Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a billionaire industrialist whose forte is building weapons of mass destruction. When he's severely injured while testing one of those weapons in Afghanistan, he's kidnapped by insurgents and has to build a suit of iron armor to escape his captors. After returning to the U.S., Stark refines his iron creation and transforms himself into a flying metallic repulsor-ray-firing superhero. When his biggest business rival, Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), gets his hands on Stark's original plans, he creates an even bigger iron adversary to defeat Stark once and for all.
The first summer blockbuster of 2008 didn't disappoint. Iron Man is a great action family friendly movie. Robert Downey Jr. is great as the hard living, hard drinking millionaire who has a change of heart. Luckily for us, his change of heart is still bad news for Arab terrorists. Check this one out before it leaves theaters. Jamie says "8".

Good movie. This film truly delivered some great action and was a great first summer movie. I can't wait for the second one with Tony Stark's friend Rhodey being the second Iron Man, War Machine.
