This movie shows the hate terrorists have for us and what President Donald J Trump, Andrew Scheer and Premier Ford have to do. But the purity of The United States of America forces is shown as diluted. Sad, very sad. terrorists have strapped on hateful bombs and are after us and only our might will stop them. MAGA

Iron Man is the classic superhero movie bringing the rich billionaire to life with the help of Robert Downey Jr. The perfect candidate for Stark. The movie plays perfectly with the classic bad guy wanting to usurp the hero and Jeff Bridges makes a fantastic bad guy too. My only problem with the film was that it was mildly inopropriate with all the women Tony was bedding, but I suppose it was part of his character. So other than that I lived it and can't wait for the sequel.

With a career-defining performance by Robert Downey Jr. and an excellent character-driven story, 'Iron Man' is a first-rate superhero film that puts character development and plot over spectacle and visual effects (although that is good here, too). It also kickstarted the MCU in spectacular fashion, setting the ground-work for what was to come but also being great in its own right (something that 'cinematic universes' are forgetting to do now). It might not be the best film to come out of the MCU, but the fact that it is better than the majority of them is a real testament to its success. 8/10

Tony Stark's life is the dream of any self-respecting man. He is incredibly rich, devilishly intelligent and in no less than superb degree is charming. He sleeps mostly with the girls who have been on the cover of Maxim, he drives exclusively on cars, under the hood of which there are not less horses than in the entire equestrian sport of any country, and the interview gives only sexy reporter, ready for a long, let's say a conversation before the first cocks. But one day, Tony's always sarcastic becomes a joke, he is taken prisoner by a group of Arab-terrorist appearance with the demand to "make us such a rocket" and subsequently - to kill. Stark and his companion in misfortune decide that to lose hope in general and stupid, and begin to build right before the eyes of nothing understanding the invaders best of Tony's evening suits.It is always pleasant, when transparent as glass, aphorisms find a clear confirmation in our lives. So it happened with the phrase "If you want to do something well, do it yourself." The company Marvel, which owns the rights to all at least some decent heroes of graphic novels, was tired of how famously Hollywood turns her intellectual property into a shame, and took absolutely the entire production process under her control. The Iron Man is the first swallow of this approach, and it should be noted that the swallow has come out so fat that under it branches break.The fact that the stars heavily winked at the project is noticeable already for the one who plays the main role. Downey Jr. in Hollywood is considered an eternal loser because Robert is more accustomed to look at the world from a bottled bottom or through a mirror powdered with white powder. To make such a person a titular face of a multimillion picture, which would be nice to justify the budget, the thing is extremely risky. That you had something to compare, I will say that the production of HF on his shoulders by Robert is akin to the appearance of Johnny Depp in the role of Jack Sparrow in one little-known picture. That is, this is when a good actor becomes also successful, and the viewer from this only wins. A more charming and charismatic Stark can not be imagined. Yes, and in his opponents he is not anyhow anybody, but similar to Lenin's grandfather Jeff Bridges, pushing his villainous speeches with frighteningly realistic notes in his voice. Well, any appearance on the screen of Gwyneth Paltrow should generally be celebrated at the state level - it is as usual so nice that I want to directly coat it with my coat and take it by the handle to some more cozy place than the screen of the cinema.As the adaptation of a picture book, the film is immaculate. The dose of humor, action and serious non-pseudo-paraphonic dialogues were always on good pharmacy scales, and 186 million of the budget allow you not to think much about the quality of special effects. Such falsities and unfriendly relations with logic usual in such pictures are completely absent. The general message of the film reads easily: "We had you, Hollywood," and the main indicator is the phrase that ends the film. As Dreamworks once sneered in their Shrek over Disney standards, so Marvel tramples everything that was done before in the field of the genre.
