Plot |
Tony Stark, a millionaire genius that runs a state-of-the-art weapons company, is captured by the enemy and slowly transforms himself into Iron Man. Once he sees the errors in his ways of pandering weapons with no regard for their use, he tries to mend them as Iron Man; but not everybody agrees that this is a good idea.

Pros |
Robert Downey Jr., period end of subject. If anyone else plaid Tony Stark, the movie wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining. He plays the egocentric, womanizing, sarcastic, arrogant genius part perfectly; in other words the guy that all other guys wished they were. Jeff Bridges does a good job as his second-hand man at his company as well as Paltrow as his personal assistant/wanna-be girlfriend. |
Cons |
PG-13. Couldn't they at least do an R version for the DVD release; we're not all kids out here. Sex and violence is much more realistic when they have nudity and blood/gore respectively. I believe the ending fight scene could have been better if they weren't targeting such a young audience; the ending wasn’t as grandiose as it should have been. |

Recommendation |
This is a very fun comic book movie with tons of extras; it's just too bad they had to shoot so low when it came to their minimum-aged target audience. Having said that, I can't wait for the sequel and highly recommend this Blu-Ray disc for everyone that has a player! |
