The racist marvel action hero.

Rating: 4/10 (23 May 2008)

In the first 20 minutes of the film, I was already beginning to wonder why I had purchased tickets. The main character was a terrible human being. A Womanizing, spoilt playboy who manufactures weapons of mass destruction. What a hero? There are no real likable characters in the entire film. The storyline is dragged out and uneventful. The action barely worth the film roll it's printed on. There is a naively racist vibe running throughout. With the 'hero' only realizing making weapons may be a bad idea, once he witnesses Americians dying by his creations. As if the countless innocents of less fortunate countries being murdered beforehand weren't worth his thought.
It was like watching old cartoons that are so racist, they don't even know it. The film was mildly entertaining, however the characters all being terrible people took away from the fun of Iron Man. There weren't enough scenes of Iron Man doing great deeds, to classify him as a hero. His actions seemed selfishly motivated, and egotistical.
The only stand out in the film was the suit.
