IRON MAN: THE REVIEW


Iron Man, another one in a long list of marvel comics to be made into a movie. An impressive cast in terms of pedigree with Robert Downey Jr in the lead, Gwyneth Paltrow as his leading lady and Jeff Bridges as the bad guy.

The plot of Iron Man revolves around Tony Stark( Robert) a wealthy know it all CEO of a weapons production company for the US military. Who gets kidnapped by terrorists, on his way back from a weapons demonstration in Afghanistan.

He then builds a suit of amour and gadgets to escape from captivity. Once back on US soil he decides to improve the suit( suit is red and gold in color) and with help of his trusted aide Jim Rhodes played by Terrence Howard. Also helped on the way by the beautiful Pepper Potts played by Gwyneth Platrow.

Now that all the introduction is done, Lets get down to what makes the movie tick?? Robert Downey Jr carries the movie all own his own. He excels as the cocky millionaire know it all but some how seems like a fish out of water during the scenes of moral enlightenment.

The movie has its fair share neat graphics and usual carnage associated with super hero flicks.
Personally I think it is a good time pass flick. I am just thankful that it was not as screwed up as Daredevil.

I would give it a 7 out 10.

So I would say if you are bored go watch Iron Man.
