Iron man tells the story of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), owner of a multimillion dollar weapons company that is used to annihilate the world. Tony loves his company that his father built and enjoys reaping the benefits in daily life, however when Tony is thrust into the lives of the people being affected by these weapons of mass destruction he realizes the damage that his company has caused to civilians. Upon returning home, Tony turns a new leaf and decides to change the direction of the company, however this is easier said that done seeing as how the board of directors and his best friend/business partner, Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) is not very keen on the idea of losing millions of dollars. In order to save the fate of the world, Tony finds a very creative way to end the destruction.
Throughout the film, the cast does and amazing job and keeps the audience laughing and entertained. Robert Downey Jr. gives a hilarious performance as Tony Stark and really fits the part well. Also, Gwyneth Paltrow really 'wows' the viewers with her casual elegance in the film. Hopefully in the future one will see more work from Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow because their chemistry is undeniable. The real life analogies of the middle eastern war and life in the U.S. are interspersed throughout the movie very nicely as well and really give the film a deeper meaning. Although the film is highly entertaining, the plot line doesn't seem completely plausible and can at times 'lose' the viewer due to difficult technical terminology. It's definitely a movie worth seeing twice, or three times, or more. Overall the movie is somewhat predictable, but very enjoyable and entertaining.
Too much of this review is summarizing the film (almost 50% of the review). 75 to 80% of the review should be your opinion leaving 20 to 25% summary. There needs to be more of your opinion.
