Iron ManPosted Thursday, 12th February, 2009 [5:13 PM]Like The Dark Knight, Iron Man spans all audiences, comic book fan or not this is the type of summer blockbuster that lasts far beyond the season. Tony Stark is a billionaire playboy and genius who is always chasing his next big dream. Selling weapons is his game and a business trip to Afghanistan quickly turns into chaos when Stark finds himself at the mercy of a warlord who wants him to build a missile. Knowing they will only kill him he instead creates a suit of armor, thus turning him into Iron Man and allowing him to escape. In returning from a near death experience he has decided to change his ways, and everyone close to him including his assistant Pepper Pots (Gwyneth Paltrow), friend Rhodey (Terrence Howard) and long time business partner Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) are concerned and fascinated by the new man he has become. Director Jon Favreau against the feelings of other involved insisted on Robert Downey Jr to play the legendary Iron Man and boy are we glad he held his ground. Robert Downey Jr knows what makes Tony Stark tick and brings the character to life flawlessly. Like any action movie a lot of description is needed for the visually impaired, this film is now available on DVD so if you haven’t see it yet, I recommend renting it with a friend or family member to get the full effect, if you have already seen it then you know what all the hype is about. Two amazing comic book movies came out last year and this is one of them. Special note for those you don’t know, audiences who keep watching after the credits have rolled will be rewarded with a bonus scene.
Nominated for: Visual Effects Sound Editing Sound Mixing
Could have also been nominated for: Best Actor: Robert Downey Jr.
