This film is based off the Marvel comic character Iron Man. Wealthy industrialist Tony Stark is taken by a terrorist organization while campaigning his latest weaponry creation. After his escape, he begins to rediscover his purpose in life and fight off a greater threat than he could've imagined before.
This film was directed by Jon Favreau. This film was the start of the what changed the image of modern superhero films. It also changed the images of the people behind the masks. It also succeeded in bringing Marvel from the dead. This origin story is great to follow. It's updated to fit modern times, so that audiences can better accept it. The story has enough emotion given to the characters to keep it interesting. But, they are still kept in familiar roles. It gives a light to the man whose behind the mask instead of the power from the mask. The effects for the iron man suits are great. It is great to see how they evolve in two different ways. The other effects are great visually to watch even if they are over the top.
The cast worked great together in this origin film. Robert Downey Jr played the role of Tony Stark. He was great in his role. He gave new breath to the superhero archetype. Terrence Howard played the role of Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes. He was great in his limited role. Gwyneth Paltrow played the role of Pepper Potts. She was great in her limited role of the girlfriend. Jeff Bridges played the role of Obadiah Stane. He was great opposing Downey through the film. Shaun Toub played the role of Ho Yinsen. He was great in his small role.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great origin superhero story. This film paved the way for several other modern films.
