Billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist? All this and more sums up Tony Stark. After a weapons presentation in Iraq, Stark gets himself captured which also results in him having a chest filled with shrapnel. Needing to escape, he miniaturizes it and dons a suit of armor. This results in the birth of the Armored Avenger Iron Man. Once returned safely, Stark works to perfect his design and uses it to protect all mankind. This activity catches the eye of a mysterious organization known as SHIELD. On the other hand, the chairman of Stark Industries discovers this and has plans of his own for Tony's work. After being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil. I loved this movie I had high hopes for this movie and I must say that they went way past what I thought was possible. This movie was awesome. This was the best movie that I have seen in a long time. Robert Downey Jr does a great job at playing Tony Stark. I loved the action, It was funny at all the right times, and the graphics where just awesome (love CGI), the movie moves smoothly there are no boring parts that you are waiting for something to happen. I won't get into any more detail because I don't Want to spoil it for anyone but I must say this is a must watch. I can't wait to see it again. I also can't wait to see the sequel. Basically this movie features all of the right ingredients needed to create a good superhero movie with. It has plenty of big and loud action, comedy, an evil villain, a love interest and of course a superhero in shiny armor. But "Iron Man" is actually somewhat more than just another big budget Hollywood action superhero movie. "Iron Man" tries it with a more down to Earth approach and tries to place things in perspective, instead of rather just letting things blow up. It's basically perfect entertainment to watch but also with some more layers to it, without ever getting dull or overdone.<br/><br/>Perhaps one of the most surprising things about the movie is its cast. Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow all play roles you normally wouldn't expect to see them in. Robert Downey Jr. is definitely back again after his years of drug abuse and life in jail. His life so far perhaps even itself is already good enough to fill one feature length movie with. He isn't the type of actor for the main title role you think about when casting a superhero movie but he perfectly suits his role, with his dry sense of humor and acting skills. He's a tough, cold hearted, womanizer but yet due to Downey Jr.'s performance you care about his character. It's also great that Jeff Bridges plays the bald main villain of the movie. I'll bet he himself never expected ever to play a role such as this in a superhero movie.<br/><br/>But no of course "Iron Man" isn't a very 'deep' movie and luckily foremost the movie still is an highly entertaining one, that is made very entertaining by Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as well as the movie its action.<br/><br/>Iron Man perhaps isn't the best known comic book superhero but he's a real awesome one. He doesn't necessarily has 'superpowers' but simply is a man who happens to own billions of dollars and lots of industrial and weaponry knowhow. With this he knows to create a super-suite, that helps him to fly and has a kinds of other gadget build into it. It practically makes him indestructible to most dangers and enemies but luckily for us not all, or else it of course would had been a very boring superhero movie to watch.<br/><br/>The movie features lots of action in it, that perhaps is not the most spectacular you've ever seen but it nevertheless is great looking, which mainly is thanks to its special effects. I seriously can't tell halve of the what's real and what is CGI in this movie. What also really adds to the movie its action is its sound. The movie has some real excellent sound and I sense an Oscar nomination coming up for it, as well as for it's special effects I would expect, perhaps also for the reason that this was special effects legend Stan Winston's last fully completed movie before his death earlier this year. <br/><br/>It's not a movie that offers a lot of surprises but it features all of the right required ingredients and has something extra added to it as well. It makes "Iron Man" a real effective and entertaining, good looking, well made, modern superhero movie.<br/><br/>8/10<br/><br/>http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/ [Downey] can make offhandedness mesmerizing, even soulful; he passes through the key moments in this cloddish story as if he were ad-libbing his inner life. When wealthy industrialist Tony Stark (<a href="/name/nm0000375/">Robert Downey Jr.