Roller-coaster Ride...Must watch it...

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2009)

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a billionaire engineering prodigy who expertise designing and selling weapons all over the world. When he goes to Afghanistan to demonstrate the capabilities of his latest missile, a local militant kidnaps him, puts him in a cave under surveillance and asks him to prepare the missile for him. He takes the avatar of iron man to escape from the cave. The rest of the story is all about how he reforms himself and comes out with a sophisticated design of iron man.
Iron Man is an adaptation of a Marvel comic which will be liked by both adults and kids. This film is engrossing, entertaining and convincing. The action sequences are pretty impressive (except for the climax fight). The graphics in the film are well done without dominating the scenes. The climax fight is a disappointment.
TAILPIECE: The difference between other comic heroes and Iron Man is that Iron Man is a playboy.
