Iron Man


When other superheros are defined by the humanity of their secret identity, Iron Man the superhero is the one who gives humanity to his secret identity. Without Iron Man, Tony Stark would be just another spoiled, uncaring rich prick. Iron Man is Starks way to redeem himself. Robert Downey Jr. does a remarkable job in giving Tony Starks a likable personality. Without question, Robert Downey is the superhero of this movie because he saves it from becoming super dull. This movie is filled with fantastic graphics and good thrills, but is made fun by the unique and eccentric performance of Robert Downey Jr. This movie reeks of garlic flavor and it gets 4 out 5 garlics.

Who's the Iron Man?


Iron Man. The man of iron, not steel. Superman was never my favorite superhero when I was a kid, I was a Spiderman fan. Ironman was a hero that I knew existed, but besides his cool look, I didn't follow his story.

The movie however, was better than good. The reason? Robert Downey Jr. Yeah. What was Iron Man's real name? Tony Stark? Just a name that now means, Robert Downey Jr. His performance was what, heroic? He made the movie. He was the man, or, in this case, the Iron Man. It gets four out of five garlics
