Iron Man

Iron an Review/Backstory



On Monday the 16th of June I, and my family saw Iron Man. I usually enjoy comic book movies but this one I liked much more than the others. There was something about it that made it much better than the others (i.e. Spider Man, X Men etc)

The movie starts interestingly with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in a hummer with U.S. soldiers. We don’t know why he is there but you can make the assumption of where they are. You know nothing of Mr. Stark at this point other than he’s rich and well known.

If I tell you anything beyond this point it will ruin the movie for you so I will just give some back-story information of Tony Stark. Tony’s father started a company (Stark Industries) many years ago. His father worked on the Manhattan project (if you don’t know what that is wikipedia it). The company was taken over by a partner in the business but Tony returned at reclaimed the business. Anthony Stark lives normal celebrity’s life but after a life changing experience in the middle-east decides to make a change.

I very much enjoyed this movie and compared the The Incredible Hulk it was an Academy Awards film. A review of The Hulk is coming soon.
