Plot Summary

Review
What an enjoyable
movie! It practically has everything you want from a superhero movie. Awesome effects,
a great cast and a good script as well. Even though I have never been a fan of the comics, (in fact i hate Ironman),watching the movie was fun. Jon Favreau did a good job as an actor turned director. Even though he has done shit films recently, this is definitely his big break and I hope to see him do the sequel as well.
The casting was great. Robert Downey Jr is Tony Stark(only shorter) and he does it so effortlessly. This is RDJ first big budgeted movie and he has chosen well. I have always been a fan of RDJ, the last movie I watched from him was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which has a fucking funny script. By the wayeven Gwyneth Paltrow did a good job as Pepper Potts. Hopefully for the sequel I would like to see Terence Howard don the Warmachine.
All in all this movie is a treat for everyone. Definitely worth watching on a weekend.Bring a friend.

Take note - Tony Stark will appear in the new HULK movie as well.

Best Quote
Jim Rhodes: You're not a soldier.
Tony Stark: Damn right I'm not. I'm an army.
Jim Rhodes: [whispering] Just stick to the cards sir.
Tony Stark: [holds up his notes and pauses, then puts them down] I'm Iron Man.

Recommended movies by the director
Nothing much. He did Zathura and Elf, but they were shit films.
