Why Iron Man Is Great And Always Will Be

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2016)

From the opening credits of comic book pages flying past, you know that this will be a good movie. Whether you're a superhero fan or not, you can't help but think the guy coming out to legendary music, is someone worth watching. I find that the most exciting scenes are when Tony invents new ways for him to get the suit on. Something that we always get to look forward too in movies after. This will be so fun to see in "Captain America: Civil War.
Before the attack in this movie, we are introduced to what Tony's life consisted of. We see a man who has an unlimited supply to money, has no strong relationship with another whether it is friendship or from a significant other, except for those that work closely to him. He's someone who is enjoying his young age and wealth as any other bachelor would. He didn't have to worry about being responsible and went to the beat of his own drum. That was all about to change, little did he know, so was the person he was becoming.
In this movie, you won't be able to predict what is to come, and it ends up surprising you. This movie will give you hope for future Marvel movies to come. This was the start of great things coming out of the Marvel comic era. Marvel Cinematic Universe took the right step in starting with Iron Man due to him being an all around big hit that has the right attitude and confidence to pave the way for the movies that came after. Iron Man was the ultimate fantasy fulfilled as we are taken inside his suit while watching him in action. If we take a look at the beginning when he was taken by his captors in Afghanistan is when we truly began to see Tony change. We are able to see this change by how he is willing to help the man who saved him, rather than fending for himself. He was given a second chance at life to be someone other than who he was becoming. He was having fun doing whatever he wanted with the unlimited amount of money to get what he wanted. He decided to become a hero, a change that mankind needed.
Downey's casting as Iron Man, made audiences skeptical: he wasn't in the best place of his career, and people didn't know what they were to expect; but that's also one reason you will enjoy this movie: no one expected such a great performance from Downey due to his questionable past. Downey puts on a stellar performance that causes you to want to see the second and third installments, along with all of the other crossover films in the Marvel franchises. Downey blew audiences away with his character, making them want a fourth film; one that has not yet been confirmed. There is no way that they could ever cast someone else as Iron Man, as they are one in the same. This film set the stage for all Marvel films that came after that were just as successful.
In conclusion, you will know when watching this movie why Tony has his reasons for doing things and why you support them. He had no one after losing both his mother and father at a young age and only progressed into a better human being after becoming Iron Man. He ultimately does things to protect the people around him. The message that is displayed starts from the very beginning, when Tony does not know if he'll live and return home. When he builds the suit, a new man emerged from the cave he was held in. He had decided that he was going to help others and risk his life every day. It's your typical "good vs. evil" kind of movie. He decided to take matters into his own hands and protect people from the evil in the world. His personality had changed; the type of person he was had changed. He found his purpose in life.
