Iron Man (2008) Movie

The movie was quite good, considering how the lead actor (Robert Downey Jr) managed to portray both the confident, high-flying military industrialist, Tony Stark, as well as the reflective, humanistic superhero in disguise. I loved his humour and also the way the movie balanced a gently evasive but subtly romantic relationship with long-time personal assistant Pepper Potts (played by Gwyneth Paltrow).

The experimentation with the Iron Man suit in his laboratory was really funny, especially how he communicates and chides his robotic assistants. The villiany in the story was quite predictable with a profit-oriented uncle versus a transformed and humanitarian Tony Stark and climaxed into a showdown as both slugged it out with their versions of the Iron Man.

Don't forget to pay attention to Tony Stark's speeches in the movie, especially the last one. Very memorable and unique - gives thought to the kind of mayhem and chaos he always throws around whenever he gives speeches.

Hahaha. The 4 star movie is definitely worth watching.
