Get the lead out and go see Iron Man.

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2008)

Finally a comic book super hero not mucked up by Hollywood through miscasting and/or unfaithful adaption. I only saw the first Spiderman and didn't bother with the others (No way can I see that guy as Peter Parker). The first guy to play Batman was, I believe, also miscast in the role. Still, with all the cool gadgetry, atmosphere, and big screen treatment we had never seen before at the time, --he got away with it; and was probably the best of the bunch until "Batman Begins" which was a very good effort. Hands down the "Return of Superman" was the best. Anyway you want to know about Iron Man. Damn good! And I give it 8 stars. I had no complaints about the guy who played the role of Tony Stark and Iron Man and the screen adaption was faithful enough.
Synopsis: Tony Stark is a brilliant self-indulgent playboy with a ready wit and totally clueless of the real world as far as war, politics, and business are concerned. A world he blindly contributes to through the sale of revolutionary weaponry ideas to our military and government. During a fateful trip he is ambushed and kidnapped by eastern radicals who want him to build a weapon system for them. It is then that his eyes begin to open and he starts to question his own values and role in the conflicts around the world through his creation and contribution of weapons. It is at this time that Iron Man is conceived. Crude at first, but later very polished, very cool. Great costume and effects! In short, folks, Iron Man's a winner. And if you haven't already, grab the little ones and run out and see it. Love, Boloxxxi.
