Iron Man is Alive

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2014)

Iron Man is a good start for new fanbase and existing fans, it tells a little history on how he eventually took the responsibility to become Iron Man. Barely alive and escaping from terrorist group is not one could think about it, what's more building an armor suit to fly from the terrorist hideout and to be saved once more.
In Marvel Comics, Tony Stark was also saved by Dr. Yinsen but set during the Vietnam War instead in Afghanistan (prior to Afghan war-torn).
There are many changes in comparison with the comics and movie. Movie tries to make things as interesting as possible for the new and unknown audience.
Comic geeks like myself would have to conclude that this is the Iron Man we all knew but in the different era and technology.
But I'm pretty much amazed how Favreau managed to make the suit alive.
