Plot:
When his father passes, long lost son Tony Starks steps in to take over the business of Stark Enterprise, the largest weapons supplier in the world. Ultra rich and stylishly charming, the chic playboy is kidnapped while in the Middle East to perform a demonstration of his company's latest weapon. On the brink of death, he is saved when a kidnapped scientist rigs a power boosted magnet to his heart that will keep him alive. Forced by the terrorist to make another weapon, instead Starks makes a suit of iron which enables him to escape. Back in the states, after seeing first hand the impact his weapons has on the world, he decides to no longer make them and instead designs a hi-tech armored suit so that he may be a defender against evil.
Reel Talk:
This is the blockbuster kick off movie of 2008! It packs tons of action and for someone who has traveled a rocky road, this role seemed like it was ironed out for Robert Downey Jr. He brought a certain charm and passion that truly defined Starks' character. This is not to mention a good supporting cast with Bridges, Howard and Paltrow. Although Jon Favreau's resume as a director is not that long, this is by far his best work. Die hard comic book readers and action junkies will really enjoy this movie. No disappointments here.
