This is a sure-fire hit. Are you going?
In Iron Man (* * * out of four), Downey's likably snide playboy character is cut from the same anti-hero cloth as Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow — and he's primed to annihilate the competition this weekend. Downey's Tony Stark, the weapons magnate who creates and dons the high-tech suit, is charismatic, sarcastic and witty. And he finds a way to fuse swaggering confidence with soulful self-deprecation, transforming a comic-book hero into an offbeat and complex character. His worldview is radically altered in Afghanistan after being taken prisoner; he builds the super-suit and vows to do good. The extra heft brought to their cartoonish characters and the special-effects action make Iron Man entertaining and fun with the expected Marvel comic-book feats enacted with expert computer-generation imagery, the film blends elements of Transformers with James Bond movies Stark soars around in his titanium alloy outfit, aiming fireballs with perfect precision, he is as potent a figure as Superman |
