IRONMAN - A Marvel movie

IRONMAN THE MOVIE; has sequal written all over it

THE PLOT:
Tony Shark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the a playboy and engineering genius. While on a business trip to Afghanistan to demonstrate a new missile to the US military he's captured and wounded. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them, but instead he creates an armored suit to escape with. Back in the US he announces that his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane (Jeff bridges), his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the baddies. He uses his new IRONMAN suit to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research.

REVIEW:
Even though I'm a bit of a sci-fi addict I wasn't sure what to expect form IRONMAN. Sometimes comic book heros aren't always done that well by the time studies have hacked the them around, but I shouldn't have worried, IRONMAN was an absolutely masterpiece.

The action was an adrenaline ride, but kept a sense of realism. What really blew me away was the amazing special effects and CGI which all gelled together perfectly.

Robert Downey Jr. delivered the goods with a wonderful balance of intelligence and humor, and it's been quite a while since I've seen him this on form.

This is without doubt one of my top films, almost equaling The Dark Knight for watchability and entertainment.

I look forward to IRONMAN II, as this film has sequal written all over it.
