Iron Man
Of course I had no idea who Iron Man was. I’ve only heard of Superman, Spider Man, Bionic Man, Ultra Man,.. but Iron Man? Who is that?
Oh, he’s a superhero from the Marvel Comics, mom, my kids tell me. And they wanted to see the movie. so. much. I didn’t! But I’m glad I let them convince me to go.
The movie starts out with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) being caught in an unfortunate situation out in a desert war zone that leaves him with the revelation that the weapons he’s built to protect his country may indeed be used to attack it instead.
Back home, he tries to convince his family friend and partner, Obadiah (Jeff Bridges) about taking up corporate responsibility to turn things around. Like all superheros, he has a trusted sidekick who sticks with him through thick and thin.
Speaking of thin, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) is gorgeously slim and exudes a beauty I’ve never quite noticed before. She used to strike me as a little too thin but she looks really good in this movie.
Have you watched Iron Man yet? If not, you should go watch it. I recommend it. It’s a great action flick without getting too much into special effects and nothing else. It was also brilliant of the producers to adapt this comic classic to a modern and very relevant setting.

Even my niece and nephew are on my throat to take them to the movie, as I was busy with work I was not able to take them. Now that you have told me that it is good I have to definitely take them.
