When Tony Stark, the head of a weapons manufacturer, is captured by a Middle Eastern power, he must use his own technology to escape. His imprisonment allowed him to learn a lot about his company and himself. In turn he wants to make a difference, and for the first time in the company's history do what is ethical. So Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey, Jr., uses some of his old inventions to make a state of the art suit in order to set things right. In this new addition to the Marvel Comics movies, Robert Downey, Jr. uses action and humor to entertain audiences of all ages, in what many are calling the best movie of summer 2008.
I absolutely enjoyed this movie. I liked it so much that I actually watched it twice in the movie theaters. In my opinion this movie tops all other Marvel Comics movies (including Spider-Man). It has the right amount of humor to keep you entertained, but it is the action packed scenes that make this movie great. Who wouldn't want to see a movie with a man flying around and using sonic blasts to make things right in the world. This is one of those movies that have you wondering when you leave the theater, "What if I could do that?"