</a>) suffers a chestful of shrapnel after his Humvee is bombed by enemy fire in Afghanistan where he has gone to give a presentation of the new Jericho missile that Stark Industries has developed, his life is saved only by an electromagnet attached to a car battery that serves to keep the shrapnel from piercing his heart. Tony escapes from his captors by creating an arc reactor that eliminates the need for the battery and an iron suit that protects him from attack. Back in the U.S., he announces that his company will cease making weapons, and he begins work on an updated armored suit, all to the chagrin of his partner Obadiah Stane (<a href="/name/nm0000313/">Jeff Bridges</a>). Iron Man is based on a comic book of the same name created by Marvel Comics editor Stan Lee and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Iron Man first appeared in issue #39 of Tales of Suspense (March 1963). The screenplay for the film was written by Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway. Iron Man was followed by <a href="/title/tt1228705/">Iron Man 2 (2010)</a> (2010) and <a href="/title/tt1300854/">Iron Man 3 (2013)</a> (2013). Iron Man is the alias used by billionaire industrialist, inventor, military contractor, philanthropist, adventurer and socialite, Tony Stark. By day, Stark is the majority shareholder, CEO, chief technologist and de facto head of Stark International, a multinational conglomerate of technology companies. Stark International's primary businesses are research and development, weapons manufacturing, engineering, computer software and consumer electronics. Stark transforms himself into Iron Man when he dons his revolutionary suit of powered armor to fight crime and injustice. The Iron Man grants Stark superhuman strength, invulnerability, supersonic-flight capabilities and access to a vast array of directed energy weapons (including Stark's own proprietary repulsor-ray technology). The suit is controlled cybernetically by the wearer (as in the mechanisms of perception and control are similar to that of the natural relationship between the natural brain and the rest of the natural body). It also features a sophisticated operating system which employs some artificial intelligence. In common parlance, no; Iron Man is not a cyborg. He is not much more of a cyborg than a person who wears glasses or contact lenses. A cyborg or cybernetic being, as commonly depicted in science fiction, e.g., <a href="/title/tt0093870/">RoboCop (1987)</a> (1987), <a href="/title/tt0088247/">The Terminator (1984)</a> (1984), <a href="/title/tt0070700/">The Six Million Dollar Man (1973)</a> (1973), and Darth Vader from <a href="/title/tt0076759/">Star Wars (1977)</a> (1977), is a (chiefly cybernetic and often inseparable) fusion of living tissue and synthetic components. This interactive synthesis of organic and artificial systems can produce, for an organic lifeform, a wide variety of effects including, but not limited to, enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, intelligence etc. Iron Man is a "superhero persona", a man who is wearing/operating a suit of powered armor (an "exoskeleton") that could be worn by different people. Stark does, however, have an embedded chest piece, intended as a lifesaving device and capable of interacting with and powering the armor. It is a Boeing 737-800. However, the tail section is CGI-altered to make it appear more futuristic. Stark, being a technology wiz and a billionaire, would jump at the chance to have a sleeker and more modern plane than anyone else. Iron Man's primary nemesis is Obadiah Stane, aka the Iron Monger. In the beginning of the movie, Stark is captured by a group of terrorists known as "The Ten Rings". The Ten Rings is a reference to long time Iron Man nemesis, The Mandarin, who wields ten directed-energy-based rings as weapons. The three armors featured are the Mark I, Mark II and Mark III. The Mark I armor is the gray incarnation of the Diving Bell Armor Stark was forced to produce while in captivity. It is bullet resistant and features flamethrowers as its primary weapon. It also has limited flight capability. The Mark II armor features a more streamlined design, flight capabilities and directed energy weapons. It has a monochrome silver-metallic finish. The Mark III is essentially a duplicate of Mark II revised with the trademark red and gold color scheme known to the majority of fans. The Mark III armor compensates for a design flaw in the Mark II design which allowed for "icing" to occur during high-altitude flights. No, but