Review of Iron Man (2008) by Eldin B — 27 Nov 2013
Billionaire and weapons creator Tony Stark goes through a crisis of conscience when he is kidnapped by terrorists, and a new hero is born.
Marvel's history of movies adapted from their comics heroes has always been a bit chequered, with some excellent entries (Blade) to some complete abortions (Fantastic Four). But, I am happy to report that Iron Man probably one of the best Marvel adaptations that I have ever seen. The story is pretty faithful to the comics and is a complete roller-coaster of action and comedy. The acting is fantastic, and the casting of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is inspired. The special effects are incredibly well handled, and I especially like liked the evolution of the Iron Man suit. As I said before, this is probably one of the best Marvel adaptations that I have ever seen, and it has set a new level on how comic book heroes should be portrayed on screen.
