRON MAN, I just hope the film is worthy enough to have him as its star.

After that, he's got Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder, He will also make a small appearance as Iron Man's Tony Stark in the upcoming film The Incredible Hulk as a part of Marvel Studios' attempt to depict the same Marvel Universe on film and He'll end the year in The Soloist. It seems as if he's got his life back together and now he's out to prove that this is the year of the Downey.
