Film Review - Iron Man (2008)

Iron Man, based off the successful Marvel comic, stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, who finds himself captured while demonstrating his latest weapon, but the experience opens his eyes and now he vows to protect those he put in danger.


You know, I actually really liked this film and its disappointing that the other summer movies so far this year haven’t been as good, Downey Jr. is just fantastic as Stark as was Gwyneth Paltrow as his loyal assistant Pepper Potts, the special effects work done by the late great Stan Winston was wonderful and is the crowning achievement of an amazing legacy that was sadly cut short.


But all in all, this film deserves 3 and a half out of 5, as it’s worth seeing.

Couldn't agree more! Can't wait for a second instalment of this franchise after the kind of backwards cliffhanger at the end.
