I never considered myself much of a superhero guy until “Iron Man” came about. If you have-n’t seen it yet, don’t worry. You’re only missing out on one of the best movies of 2013. Normally I love to ruin surprises, but I’m not going to give away the end-ing, so read on my friend.
Iron Man is a superhero who uses a robotic suit to fight the war on ter-ror. Tony Stark is Iron Man’s real name, and is played by Robert Downey Jr., of course. He is a super genius who runs the world’s best weapons company.
After being held captive as a prisoner of war, Stark realizes that his weapons are doing more harm than good, and this is when he creates the Iron Man suit to fight against terror-ists. That is the first movie in a nut-shell.
After that, it is your basic super-hero movie. The super hero gets his power, or in this case, a suit, then there is a super villain, and they fight and it is a happy ending. The second movie gets a little more complicated than that.
So in the second movie Iron Man has to deal with a lot more than just one super villain. I recommend you just watch these movies and find out for yourself.
Now this newest movie, Iron Man 3, is probably one of the best movies of 2013 thus far. It was just amazing, and there isn’t much I can say about it other than I love it a lot. Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark so well; the overall cast is pure excel-lence.
In this movie, a man called the Mandarin is on a terror quest. Tony tells all the media the location of his house and you can imagine what hap-pens from there. He suits up and somehow ends up in Tennessee, where he meets a new friend and be-gins piecing together the terroristic group of the Mandarin. From there, he travels to Miami to begin the serious action (this would be where a majority of the action takes place).
There was just one thing that really, really bothered me about this movie. Well let me back up, Tony Stark is a very wealthy man, and in the first two movies there are some awesome shots of his cool car collec-tion. However, in this one the only car you see is an Audi, and I have seen all these Iron Man 3 commercials spon-sored by Audi.
It just bothered me so much be-cause it felt like there were commer-cials during my movie. Also Verizon Fios must have paid more than a lot of to have a couple of seconds of screen time during this film.
As cool as this movie was, if this is the direction movies are headed, then I am going to be very upset with even the best of movies.
Overall, I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