we do see Tony Stark drinking often. Several characters also have recollections of Tony being inebriated during events that take place prior to the film's timeline. This may be a setup for plot points in future films. Presumably because he likes it that way. A standard vodka martini contains vodka, vermouth and an olive, and is crystal clear in color; a "dirty" martini is one that uses olive brine in place of or alongside the vermouth, and appears cloudier in color. Only some of them. All cinematic material made under the Marvel Studios banner, e.g.,Iron Man (2008), <a href="/title/tt0800080/">The Incredible Hulk (2008)</a> (2008), <a href="/title/tt0800369/">Thor (2011)</a> (2011) and(2011), are all set in the same universe (known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe), with the characters crossing over (most notably SHIELD personnel—Fury, Coulson, Romanoff or Barton), culminating in <a href="/title/tt0848228/">The Avengers (2012)</a> (2012) which ties these films together. Marvel Studios also owns/owned The Punisher and Blade, however <a href="/title/tt0330793/">The Punisher (2004)</a> (2004), <a href="/title/tt0450314/">Punisher: War Zone (2008)</a> (2008), <a href="/title/tt0120611/">Blade (1998)</a> (1998), <a href="/title/tt0187738/">Blade II (2002)</a> (2002) and <a href="/title/tt0359013/">Blade: Trinity (2004)</a> (2004) are/were not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Other Marvel-based films owned by other studios are not set in the MCU, due to differing ownership. This includes, for example: <a href="/title/tt0145487/">Spider-Man (2002)</a> (2002) and <a href="/title/tt0259324/">Ghost Rider (2007)</a> (2007) (both owned by Sony); <a href="/title/tt0120903/">X-Men (2000)</a> (2000), <a href="/title/tt0120667/">Fantastic Four (2005)</a> (2005), and <a href="/title/tt0287978/">Daredevil (2003)</a> (2003) (all owned by Fox). Yes, Nick Fury (<a href="/name/nm0000168/">Samuel L. Jackson</a>), Director of SHIELD, appears in a post-credits sequence. In this film it stands for "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division". Several characters joke about the length, which leads to the creation of the acronym, SHIELD. In the comics, it is "Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-enforcement Division" from 1965 until 1991 when it changed its name to "Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate". In the popular 1990s Spider-Man cartoon that aired on Fox Kids, it was identified as "Strategical Hazard International Espionage Law-enforcement Division". In an Entertainment Weekly interview, <a href="/name/nm0269463/">Jon Favreau</a> says that Marvel Studios President <a href="/name/nm0270559/">Kevin Feige</a> ordered the scene cut out of previews in order to keep fans guessing. The portrayal of Colonel Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury by Sam Jackson is based on the Ultimate Marvel Universe interpretation of the character. Ultimate Fury was intentionally patterned after the veteran actor after obtaining his consent to do so. This casting decision has proven controversial amongst continuity purists, despite the fact that it is not the first time such a deviation from original canon has occurred. Wilson Fisk (aka the Kingpin of Crime), a Caucasian character, was portrayed by <a href="/name/nm0003817/">Michael Clarke Duncan</a>, an American actor of Black descent, in the 2003 adaptation of Daredevil. The Ultimate Marvel Universe is a continuity that is separate and distinct from the classic Marvel Universe. The Ultimate imprint features revisionist versions of characters and stories which are featured in, and originally took place in, classic Marvel continuity. The Marvel Ultimate imprint prefixes all of its characters, scenarios and titles with the word "Ultimate" (e.g. Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Iron Man, Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Adventures, etc). Most Ultimate characters only bear the name and basic origin of their classic counterparts. Other details such as powers, appearance, personality and modus operandi are vastly different. To distinguish the two different continuities, some fans refer to classic Marvel Universe continuity as the "616 Universe". Nick Fury (played by Jackson) appears in a post end-credits sting where he confronts Tony Stark in his residence and says he wants to talk about "The Avengers Initiative." More Information: Ultimate Iron Man, Ultimate Nick Fury, Ultimate Marvel, and Earth-616. There are many differences between the film and comic book properties, the primary differences between the two are documented as