Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff
Bridges, and Terrence Howard
Tony
Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) is the CEO of a weapons
manufacturer who has everything anybody could ever want - fame, fortune,
and lots of fun. During a weapons demonstration, he is captured
and nearly killed by a group of Afghan terrorists. The terrorists give
him the tools to build a deadly missile, but Tony builds an even
deadlier
weapon, the Iron Man suit. With this full body weapons suit, he
unleashes
hell on the terrorists and narrowly escapes with his life. He then
introduces the world to the Iron Man suit.
Jon Favreau's Iron Man is a
praiseworthy addition to the comic book movie genre. It's sleek, full of
big laughs, and downright fun. It also has lots of cool machinery.
Robert Downey, Jr. was born to be Tony Stark. He was perfectly cast
for this role. Jeff Bridges is also highly entertaining as the villain in
this flick. Iron Man is a good
flick, but a few light drinks can definitely enhance your movie watching
experience here.
