I am Iron Man...

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2008)

WOW!!!!!! What a film, seriously, this is one of the best superhero/comic book films of all time. I wasn't a big fan of Robert Downey Jr., but now that I've seen this really good entertainment, I feel like I'm his agent. Here is the plot summary: Weapons designer Tony Stark is in Afghanistan to introduce his newly created missile design, "The Jericho", to the United States Air Force when the unit he is traveling with is attacked by a terrorist group called the Ten Rings. Stark is then taken hostage after he is injured by a piece of shrapnel embedded near his heart. He is ordered by his captors to assemble a weapon for them and is given access to a workshop. With the aid of a fellow captive Yinsen, he puts his creativity to use instead by assembling a bulletproof suit of power armor, complete with pacemaker and flamethrowers, and uses it to free himself.
Back in the United States, Stark begins to reject his own company's sale of munitions to the Middle East seeing his weapons end up in the hands of terrorists and murderers. He publicly denounces the weapons industry in general as being one completely lacking in accountability, causing Stark Enterprises' stock to drop drastically. Seeking to stop this, his business partner, Obadiah Stane, seeks to remove Tony Stark as CEO of the company in order to avoid further losses. In the meantime, Stark develops an advanced model of the flying suit he built while in captivity, complete with advanced weapon and flying capabilities. At the same time, Stane steals plans for Stark's first suit of armour and builds his own version with the intent of killing Stark. Stark eventually faces off against the villainous Obadiah Stane, defeating him with the help of Jim Rhodes and Pepper Potts.
After the film's closing credits, Tony Stark returns home to find Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), director of S.H.I.E.L.D., waiting in his Malibu house, asking him if he knows about the "Avengers initiative".
Tony was awesome, you'll get to laugh every 5 minutes or something. I expected more than action than drama, but that how Iron Man is (you have to see how he creates his armour and stuff). Seriously this could be the best blockbuster of the summer. Go out see this film.
Tony Stark: Yeah, I can fly.
I give Iron Man a 9.8/10.