follows. In the comics, Ho Yinsen—the man who helped Tony build the first Iron Man suit—was Chinese. The film's Yinsen (<a href="/name/nm0869467/">Shaun Toub</a>) is Afghani, from the fictional town of Gulmira. However, Yinsen is a Chinese name and it would be unlikely for an Afghan to be so named. Obadiah Stane, in the comics, was a rival businessman, and had his own company, Stane International. However, like his film incarnation, he was friendly with Tony's father before his passing. The group that kidnaps Tony Stark is implied to be connected to the Mandarin, Iron Man's archenemy. The Mandarin had nothing to do with his kidnapping in the comics (well, not directly, anyway). The Ten Rings are also involved with Obadiah Stane, who personally ordered the hit on Tony Stark. This is not the case in the comic book series. Jim Rhodes was a full-bird Colonel in the United States Marine Corps when he first appeared in the comics, while in the film he is a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force. JARVIS, the A.I. featured in the film, is a flesh and blood butler in the comic books. During the press conference at the end, Tony Stark hesitates to use SHIELD's cover story and then blurts out, "I am Iron Man." As to why he does this, an excerpt from the novelization offers some insight:<br/><br/>He thinks about how lying and deceit from others has brought him to this pass. He has sworn to put an end to that sort of thing, to do away with underhandedness and double-dealing. With the sort of mind-set that resulted in weapons being secretly sold to enemies and destroying lives.<br/><br/>People don't really know what happened last night. More questions will be raised, and more. There has to be an end to fear, and an end to secrecy, or otherwise this wreck of a world is going to be the best they've got and it's only going to get worse.<br/><br/>And the honesty, the transforming of the unknown into the known, the upfront dealings with people…it has to start somewhere.<br/><br/>Up until the publication of Iron Man vol. 3 issue #55, where Tony Stark reveals his identity, the media spin was that Iron Man was Tony Stark's bodyguard. Given the character's tendency towards impulsive and risky behavior, his sudden revelation is not out of character. Tony orders Pepper to overload the large arc reactor in the building even though he is still on the roof. Pepper is hesitant but obeys. The reactor releases its shockwave, knocking out the Iron Monger and killing Stane. The mini arc reactor in Tony's chest sparks back to life, allowing him to survive. The press subsequently lauds the "Iron Man" as a hero. Tony likes the moniker, even though his suit is made of a gold-titanium alloy. Agent Coulson (<a href="/name/nm0163988/">Clark Gregg</a>) invents a cover story telling the "truth" about the destruction of the Stark Building: a robotic prototype malfunctioned and caused damage to the arc reactor, Stark was on his yacht in Avalon Island, Stane was killed in a small aircraft accrident while on vacation, and the Iron Man was Stark's bodyguard. In the final scene, Tony is about to report Coulson's cover story at a press conference but tosses away his prepared statement and says only, "I am Iron Man." Yes. Tony returns home to find a mysterious man in black awaiting him. He introduces himself as Nick Fury, director of SHIELD. He points out that Tony is not the only superhero in existence and wants to talk about him joining the "Avenger Initiative." The original Avengers consisted of Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk. Captain America joined the group in Volume 1 of The Avengers, Issue number 4, and replaced the Hulk. Yes. During the scene after Colonel Rhodes gives his "training exercise" cover story to the press, Tony Stark is in the middle of removing his damaged suit. What appears to be a partially built, shield-like apparatus with an American flag design and a star in the middle can be seen in Stark's work area just before Pepper Potts (<a href="/name/nm0000569/">Gwyneth Paltrow</a>) discovers him. Producer <a href="/name/nm0270559/">Kevin Feige</a> has stated that it is, indeed, Captain America's shield. Blink and you'll miss it! Yes. Tony Stark puts in an appearance at the end of The Incredible Hulk (2008), which suggests that a team is being formed, most likely "The Avengers." In fact, the post-credits scene (i.e., the stinger) makes reference to the "Avengers Initiative." As Tony Stark arrives at his third annual benefit for the Firefighter's Family Fund, he pats Stan Lee who presents like Hugh Hefner, i.e. wearing a bathrobe and having a supermodel at each of his arms.
