I Am Iron Man

So tonight I saw Iron Man for the second time in 24 hours. Yeah, it's that good. One of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. Robert Downey Jr. nailed the roll of Tony Stark, billionaire, playboy, inventor turned gold and titanium plated crime fighter. The origin story followed Stark to the Middle East who got kidnapped by a terrorist group and forced to build a missile. Stark with the help of a fellow prisoner instead secretly build an iron suit to escape captivity. Due to injuries sustained while being captured, Tony got shrapnel in his chest which is slowly making its way to his heart. To prevent this, he implanted an electro magnet to his chest which also serves as the suit's energy source. Back home in California, Tony builds an upgraded suit to use to destroy the weapons his company sold to terrorist groups around the globe. Obidiah Stane is Tony's business partner and the one responsible to selling weapons under the table to these groups. He steals Stark's ideas and has a suit made for himself and later becomes Iron Monger the chief villain in the film. The movie runs just over 2 hours which gives it plenty of time to build a great story with characters you like. There is plenty of humor and action that makes the time fly by and keeps you wanting more. The specials effects by ILM are incredible. As a bonus, there are a few tie ins to an Avengers spin off and/or a sequel with War Machine. Stay after the credits for a short scene with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) confronting Tony with a proposition to join what he calls the "Avenger Initiative." Where do I sign up?
