Tony Stark constructs a new iron suit of destruction to use for good!

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2009)

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the Worlds biggest creator of weaponry. He is captured by terrorists after showing the use of his new missiles and somehow escapes his enemy by the invention of a strong metal suit.
If some terrorist were using your weapons for killing people, wouldn't you stop making them for one thing and try and stop them from hurting civilians. Also if you figured out your business partner is going against you for power and to take your spot, you would stop him from becoming to powerful, wouldn't you? When people are greedy they want the power and to be the one everyone answers to instead of vice versa. This movie most likely reminds me of Transformers with Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. With aliens from space, that transform from cars into machines with guns throughout that movie to protect a cube from getting into enemy hands.
Downey Jr. plays the character of Stark so well I don't think they could have picked a better actor for this role. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) is convincing as a redhead and has a romantic tie in the movie to Stark having been by his side as his assistant all his years of his work with Stark Industries. Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) is the bad guy in this film who just wants to be a step above stark as the CEO of Stark industries. This movie should give you a boost in your view of comic movies and have you wanting to see the next best movie with more technology, movies are becoming something different and more spectacular than we could only imagine. Plus also a romance between Potts and Stark comes into play through the movie because she has always been there for him throughout the years to help him with whatever he needs and realizes that she is the only one person he can count on in the end.
Robert Downey Jr. is the son of underground filmmaker Robert Downey Sr.. His first part in a movie was in his father's Pound (1970), in which 5-year-old Downey played a puppy. During traffic stop for speeding, he was arrested for drunken driving, possession of heroin, and possession of an unloaded pistol in his pickup truck. This was his first reported brush with the law at age 31. He was given a suspended prison sentence of 3 years, and granted probation with requirements of random drug testing and drug counseling. Which was just two years before Iron Man came out. It is amazing how he changed his life around which is really someone to look up to I think, because some people can relate to his situation. Before he starred as Iron Man (2008), Downey had done films with three of the actors who played Batman: with George Clooney in Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005); with Val Kilmer in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005); and with Michael Keaton in Game 6 (2005).
Continuing with his acting career Downey Jr. release of Shelock Holmes is only days away coming out on Christmas Day. Along with that he is working on the second film for Iron Man 2 to be released in the earlier months of 2010. His movie Sherlock Holmes I have only seen the preview for about a dozen times throughout watching movies or just on television. For Iron Man 2, it looks like there is to be more villains and more romantic ties with Pott's character played by Paltrow. Terrence Howard having been a fan of the comics of Iron Man plays Colonel Rhodes head of the Weapons Development. Which in part I though he played his character well so when he asked to be in the second Iron Man they didn't give him that approval to continue with his character. The actor to take the part of Colonel Rhodes will be played by Don Cheadle and the villains Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson and Ivan Vanko / Whiplash played by Mickey Rourke which are just some of the main characters to look forward to in the second Iron Man.
