Iron Man - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Why did I take 1 star off??Because the good vs evil and greed vs redemption is as old as the,well you know what !!! Still,this film does it as well as its ever been done.Good effects and GREAT acting by the star Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man  with good support by Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane  and sadly little more than eye candy is given Gwyneth Paltrow     as Pepper Potts to do.Good heavy metal soundtrack if your into that.
Released in 2008 and running 126 minutes I have yet to see the sequel.Trailer follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.

Tony Stark is the complete playboy who also happens to be an engineering genius. While in Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile, he's captured and wounded. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them but instead he creates an armored suit and a means to prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He uses the armored suit to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research. Written by John Vogel {jlvogel@comcast.net}
