Connor Macgregor Reviews...Iron Man

I Saw Iron Man 2 and if yu go back a few pages you can check my review on that film, but now i have finally come round to seeing the first one. So here is my review.

The playboy wolf and genius Tony Stark is the successful CIO of the Stark Industries, a weapon company founded by his father. His second in command is Obadiah Stane, who worked with his father, and his loyal and professional secretary is Pepper Potts, who has a crush on Tony. While in Afghanistan to demonstrate the ultimate Jericho missile developed by his company, his military convoy is attacked and Tony is seriously wounded on his chest and kidnapped by a group of rebels that wants him to assemble a missile for their use. Tony stays with his abductors for three months and develops a powerful metallic armor to escape from the cave where he is arrested. He decides to stop manufacturing weapons in his company under the protest of Obadiah, and dedicates his time to improve the armor, manufacturing it with gold and titanium and installing a propulsion system to fly. However, Pepper discovers that Tony was betrayed by Obadiah, who is using Tony's data to build prototype armor for him, transforming it in the ultimate weapon.

Iron Man is a lot better in many ways. The first is the story. This is a great introduction for Iron Man into the world of cinema. It feels very original and new on the big screen and Robert Downey Jr just fits like a puzzle into the character of Tony Stark. His arrogance,wit and self charm is just perfect for him. I also really feel like Marvel did a good job because he looks exactly like the Tony Stark in the comics. Pepper Potts is a nice sweet character played by Gwyneth Paltrow who is very sweet and fiesty in the role. Terrance Howard plays Rhodey and feel that he is a lot better than Don Chedle in the role. But the star is by far Jeff Bridges. Such a clever villian with a clever personality. As well as that i think Jon Faverau The Director and Hogan was good at both acting and directing. I also give credit to Clark Gregg who plays Agent Coulson in this. I think he is very underrated and should get more major work.

Overall its fun, original and very exciting and its worth seeing.
