IRON MAN

Director: Jon Favreau
by Jen McNeely
Actors: Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard

In a Nutshell: Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr, is a billionaire, genius and celebrity weapons maker. When not building bombs, Tony Stark shags hot women, shakes dice, drives fast cars and drinks scotch. On a trip to Afghanistan he is taken hostage, nearly dies, is saved by a battery operated heart – then creates a (excuse the laymen terms) supersonic heart out of scraps. Following this he builds himself a gigantic robot man and shoots down the bad guys, flies into the air – lands in the desert, gets rescued by helicopters and returns to California. After his near death experience, Tony changes his direction, reflects upon his purpose in life and dives into constructing THE IRON MAN.

Three Words to Describe: Sexy, Funny and KABOOOM!

Annoying Qualities: I loved this film and I am far from someone who leaps to the theatre to see Spiderman. No complaints here!

This Film Made Me Feel: Like screwing Robert Downey Jr and building a machine out of compost.

You’ll Like this Film If You Liked: The Matrix, Blade Runner, Spiderman, The Island

Verdict: It’s a smart blockbuster. AMAZING! Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays Pepper – Tony’s Assistant, is super cute too.

Go See this Film with: A group of friends, your man, your woman, your pet robot.
