MarvelousOne of the BestStark's Snark, Wonderful Action, a Winner

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2015)

Marvel Studios Never Looked Back after this Tremendous Artistic and Commercial Success. It's Probably No Surprise that the Comic Book Company Knew just what to do with Their Own Creations. Although, Nothing in the Movie Universe is a Certain Thing, the Studio certainly Worked Wonders with this, one of Their Second String Characters.
The Casting is Brilliant with Robert Downey Jr's. Perfect Embodiment of Tony Stark, and Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, and the Rest Contributing to the Fun. The Director, Jon Favreau, was a Risk. Hardly Known for Big-Budget Action Movies, He Captures the Spirit of the Comics and turned in an absolutely Brilliant Film from Top to Bottom.
Fans of the Silver-Age Comics will No Doubt be Impressed. When Iron Man First Appeared in "Tales of Suspense" #39, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were in the Embryonic Stages of Reinventing Comics and the Marvel Super Hero Line was being Tested and no one At the Time (except maybe the Fans) had a Clue what They were Witnessing.
In the Origin of Iron Man and for a while, the Character was this Hulky, Bulky, Tank-Like Hero, in a Clunky Iron Suit. Not the Sleek Hot Rod Red Iron Man to Come Later.
In the Film, this Likeness can be Seen in the Opening where Tony Stark Creates the Character "in a cave with a box of scraps". This is a Spot-On Recreation from the Comics Origin Issues and it is a Great Insider's Inspiration and a Fine Tribute to the Movie's Paper Origins.
This is just one of the Charms about Iron Man, The Movie. The Thing is Full of Wonder and Wit. A Great Comic Book Movie. One of the Best. Nuff Said.
Note...Thanks Jack Kirby wherever you are. Thanks so much for your Art and your ability to bring so much joy to the world. You are the best and truly "The King of Comics".
