Movie Review Summary

Like all comic books made into films, they have a lot to live up to. This one has the sheer energy of Robert Downey Jr supporting it and it’s hard to think of it doing well without his exuberance onscreen. He carries the role of Tony Stark very well and Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane comes across as a worthy adversary. Gwyneth Paltrow as the love interest though is a bit different, certainly in comparison to what you get in other action films like this. Overall, this film feels like a foundation for something more. It lays the groundwork for who Iron Man is and shows how he came about, apart from that it’s lacking.
