IRON MAN – MUST WATCH

Yet another super hero? Naah! If this was your opinion about the new box office Bomber ‘IRON MAN’, then I would definitely insist you to watch the movie before taking a stance. The special effects are mind blowing and the lead characters play their roles to perfection. With a decent story line and a perfect mix of comedy, Iron Man is worth the ticket.

The story revolves around Tony Stark who is a playboy and a genius. (A rare mix definitely). He creates a new missile and during the demo in Afghanistan, he is captured and suffers a deadly injury. He is forced by his captors to build a missile. But he cleverly builds an armored suit which helps him to escape. Then he begins work on a new armored suit. He discovers that Obadiah Shane of Stark industries had been selling the weapons to miscreants. How he destroys those weapons and deals with Shane forms the remaining portion of this intriguing story.


Robert Downey plays the lead role and delivers a commendable performance. Though, not a big name in the industry, Downey delivers the perfect characterization and it becomes hard to imagine anyone else for the lead role. It is to be appreciated that the producers have gone on with a lead character aged 40, instead of any handsome hunks, as the story line demands such a role. The effects are superb and the comedy lines do not lead you off the track. The suit grabs your attention as attention has been given to every detail and is quite realistic.

Overall Iron man is just the kind of movie, to rake in a huge collection at the box office and is definitely a must watch. It is definitely one of the best super hero genre movies that has come by so far and is worth every penny that you pay to watch it..
