"I AM IRON MAN!" - Tonny Stark
PostedMay 6, 2008

from Los Angeles, California
The "first" summer movie is usually a 'lead-in' for how strong this summer movie line up will be. If this is ANY indication of how this summer of 2008 will be, I'm going to die of a heart-attack, HAPPILY! WOW!
For any 'action' fan, for all comic 'fan-boys' (& 'girls'), for anyone that likes Robert Downey Jr. (Who COULDN'T have been better cast!), etc... this is a ride to take!
The Ego, the women, the comedy, the cold, the emotional, the brilliant, the vulnerability and the INVINCIBILITY of Tony Stark (AKA: Iron Man) is wonderfully done. Even to the last quote of the movie! Stark (Downey Jr.) can't all but help himself but to boldly, blatantly say... "I AM IRON MAN!"... his EGO wouldn't allow him to do anything else! That is Tony Stark.
All but one of the supporting cast was very strongly cast. Gwyneth Paltrow pulled off the understudy of the loyal, caring and loving (SUPER CUTE) 'Pepper Potts', Tony Starks long time suffering personal assistant. Jeff Bridges played the overlooked, resentful, back-stabbing Obadiah Stane. Tony Stark's fathers long time business partner, who is shoved aside when the young Tony Stark is ready to take over from his dead father. You don't see him as the enemy till it is almost too late. I love Jeff Bridges!
But Terrence Howard as Tony Stark's really only friend, James Rhodes (Rhody) is not as strong as he should be. Terrence is a good actor, but his soft demeanor and soft spoken voice, don't quite do justice to the character.
All in all, have fun! It is a great story, from beginning to end. I can't wait for IRON MAN II... Plenty of hints in the movie, espcially when 'Rhody' looks at the 'Mark 2' Iron Man armor and says "Umm... maybe next time!", Ah, 'War Machine' would be ALIVE!
Nuff Said!
