I am Iron Man




Nothing better than a superhero action flick to kick off the summer season. Iron Man delivers action in spades. In lieu of the previous failures (X-Men 3 and Spider-Man 3, anyone?), Iron Man is a fresh breath of awesome that is sorely lacking in many a Hollywood film.

The titular title tells the story about Tony Stark and his transformation into the man of iron. A series of events transpires that causes the otherwise selfish Tony Stark to change his views on weaponry and transform not only his company, but himself.

The story, characters, action is believable. No god-mode bullcrap (*cough*Ultraviolet*cough*), to sappy love tales (*cough*X-Men 3*cough*). Everything, while obviously fake, is easy to swallow. Iron Man, while badass, doesn't go in and blast up the place without thinking. He actually knows his limits.

Anyone looking for a good action flick to pass time and enjoy should take a look at Iron Man. This is a must see for anyone.

Score: 9/10
