Thats right , super heroes! Why not repaint this A-Z with a little hot rod red from perfectly good Marvel hero? Iron Man the "MCU's" (Marvel Cinematic Universe ; ah hmm, you knew that ; very first run rewards us with the presence of Billionaire, Tony Stark. It was a colossal summer slam for Marvel raking in 585 million before it was over. It reinvented how cool movies are made and help nerdy kids spend money. Now let me tell ya how. ; ]
This carefully guided weapons/career demonstration for the ultimately revived Robert Downey Jr., showcases a performance that is a birthday wish come true for any fan. Director John Favreau and Mr. Downey worked together to give us this lovable asshole ,who blows stuff up with combination of science , money , and quick wits all to the tunes of "ACDC". As wrestler Chris Jericho invented the persona of "Y2J" , RDJ reinvents the persona of Tony Stark, demonstrating his character's weapon, the "Jericho".
Tony well , he's kind of a playboy type of guy. Stark likes dating super models and reporters of the top shelve variety. He has billions and lives the fast life and does a little PR/ philanthropy on the side , ya know Bruce Wayne type stuff , except he's Iron Man.
He , being Iron Man has resourceful friends like Rhodey , a decorated military officer and best bud. Rhodey is played by Terrence Howard , who should of been in the last two sequels. Rhodey is not afraid to cover the radar for Tony while he's off playing hero. Ah Friends, Gotta Love Em!
Tony also has Pepper Pots that girl that will do anything for ya like a maid , butler, assistant, and isn't too shy to respond to romance. Then later you get the shining white knight of Phase one Agent Coulson , who sniffs around the whereabouts of Stark Tower looking for Stark. This completes the lives that constantly revolve around Tony , except for scroll down some more.........
...................................................Nah , thats not it! Keep going , looks cool though!.............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ya, keep it up Downey , everybody knows yours "Iron Man " . You, person on your pc keep scrolling ,still not there yet ! : ]
Ok Stop! Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges aka The Dude") shows he's got that bald bad guy vibe by accepting Tony's awards and do dirty business on the side. What starts as mentor /father figure relationship turn sour ,wait a minute! Almost gave up all the plot points. This is where I stop .
.Tony must live through a painful lesson in neglect and become "The Invincible Iron Man" through blood , sweat, and a whole lot of genus .As the movie goes on Downey gets more and more convincing as it's titled character. After this hell of a comeback for acting, Downy becomes comic gold and a role model to kids and adults everywhere.
I wanted to cover the Marvel films somewhere down the line , so I covered its "MCU's" beginning and probably still my favorite today. This movie started it all for me as far as anything Marvel goes. If I can say anything more on the subject of it, it would be that it's a fun kind of movie and not a hum drum one. : ]
