Iron Man




Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark, a billionaire weapons creator who is as rich as Bruce Wayne and has more intelligence than Peter Parker. Stark is kidnapped and mortally wounded on a trip through Afghanistan. His only escape is constructing a metal suit to fight his way out.
After escaping Starks devotes his life to fighting the very people who use his weapons for evil. He uses the prototype metal man suit he made to engineer a sleeker version, giving us Iron Man.
Robert Downey Jr gives us one of the better super hero performances. It's easy to hold a moviegoers attention in the Iron Man suit. The special effects, gadgets, and eye-popping special effects, can sell themselves. The scenes where he's not wearing the suit is where we need to see the actor shine. Downey does a masterful job with his witty performance as Tony Stark. He's so believable as a billionaire/playboy/egomaniac that I'm not even sure if he's acting.

Even though it took 75% of the movie for the actual suit to be developed, the movie is well worth the watch. Dont forget to stay after the credits for a look at the sequal!
