Review of Iron Man (2008) by Gordon H — 11 May 2016
What a Fantastic Film! Best Origin Story Ever!
Originally written on May 9, 2008--.
Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor. But his fall from grace with his alcohol and drug addiction over the last ten to fifteen years is the stuff of legend. That's why he was the PERFECT choice to play Tony Stark in this film about the origin story of Iron Man, one of the lesser known comic book heroes. Everything that Tony goes through in the movie, Robert has gone through himself too. And when you find yourself rooting for this flawed hero who is given a second chance to redeem his own life, you realize how much it must have meant to Robert Downey, Jr., to get the opportunity to play this part. What a fantastic film! I hope Iron Man becomes a new superhero to rival the likes of Batman, Superman, and the Hulk!
