a5c7b9f00b After being kidnapped by a powerful terrorist organization, brilliant industrialist Tony Stark narrowly escapes using an iron suit he crafted from scrap metal and spare parts. Upon returning home, he devotes all of his time and resources to perfecting the iron man suit, and using it to fight evil, sometimes in the place where he least expects it.
The playboy wolf and genius Tony Stark is the successful CIO of the Stark Industries, a weapon company founded by his father. His second in command is Obadiah Stane, who worked with his father, and his loyal and professional secretary is Pepper Potts, who has a crush on Tony. While in Afghanistan to demonstrate the ultimate Jericho missile developed by his company, his military convoy is attacked and Tony is seriously wounded on his chest and kidnapped by a group of rebels that wants him to assemble a missile for their use. Tony stays with his abductors for three months and develops a powerful metallic armor to escape from the cave where he is arrested. He decides to stop manufacturing weapons in his company under the protest of Obadiah, and dedicates his time to improve the armor, manufacturing it with gold and titanium and installing a propulsion system to fly. However, Pepper discovers that Tony was betrayed by Obadiah, who is using Tony's data to build prototype armor for him, transforming it in the ultimate weapon.
The bad news? The movie lurched to an unsatisfying ending, I thought. But, don't worry, by then it's all anti-climax anyway. 7/8ths of this film is pure joy, straight out of the best comic book experience you ever had. Somehow (director) Favreau's captured it all on film with Downey's and Paltrow's and Bridges' help, all of whom are dead on. I especially liked Downey's portrayal though Paltrow is pure million-dollar assistant. And Bridges makes a wonderful Obadiah Stane, genius Tony Stark's greedy chief executive. Out of the leads, it's only Terrence Howard who seems a little out of step, but not enough to get in the way. The middle eastern bad guys, on the other hand, are wonderful without the slightest condescension.<br/><br/>The special effects are beautifully done with only a couple of minor exceptions. But it's the story's unfurling in its own time that made the movie especially delicious in my opinion, and that must have been the scriptwriter's and director's doing. Best of all,the whole smartly executed mess starts to come in for a landing, you knowsurelyyou know the sun will rise tomorrow that there will be a sequel and, for once, you can't wait. Is this a guy's movie? I really don't know. I saw it at a matinée with about 6 guys and one woman and she was inscrutable. I suspect she was a bit out of her element. There is a lot of shooting and flying and tech stuff, not the usual female bill of fare.
AH! A Movie Comic Book adaptation; it's one of my favourite desserts! Being both a film buff and an old Comic Book guy, dating from the olden days of 1957, this is just a perfect sort of a review for this kid. They can be so much fun; yet, such a pain in the ass!<br/><br/>THE latter attribute above is due mainly to the tendency of the screen writing and directorial fraternities in monkeying around with characters, identities and (so often) origins. I suppose that you could call me a sort of purist, in that sense; perhaps even a "Comicological Conservative" of sorts. Guilty, Guilty is my plea to that charge! <br/><br/>SO, what's my penalty, the sentence already?<br/><br/>TAMPERING with successful Comic Strips and Comic Books (remember, they're not exactly the same thing!) has long been a standing tradition in Hollywood; along with the same treatment applied to the Comic Strips/Books close relatives, the Pulp Magazine and Radio Series Adventure Characters. We suppose that this may be some way of justifying the writers' and directors' jobs and their oft outrageous $allarie$. <br/><br/>HENCE, we saw so many glaringly erroneous examples of false adaptational zeal; that indeed seemed to have been the rule, rather than the exception. The addition of characterswellsettings and names all were deemed to be fair game.<br/><br/>EXAMPLES abound in the Sound Serial Adaptations; such as: in DICK TRACY (Republic, 1937), the first of 4 Tracy Chapterplays, Detective Tracy's main squeeze is names Gwenn; whereas we all know that it was Tess Trueheart from day one in Chester Gould's Comic Strip. For FLASH GORDON'S TRIP TO MARS (Universal, 1938), the venue was transformed to the Red Planet from the original setting in adapting the Sunday Comic Strip continuity "The Witch Queen of Mongo", featuring Queen Azura.