Iron Man!!!!

This Film Rocks... So does the big hunk o' metal Tony Stark...

Although the comic-book character Iron-Man wasn't as successful as Spidey, Fantastic Four or X-Men, this movie should boost Iron Man's popularity... Iron Man should be given lots of credit as he's the one who

1. Destroyed Dr Doom. Something the Fantasric Four can't do
2. Led the Avengers in the Marvel Civil War
3. Who could forget, defeated Captain America

The film had the same board of directors as Transformers just different director and producers... The All-Star special effects crew from George Lucas owned ILM lead by Terminator and Jurassic Park's special effects specialist Stan Winston... Yeah, Stan Winston is the man who created the Terminator's endoskeleton, the Wookiee costume, the Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus etc and all the other dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park trilogy... Transformers had cool special effects but Iron Man just edged through with better special effects...

Besides special effects, this film has a cool storyline and script uunlike the boring Hulk by gay cowboy's director Ang Lee... The director of Iron Man wasn't very famous, I was shocked to read that he's the director of the hilarious Elf starring Will Ferrell but Jon Favreau(director) pulled of Iron Man quite well
Guess what, I enjoyed this masterpiece in a cinema...

The film starts with billionaire, playboy and alcoholic weapon designer Tony Stark, not Tony TTT giving a demo of his Jericho missiles in Afghanistan. Stark was captured by The 10 Rings, one of the branches of Al-Qaeda who forced him to build for them a Jericho Missile... Then there's a flashback revealing Tony wasn't aware his partner Obie Stane is selling weapons created by Stark to the 10 Rings. Back to the story, Tony has a magnet in his chest to stop pieces of metal from piercing his heart... He and Dr. Yinsen, a scientist work on a prototype of the Iron Man suit and fooling the Al-Qaeda militants. After finishing the suit, Stark has to initiate the process of putting on the armor via computer but angry Al-Qaeda soldiers are already near them, to buy time for Stark, Yinsen distracts the soldiers at the cost of his life as Stark programs the suit... Finding Yinsen dead, Stark gets red and kills every single soldier and destroying the weapons stockpile and escaped, after barely 30 seconds in the sky, Stark's costume runs out of battery and crashes... Stark leaves the scrap metal and is airlifted to the USA... Knowing his weapons are in the wrong hands, Stark states his company will no longer manufacture weapons but this move has been blocked by the board of directors...

Stark then lived his life out of the spotlight and secretly builds the new Iron Man suit... The 100% gold coloured prototype is successful but Stark builds another one just because he want's a little bit of red in it... He then finds out the remaining 10 Rings soldiers are using his weapons to kill refugees... Iron Man then flies into action and kills every soldier but leaves the leader for the refugees to handle... Iron Man assumes his job is done and flies into the sky but a tank shoots him down... The tank fires again but he slumber'ly dodges it and fires a tiny missile from his wrist, the missle only tembus the tank and Iron Man walks away and the tank explodes. At this scene many people in the cinema clapped and cheered...

Stark returns and ask his assistant and girlfriend to find edvidence that his partner is doing dirty buissness... She finds out Obie Stane is working on his own Iron Man suit and christens it THE IRON MONGER... He steals Stark's Iron Man battery and leaves him for dead as the battery is also the magnet implanted on his chest to stop the pieces for metal from piercing his heart... Stark asks his friend Colonel Rhodes aka the WAR MACHINE to keep the air clear as he flies... Rhodes stares at the unpainted Iron Man suit but mutters "NEXT TIME BABY"... I was frustrated he didn't wear the suit as War Machine but it's confirmed he will appear as War Machine in Iron Man 2... Patience dude...

Stark battles Iron Monger who is actually Obie Stane inside... Iron Man is weakened because he "low battery" already but his girlfriend activates a reactor to destroy Iron Monger and Stane inside it... Stark is near death as he runs out of energy... He is later revived and the battery stolen by Stane is implanted back into his chest... He holds a press conference to state that Iron Man is his body guard... He changes the script and says "I AM IRON MAN" and Black Sabbath's infamous guitar riff plays along.... Credits roll

This film is a must watch for everyone... I really enjoyed this show... 5 stars!!!!!
