SubscribeA perfectly cast Robert Downey Jr, creates a wonderfully imperfect Iron Man. Having suffered his traumatic epiphany and determined to convert his ultra-high tech arms business into a force for good, the plot is driven not by stunts and special effects, but Iron Man’s real enemy: corporate self interest and his humanity.
A more Batman than Superman 9 out of 10.
Director: Jon Favreau……Starring Robert Downey Jr……Terrence Howard……Jeff Bridges……Gwyneth Paltrow
