Review: Iron Man, Heroes arent born, They are build.

Iron Man is one of the best superhero movies of all time. And it is my favourite Avenger set-up movie. It is packed with action, a great story and Robert Downey Jr. Probably the biggest douche and also the most awesome guy in this movie.

I have to say I have never read the comics (since American comics are hard to get here). But I try to explain the plot as good as possible. Iron Man is about mega billionair, weapon designer, genious and playboy Tony Stark ( played by Robert Downey Jr.).
Tony Stark gets kidnapped and has to work for terrorists to design a missle. During his kidnapping he is damaged by a missle and he needs a electromagnet to make sure the pieces of the missle don't reach his heart. He modyfies the magnet to build a iron suit that allows him to escape from the terrorists. When he gets back home he redesigns the suit and decides to shut down his weapon factory. He becomes a superhero and sets out to destroy all his weapons that the terrorists use. The plot unfolds, and gets the more awesome/confusing!

Lets get this out of the way. The action in Iron Man is top notch! It's like a Micheal Bay movie without Micheal Bay! You wouldn't ask for more! And this is on of those rare cases where the action complements the story! And then there is Robert Downey Jr in what i think one of his best rolls ever! He is a douchebag and a player, but at the same time a genious and a super hero. I can never see another Iron Man ever again. Robert set the bar and nobody can Play this role better than him! And then there's his assistant Pepper Pots played by Gwyneth Paltrow ( seriously, who names his/her doughter like this? Imagine how it long it took for her to learn how to write her own name?!) she does a fantastic job as portraiting the assistant and also helping and controlling Tony Stark.

But I do have some problems with this movie. The plot is sometimes unclear to follow and at one point some agents help Pepper but you don't really know why, except they are from S.H.I.E.L.D. Now I don't know anything about the organisations of the Avengers so I really didn't understand it. But if you could explain it to me, I would really appreciate it! The second thing is that it all wraps up a little to fast. I thought the order was good but it just skipped to the conclusion. But overall this is a great film and maybe one of the better superhero movies.

Iron Man gets Wreviews stamp of awesome! Go see this movie!

Thanks for reading the review! This weekend I will watch the Hulk ( for the first time!) and then work my way up till I have reviewed all the avengers set-up movies! Have a great day!

Laters!
