Iron Man
Darren (reads too many comic books, shops for clothes occasionally): There have been lots of Iron Man suits over the years, but the filmmakers opted for the iconic yellow-and-red look.
Connie (doesn't read comic books, often reminds interns that it's time to buy an iron): The use of primary colors is very masculine. Also, it actually looks like armor. The mask is the only thing I have an issue with: the lack of a nose makes it look almost reptilian.
Darren: Fortunately, in every superhero movie, the hero's mask gets knocked off in the final action scene, and Robert Downey Jr. looks great in this costume.
Our grade: A-
