The first Iron Man movie is the most blatant attempt to lay down the ground rules for a franchise. Having watched the Avengers movie, I had some high hopes for this first outing for Robert Downey Jr. The film starts off as Starkey being in an unnamed middle east country and is attacked and asked to build a version of his weapon but ends up building a suit to escape and works on building a new one when he gets home but the bad guys (including Jeff Bridges) get hold of the old suit and use it.
The film was highly enjoyable. Every time RDJ appears on screen I was having fun because he is a good screen prescene. When Gwenth was on screen I was less intersted because she is not a particuarly good actress. Jeff Bridges is obviously a baddie from the moment that she appeared on screen as he bald and had a beard and was quite an effective baddie.
The first half of the film does a good job of setting the reason why Starkey is the way he is and its nice how he changes his views and when people try to get him to go back to his old ways he refuses. The action sequences were very well realised and I didnt find it boring at all.
This film is highly enjoyable and I am now looking forward to the second one which I have got on DVD.