<br/><br/>EVEN the best of the Comic Book Hero Serials were guilty of unnecessary variant scenarios. As case in point, we present THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL (Republic, 1941); which transplanted the Comic Book Origin from a deep, dark old subway tunnel to meting the Wizard, SHAZAM, in a Tomb in a remote part of Siam (which looked suspiciously like L.A.'s Griffith Park). SPY SMASHER (Republic, 1942) gave the main character & Spy Smasher's alter-ego, Alan Armstrong, a twin brother, Jack! (Get it, Schultz, Jack Armstrong!). But these elements were easily overlooked. Because of the fine adherence to the rest of the story lines and the rendering of action and special effects; even the strictest of constructionists (like yours truly)could both forgive and overlook.<br/><br/>"CAMP" Humor that was injected into the BATMAN Television Series (Greenway/20th Century-Fox/ABC TV, 1966-1968) did not domuch harm;the heart of the Batman feature was intact, the Villains were right from Comics Pages and even the best episodes were adapted right from the stories in Detective Comics and Batman Comics Magazine.<br/><br/>AS for our brand spankin' new IRON MAN (Dark Blade/Fairview/Road Rebel/Marvel/Paramount, 2008) accomplishes much on its own; while maintaining the original elements of Origin and the general tone of the Iron Man feature. There was no attempt to improve on the original. And yet, the feature is now over 40 years old; ergo, there would have to be some certain degree of adaptation, if only to make connection with our world of today.<br/><br/>IN updating the international situation of thenopposed to now, we find that the new production was wise enough to infuse the elements of the War Against the Islamic Fascist Terrorists;that is surely the problem we face today. During Iron Man's original run, Mr. Stan Lee would most often use phrases such"….So, Red Star, You are just another Slave to Your Kremlin Masters!" ….in addressing the Enemy. The villains were tailor made to the Cold War; suchthe Red Chinese super operative,wellRoad Show Fu Manchu, The Mandarin.<br/><br/>DIRECTOR John Favreau, who has displayed such diversity in working before and behind the camera, had the good sense to strike a fine balance between the serious and the escapist; the action scenes being punctuated by the use of great humour and fine comic relief, which hits the old funny bone of the juvenile viewerwellthe older, more sophisticated SEX AND THE CITY female set. Our favourite exponent of the smart, modern, even 'hip' humour is the super loyal (and loving) secretary Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Her explanation of her duties to the young female reporter, recently bedded by Mr. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) being "…Sometimes I have to throw out the trash!" <br/><br/>THE villainy other than that of the Islamist Fascist Terrorists and Insurgents is provided by one of our favourite players. Jeff Bridges provides the dangerous opponent of the enemy within. As Obediah Stane/The Iron Monger, he serves up a double dose of treachery; both with unfathomable greed in the Corporate Board Room and in the Middle Eastern Theatre of War,a sort of 5th Column Collaborator.<br/><br/>LET'S see, what else? Oh, yeah the original musical score by Ramin Djawadi is excellent in both the overture (theme) and the incidental music (mood & action queues). It is apparent that a lot of thought was given to the original compositionit is truly fashioned to order for the Iron Man Saga. Obviously Jon Favreau had familiarity with the character from reading the "Jokebooks"a kid and teen.<br/><br/>AS for the Special Effects, what can we say? They are outstanding and speak for themselves. Their movement and the way they seamlessly are blended into the proceedings arefinethose of any, even those of SPIDERMAN II and III. Man, those Special Flying FX sure have come a long way from Tom Tyler's CAPTAIN MARVEL or Kirk Allyn's SUPERMAN and ATOM MAN VS. SUPERMAN (both Columbia, 1948 and 1950 respectively).<br/><br/>POODLE SCHNITZ!!
Iron Man is the first Marvel Comics superhero movie I would willingly sit through a second time. This is the result not just of what the movie does, but what the movie doesn't do.
