Iron Man 1 & 2

Let's Talk Movies

Hello everyone, todays topic is Iron Man 1 & 2

      First, I wnat to go on the record saying that Robert Downing Jr. is sexy....Now that I got that out of my system, let's get ack to the topic at hand.

      Tony Stark, played by Robert Downing Jr, is a young billionaire who takes over his father's company at the age of 21.  A company that manufactures weapons; weapons that end up in the wrong hands, put there by Tony's partner.  That is when Tony relaizes he has bee double crossed.

      Now, I believe Rbert was great in this film.  Iron Man was magnificent.  It had the right level of action, whick by the way, I love.  You have a man who is forced to take a second look at his life.  A man who is forced to live with this thing in the middle of his chest for the rest of his life.  This round battery operated device is preventing small particles form reaching his heart, which could kill him if they did.  At least that's how it starts, until the brilliant minded Tony Stark improves it.  The device then becomes the Arc Reactor that gives off continuous light.  Pretty cool, right?  If you haven't seen this film yet, then you are already about 2 films behind and it's time to play catch up.  I say 2 because you have Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and now The Avengers, where Tony Stark makes his apperance to help save the world.

I hope I'm not overwhelming you with my opinions just yet.

Our next topic is Iron Man 2.

      In Iron Man 2, Tony Stark and his best friend James Rhodes, played by Terrence Howard in the first movie, but now being played by Don Cheadle, team up together to help the citizens of their town and possibly the world.  Iron Man's new enemies, played by Mickey Rourke, who is trying to prove a point about the Stark family may or may not have done nearly 40 years ago and one very jealous man, played by Sam Rockwell, who wants to be bigger, better, and richer than Tony Stark.

      Now, let's get back to Tony and military friend James Rhodes.  As we all remember, Rhodes and Stark had a big fight that completely destroyed Stark's beautiful house.  I'm surprised the house didn't cave in.  Anyway, it takes real man to execpt the fact that they were wrong about eachother and as friends, patched things up while saving citizens.  Now this film was remarkale.  What I loved most about this film was the fact it had almost 5 times the action as the first.  I expecially the how two friends can put aside their differences, come together and ehlp protect the innocent citizens of their city.  Tony Stark is constantly given obstacles that force him to think about his life and make changes. 

      With the upgradedone on the Arc Reactor, Tony manged to get everything back on track.  With the ratings this movie got and in my own opinion, how freaking awesome this movie is, I can't wait to see Iron Man 3.  Which by the way is said to come out May 3, 2013.  I don't know about you, but I will be at the midnight release for that one.  Both of these movies are phenomenal.  Hollywood knew what they were doing with these two movies.  With the second movie being better than the first, only they know how well the third one will do, at least til opening night.

That's all for now, til then.......
