Tony Stark is a billionaire and genius inventor, capricious and void, director of defense industries manufacturers and suppliers diarmo first for the U.S. government. During a test in the Middle East, to verify the effectiveness of an experimental weapon, is captured by a group of extremists. Wounded to the heart by a splinter is rescued and cured by Yinsen, a physician expert in cybernetics that apply an artificial organ. Forced by the guerrillas to build an invincible weapon for their cause, Tony designs a secret armor to escape the prison. Returning to the United States is determined to change their lives, to redress the injustice and defeat the lies of the powerful. Improved the armor with its advanced technology becomes Iron Man, a superhero by armor yellow and red.

Of cinecomix if they are made always plenty of them (think Mario Bava's Diabolik year 60) with excellent results in time (X 2 or less on all Burton's Batman) or bad (Fantastic 4, Ghost Raider, Spawn as beads incredible villainy). Iron man is not the tip apex of the genre, but its many cartridges that elevate it from the average of similar products. First, a skillful director who can never fall into demonic temptations of video clips, but instead can give vivacity, speed and adrenaline to the best scenes, those of action. Responsible actor / director John Favreau, who also wrote a delightful "Elf" with Will Ferrel great, and here at his first trial in testosterino kind of action. Then a great is part of the 'cast headed by a
manignifico Robert Downey Jr and a gigionesco
Jeff Bridges in the imagination as a possible candidate already Lex Luthor. Outline of a dull, but pretty Gwineth Paltrow in the role of red assistant Tony Stark / Iron Man, then follow the fashion of the kind of copper-colored dye the blond actress (Kristen Durst in Spiderman
it is the best example). The film follows the story of the comic rimordernizzando some parts of the story (Afghanistan instead of Vietnam) but did not rape no matter retention. The installation of the film is ironic, but there are scenes, like the initial one, where the tones are becoming increasingly gloomy and desperate. "Iron man "is a story of redemption, a man that made too much money a god on earth (for example the scene where he tries to go flying in space), but that death, war and despair simply human and make helpless. For this
billionaire Tony Stark creates an armored suit, not only to escape from a prison, but to resume her semi god, totally different from before this time: thanks to the metal he can return to his state of omnipotence, this time also physical, but with a different perspective. If you sell the first bomb was neither more nor less than a quick game to a game, now become the engine those same weapons to destroy the idea death and war. Death with death, war with war, Stark becomes the utopian dream of many Americans and Third World countries should be taken literally kick your ass dictators. The awareness of Stark is not so much on the beautiful punchline, but when he realizes the beauty of the secretary, as if now opening his eyes he could see what he accepted only in the first
surface. The last ten minutes, based on punches and phrases for effect, and are frankly terrible, even though they give the idea of \u200b\u200bcomic book movie, do a bit 'lower the threshold of credibility at all. But it is useless to complain because "Iron Man" is still a cinecomix failed:
exciting fun, fast. We are confident that the next chapters will, if possible, even better. Two excellent cameos

NB: Stan Lee, author of the original comic, the role of a
like Hugh Hefner (founder of the magazine "Playboy") and Samuel L.
Jackson as Nick Fury (do not go away after
credits).