When wealthy industrialist Tony Stark (<a href="/name/nm0000375/">Robert Downey Jr.</a>) suffers a chestful of shrapnel after his Humvee is bombed by enemy fire in Afghanistan where he has gone to give a presentation of the new Jericho missile that Stark Industries has developed, his life is saved only by an electromagnet attached to a car battery that serves to keep the shrapnel from piercing his heart. Tony escapes from his captors by creating an arc reactor that eliminates the need for the battery and an iron suit that protects him from attack. Back in the U.S., he announces that his company will cease making weapons, and he begins work on an updated armored suit, all to the chagrin of his partner Obadiah Stane (<a href="/name/nm0000313/">Jeff Bridges</a>). Iron Man is based on a comic book of the same name created by Marvel Comics editor Stan Lee and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Iron Man first appeared in issue #39 of Tales of Suspense (March 1963). The screenplay for the film was written by Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway. Iron Man was followed by <a href="/title/tt1228705/">Iron Man 2 (2010)</a> (2010) and <a href="/title/tt1300854/">Iron Man 3 (2013)</a> (2013). Iron Man is the alias used by billionaire industrialist, inventor, military contractor, philanthropist, adventurer and socialite, Tony Stark. By day, Stark is the majority shareholder, CEO, chief technologist and de facto head of Stark International, a multinational conglomerate of technology companies. Stark International's primary businesses are research and development, weapons manufacturing, engineering, computer software and consumer electronics. Stark transforms himself into Iron Man when he dons his revolutionary suit of powered armor to fight crime and injustice. The Iron Man grants Stark superhuman strength, invulnerability, supersonic-flight capabilities and access to a vast array of directed energy weapons (including Stark's own proprietary repulsor-ray technology). The suit is controlled cybernetically by the wearer (as in the mechanisms of perception and control are similar to that of the natural relationship between the natural brain and the rest of the natural body). It also features a sophisticated operating system which employs some artificial intelligence. In common parlance, no; Iron Man is not a cyborg. He is not much more of a cyborg than a person who wears glasses or contact lenses. A cyborg or cybernetic being,commonly depicted in science fiction, e.g., <a href="/title/tt0093870/">RoboCop (1987)</a> (1987), <a href="/title/tt0088247/">The Terminator (1984)</a> (1984), <a href="/title/tt0070700/">The Six Million Dollar Man (1973)</a> (1973), and Darth Vader from <a href="/title/tt0076759/">Star Wars (1977)</a> (1977), is a (chiefly cybernetic and often inseparable) fusion of living tissue and synthetic components. This interactive synthesis of organic and artificial systems can produce, for an organic lifeform, a wide variety of effects including, but not limited to, enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, intelligence etc. Iron Man is a "superhero persona", a man who is wearing/operating a suit of powered armor (an "exoskeleton") that could be worn by different people. Stark does, however, have an embedded chest piece, intendeda lifesaving device and capable of interacting with and powering the armor. It is a Boeing 737-800. However, the tail section is CGI-altered to make it appear more futuristic. Stark, being a technology wiz and a billionaire, would jump at the chance to have a sleeker and more modern plane than anyone else. Iron Man's primary nemesis is Obadiah Stane, aka the Iron Monger. In the beginning of the movie, Stark is captured by a group of terrorists known"The Ten Rings". The Ten Rings is a reference to long time Iron Man nemesis, The Mandarin, who wields ten directed-energy-based ringsweapons. The three armors featured are the Mark I, Mark II and Mark III. The Mark I armor is the gray incarnation of the Diving Bell Armor Stark was forced to produce while in captivity. It is bullet resistant and features flamethrowersits primary weapon. It also has limited flight capability. The Mark II armor features a more streamlined design, flight capabilities and directed energy weapons. It has a monochrome silver-metallic finish. The Mark III is essentially a duplicate of Mark II revised with the trademark red and gold color scheme known to the majority of fans. The Mark III armor compensates for a design flaw in the Mark II design which allowed for "icing" to occur during high-altitude flights. No, but