Iron Man

I love science, robotics, anything technical and i enjoyed watching this film. Another comic book hero modernised on the big screen. Robert Downey Jr. is not the first actor i would have thought would be the type to portray a super hero, but it does work well, neither did Jeff Bridges and Gywenth Paltrow seem to be the suitable cast for this type of film.

There is plenty to watch with all the experiments and tests with Iron Man as Tony Stark attempts to perfect the suit that he cobbled together when he was ambushed and threatened to the hi tech missiles for a group of terrorists during his trip to Afghanistan, where he was demonstrating his company's latest weapons.

The story, like all others contain a bad guy, a girl and a hero. There is nothing different with this film, apart from the little unexpected twist at the end.
