Iron Man
Tony Stark is the complete playboy who also happens to be an engineering genius. While in Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile he's captured and wounded. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them but instead he creates an armored suit and a means to prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He uses the armored suit to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research.
Iron Man trailer
Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?
The movie blew me away! A good 2 hours but you would still think why so quick to end? I have only seen Robert Downey Jr once before. It's in Zodiac in which he played a journalist. I read things about him and knew that he had quite a history including cocaine abuse. But he got over it and now looking so handsome and cool! I have never read the original Iron Man comic but read it in a lot of critics that the movie was an original. Special effects in the movie make you speechless. A pleasure to look at.