we do see Tony Stark drinking often. Several characters also have recollections of Tony being inebriated during events that take place prior to the film's timeline. This may be a setup for plot points in future films. Presumably because he likes it that way. A standard vodka martini contains vodka, vermouth and an olive, and is crystal clear in color; a "dirty" martini is one that uses olive brine in place of or alongside the vermouth, and appears cloudier in color. Only some of them. All cinematic material made under the Marvel Studios banner, e.g.,Iron Man (2008), <a href="/title/tt0800080/">The Incredible Hulk (2008)</a> (2008), <a href="/title/tt0800369/">Thor (2011)</a> (2011) and(2011), are all set in the same universe (knownthe Marvel Cinematic Universe), with the characters crossing over (most notably SHIELD personnel—Fury, Coulson, Romanoff or Barton), culminating in <a href="/title/tt0848228/">The Avengers (2012)</a> (2012) which ties these films together. Marvel Studios also owns/owned The Punisher and Blade, however <a href="/title/tt0330793/">The Punisher (2004)</a> (2004), <a href="/title/tt0450314/">Punisher: War Zone (2008)</a> (2008), <a href="/title/tt0120611/">Blade (1998)</a> (1998), <a href="/title/tt0187738/">Blade II (2002)</a> (2002) and <a href="/title/tt0359013/">Blade: Trinity (2004)</a> (2004) are/were not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Other Marvel-based films owned by other studios are not set in the MCU, due to differing ownership. This includes, for example: <a href="/title/tt0145487/">Spider-Man (2002)</a> (2002) and <a href="/title/tt0259324/">Ghost Rider (2007)</a> (2007) (both owned by Sony); <a href="/title/tt0120903/">X-Men (2000)</a> (2000), <a href="/title/tt0120667/">Fantastic Four (2005)</a> (2005), and <a href="/title/tt0287978/">Daredevil (2003)</a> (2003) (all owned by Fox). Yes, Nick Fury (<a href="/name/nm0000168/">Samuel L. Jackson</a>), Director of SHIELD, appears in a post-credits sequence. In this film it stands for "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division". Several characters joke about the length, which leads to the creation of the acronym, SHIELD. In the comics, it is "Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-enforcement Division" from 1965 until 1991 when it changed its name to "Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate". In the popular 1990s Spider-Man cartoon that aired on Fox Kids, it was identified"Strategical Hazard International Espionage Law-enforcement Division". In an Entertainment Weekly interview, <a href="/name/nm0269463/">Jon Favreau</a> says that Marvel Studios President <a href="/name/nm0270559/">Kevin Feige</a> ordered the scene cut out of previews in order to keep fans guessing. The portrayal of Colonel Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury by Sam Jackson is based on the Ultimate Marvel Universe interpretation of the character. Ultimate Fury was intentionally patterned after the veteran actor after obtaining his consent to do so. This casting decision has proven controversial amongst continuity purists, despite the fact that it is not the first time such a deviation from original canon has occurred. Wilson Fisk (aka the Kingpin of Crime), a Caucasian character, was portrayed by <a href="/name/nm0003817/">Michael Clarke Duncan</a>, an American actor of Black descent, in the 2003 adaptation of Daredevil. The Ultimate Marvel Universe is a continuity that is separate and distinct from the classic Marvel Universe. The Ultimate imprint features revisionist versions of characters and stories which are featured in, and originally took place in, classic Marvel continuity. The Marvel Ultimate imprint prefixes all of its characters, scenarios and titles with the word "Ultimate" (e.g. Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Iron Man, Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Adventures, etc). Most Ultimate characters only bear the name and basic origin of their classic counterparts. Other details suchpowers, appearance, personality and modus operandi are vastly different. To distinguish the two different continuities, some fans refer to classic Marvel Universe continuitythe "616 Universe". Nick Fury (played by Jackson) appears in a post end-credits sting where he confronts Tony Stark in his residence and says he wants to talk about "The Avengers Initiative." More Information: Ultimate Iron Man, Ultimate Nick Fury, Ultimate Marvel, and Earth-616. There are many differences between the film and comic book properties, the primary differences between the two are documentedfollows. In the