The movie is entertaining and has a Mad Max feel. The story is good with some interesting plot twists. This is not what I would call a "Christian" movie but it is a movie that shows how God preserves his word and how important it is to mankind. Most significantly it shows how He calls people to do and accomplish His will. Scripture is recited, prayer is shown and the "Golden Rule" is what Eli seems to learn from the Bible. This is not a family movie and the R rating is well-earned with lots of gory violence and harsh language. Overall I liked the movie and appreciate the boldness to demonstrate the importance of God's word.
As with any good movie a good story is needed. Iron Man does not disappoint in this area. The story of Tony Stark's change from a life of hedonism to a life of purpose that is focused on helping others supports the excellent special effects. While a little formulaic the movie is very entertaining and action-packed. A couple of scenes with questionable content made me cringe a little but overall the directors kept the movie clean. I am not a Robert Downy Jr. fan but he was the right choice for this role. Jeff Bridges as the villain was a great choice too. The digital presentation is highly recommended. It is like watching a giant HDTV.