comics, Ho Yinsen—the man who helped Tony build the first Iron Man suit—was Chinese. The film's Yinsen (<a href="/name/nm0869467/">Shaun Toub</a>) is Afghani, from the fictional town of Gulmira. However, Yinsen is a Chinese name and it would be unlikely for an Afghan to be so named. Obadiah Stane, in the comics, was a rival businessman, and had his own company, Stane International. However, like his film incarnation, he was friendly with Tony's father before his passing. The group that kidnaps Tony Stark is implied to be connected to the Mandarin, Iron Man's archenemy. The Mandarin had nothing to do with his kidnapping in the comics (well, not directly, anyway). The Ten Rings are also involved with Obadiah Stane, who personally ordered the hit on Tony Stark. This is not the case in the comic book series. Jim Rhodes was a full-bird Colonel in the United States Marine Corps when he first appeared in the comics, while in the film he is a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force. JARVIS, the A.I. featured in the film, is a flesh and blood butler in the comic books. During the press conference at the end, Tony Stark hesitates to use SHIELD's cover story and then blurts out, "I am Iron Man." As to why he does this, an excerpt from the novelization offers some insight:<br/><br/>He thinks about how lying and deceit from others has brought him to this pass. He has sworn to put an end to that sort of thing, to do away with underhandedness and double-dealing. With the sort of mind-set that resulted in weapons being secretly sold to enemies and destroying lives.<br/><br/>People don't really know what happened last night. More questions will be raised, and more. There has to be an end to fear, and an end to secrecy, or otherwise this wreck of a world is going to be the best they've got and it's only going to get worse.<br/><br/>And the honesty, the transforming of the unknown into the known, the upfront dealings with people…it has to start somewhere.<br/><br/>Up until the publication of Iron Man vol. 3 issue #55, where Tony Stark reveals his identity, the media spin was that Iron Man was Tony Stark's bodyguard. Given the character's tendency towards impulsive and risky behavior, his sudden revelation is not out of character. Tony orders Pepper to overload the large arc reactor in the building even though he is still on the roof. Pepper is hesitant but obeys. The reactor releases its shockwave, knocking out the Iron Monger and killing Stane. The mini arc reactor in Tony's chest sparks back to life, allowing him to survive. The press subsequently lauds the "Iron Man"a hero. Tony likes the moniker, even though his suit is made of a gold-titanium alloy. Agent Coulson (<a href="/name/nm0163988/">Clark Gregg</a>) invents a cover story telling the "truth" about the destruction of the Stark Building: a robotic prototype malfunctioned and caused damage to the arc reactor, Stark was on his yacht in Avalon Island, Stane was killed in a small aircraft accrident while on vacation, and the Iron Man was Stark's bodyguard. In the final scene, Tony is about to report Coulson's cover story at a press conference but tosses away his prepared statement and says only, "I am Iron Man." Yes. Tony returns home to find a mysterious man in black awaiting him. He introduces himselfNick Fury, director of SHIELD. He points out that Tony is not the only superhero in existence and wants to talk about him joining the "Avenger Initiative." The original Avengers consisted of Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk. Captain America joined the group in Volume 1 of The Avengers, Issue number 4, and replaced the Hulk. Yes. During the scene after Colonel Rhodes gives his "training exercise" cover story to the press, Tony Stark is in the middle of removing his damaged suit. What appears to be a partially built, shield-like apparatus with an American flag design and a star in the middle can be seen in Stark's work area just before Pepper Potts (<a href="/name/nm0000569/">Gwyneth Paltrow</a>) discovers him. Producer <a href="/name/nm0270559/">Kevin Feige</a> has stated that it is, indeed, Captain America's shield. Blink and you'll miss it! Yes. Tony Stark puts in an appearance at the end of The Incredible Hulk (2008), which suggests that a team is being formed, most likely "The Avengers." In fact, the post-credits scene (i.e., the stinger) makes reference to the "Avengers Initiative." As Tony Stark arrives at his third annual benefit for the Firefighter's Family Fund, he pats Stan Lee who presents like Hugh Hefner, i.e. wearing a bathrobe and having a supermodel at each of his arms.
